Hi Guys,

Very interesting reading here!

We really feel that the window cleaning community need a good worthwhile show to visit with many members, seminars, competitions and suppliers to interact with!

What time of year would be best? Last year we had the VanFest in September and had some great weather but this leaves little time for planning and many are away on holiday. Later in the year? November? Next year? March?

What would you like to see seminars on? Increasing business? Best ways to wfp/trad? How to convert customers/quotes? All ideas would be great here - we would like to put the show together for you and something that makes it worthwhile for you guys to turn up and have a great day!

Keep the ideas coming and we can plan the ultimate trade show for the window cleaning industry!

Thanks,

Mitch.

 

Very interesting Mitch..... one needs to defo happen but I guess with enough time for you to get the message out and pull everything together. Was it really last September?? At the last VanFest I made so new great friends like Richard Clue and Wulfy and it was nice to see companies like GrippaTank there with there GrippaMax system..... plus the Phoenix pole was revealed for the very first time on that day, like exclusively!! It was a nice location as there was lots todo for the whole family.... I took my daughter with me on that day, we spent time talking with other window cleaners, checking out exhibitors then going into the amusement part with the rides..... was a brill day.

Hi Guys,

We have contacted many suppliers recently to see if there is a neeed for an event like this.......and there really is!!

We have had nothing but positive comments about organising a trade show / event for window cleaners, several have already put their name down for when we have further details!!

So it seems the suppliers are on board and excited about bringing the whole industry together.......so we just want to make sure that other than special offers, competitions, seminars and giveaways on the day what will bring you guys to the event!?!

If you have any ideas please feel free, seminars with talks on subjects of interest to all such as "How to increase your business?" seem to be popular!

This is getting very exciting for the window cleaning industry - it's giving everyone a chance to have a presence and attend so all can benefit from the event!

I look forward to getting ideas and planning this event further.

Thanks for your time,

Mitch.
