Nancy Ilcken of Eurolight: “At TICA, customers can take their items with them directly. This makes it very easy for us, because lamp shades for example are fragile and can easily damage during shipments. The biggest advantages for customers: the product range and the trend square presentations. I think it might be better to display these even more.”
WHY DO HOME, GIFT & GARDEN PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS, DESIGNERS AND IMPORTERS ALL SHOP AT TICA WHOLESALE MARKET? MEET SOME OF OUR EXHIBITORS…
John Grootscholten of Present Time: “We participate at TICA because our range – from funny gadgets to stylish living accessories – has something for everyone. With our high-quality, affordable design, we can complement TICA’s extensive range.”
Marion Streng of the go’round: “Exhibitors benefit from TICA’s brand name. Together, all the exhibitors offer a mixed variety of styles. This makes for an interesting mix, and allows buyers to make very targeted procurements for whichever style, be it trendy, rural, Scandinavian or classical.”
Diederik Kersten of Kersten: “For us, TICA is an ideal platform for presenting part of our product range. It’s a true marketplace where customers can browse and make real finds. Another great aspect is the fact that they can purchase smaller amounts and that their purchases are tangible: cash & carry.”
Angélique Clares-van Lint of Rocaflor: “TICA is ideally located: it’s a stone’s throw from Flora Holland’s flower auction and close to Amsterdam and Schiphol International Airport. Centrally positioned at a logistical intersection, it’s perfect for product shipping all over the world. It is partially due to its location that we were able to develop such a broad, valuable client base at TICA, both nationally and internationally.”
Yasmina Chahbar of Zenza: “TICA’s power is in its wide diversity of customers. This way, we’re able to reach a very broad public in one location. Everything looks perfectly executed and customers can get extra inspiration from the collective presentations on the trend square. As an exhibitor, I find the trend lectures very informative.”
Petra Biemans of Clayre & Eef: “TICA is a strong concept: there are 175 reasons for customers to attend. We do what we’re good at: compiling an amazing collection. TICA takes care of the rest. All the facilities are both practical and enjoyable: client reception, settling up at the payment desk, and product delivery to the Netherlands and abroad, not to forget the Ticafé!”
Dimitri Galanidis of Diga Colmore: “TICA is a fantastic sales and purchasing centre, a model for all cash & carry events in Europe. It’s basically a warehouse for customers: they determine their purchasing amounts, without shipping costs or minimum purchase amounts per exhibitor. This is to our convenience as well, as we suffer minimum damages as a result.”
Peter Jongejan of Colours & Green: TICA is the place to present our collection in a prominent way to a target group interested in the latest trends - because this is what we offer, in models and in combinations. In addition, we offer customers myriad decorating and presentation ideas. Guaranteed profit, I’d say.”
Willem Kooiman of Rustik Lys and Broste Copenhagen: “TICA’s best feature: customers can check out the products ‘live’ and take them with them on site in a sales showroom… Major customers could make great use of this cash & carry function, as this way they can anticipate the newest developments. It’s also the perfect way to test trends.”
Ido Simon of Kitchen Trend Products: “TICA is really handy and it’s a great sales platform. Because exhibitors do not impose minimum purchase amounts, customers are able to try out the products. And they can do so with products from 175 exhibitors… They can also purchase quick extra items, allowing them to replenish fast-selling stock.”
