Autumn Fair 2011 at the NEC in Birmingham runs from 04.09.11 to 07.09.11 this year and is a great place to view a large number of suppliers all under one roof. However not all suppliers exhibit at this exhibition and Scarthingwell Replicas is one of these.
After many years of regularly exhibiting at The Furniture Show (now Interiors Birmingham), The Spring Fair and The Autumn Fair we took a long hard look at the finances and practicalities of these exhibitions and decided, for us, the return was no longer worth the outlay. We found every year prices for every aspect of the exhibitions were increasing while footfall and the return on our investment were diminishing.
So our main point of contact with customers is now through our website where we showcase our full range of wholesale home accessories, our blog and through face to face visits from our sales agents. We have found this enables us to devote more energy to keeping our website as up to date as possible. All new items appear within a day or two of them arriving and we only show wholesale shabby chic gifts and furnishings which are in stock now. This means customers can place their order and receive all their goods within 4 or 5 working days, a far cry from competitor websites which show lots of out of stock items with long lead times.
If you have visited Autumn Fair and placed orders, only to be told after the exhibition there are long lead times for your goods we would suggest you take a look around our site to order goods which can be delivered and on your shop floor in less than a week. Don’t cancel your existing order but if you need stock quickly to sell while you wait for your Autumn Fair delivery, Scarthingwell is the place to buy giftware and accessories for immediate delivery.
We have new deliveries of stock arriving regularly between now and Christmas so do remember to check back regularly, or better still register for our regular emails advising when new stock is available.
The pre Christmas trading period is an incredibly important time for small and independent retailers and stock availability can make a huge difference to the purchasing decisions made by businesses planning for this time. With this in mind we keep our website as accurate and up to date with our current stock availability as we can to ensure our customers can plan and purchase to suit their needs.
We have several delivery options available and this combined with no minimum order value or minimum order quantity makes us one of the most accommodating and flexible wholesalers in the UK.
So if you didn’t find all you wanted at the Autumn Fair, your order may not be delivered before Christmas or you simply need some new, fresh lines take a look at our wholesale accessories and giftware or come and visit us at our cash and carry warehouse in North Yorkshire.
