Spring Fair takes place from first Sunday in February at the Birmingham NEC. There are thousands of exhibitors showcasing ranges of products including giftware, design-led products, pictures and prints, jewellery, collectibles, china and glass, furniture, home furnishings, housewares, stationery and of course greeting cards.
There’s a special section in the greeting card hall called GCA Debut area, which gives GCA members exhibiting for the first time an opportunity to try out the show at a reduced rate, and be in a signposted area with other young companies. This area is popular with buyers looking for new publishers.
There is also an additional marketing opportunity for GCA members at the show. Spring Fair are working with the GCA to promote card sending by encouraging everyone visiting the greeting card area at the show to write and send some cards.
