‘Exhibitions Prompt Change’ – KBBG Shares its Success From kbb Birmingham 2024

KBBG (part of DER KREIS, Europe’s leading kitchen and bathroom buying group) unveiled its most ambitious stand to date at kbb Birmingham 2024. It was the sixth kbb show that the KBBG has been involved with and the team noted a strong enthusiasm amongst visitors and a willingness to make changes and try new things.

The buying group’s profile at kbb Birmingham has grown throughout the years, thanks to the support of its suppliers; KBBG usually partners with one of its suppliers on a co-branded stand. Now, in 2024, KBBG was the primary exhibitor, presenting the many benefits of KBBG membership, while displaying elements from several of its suppliers, to bring the space to life.

Bill Miller, Managing Director, KBBG, says: “Our stand showcased a kitchen from Nobilia’s Vivari range, which is exclusive to KBBG members, as well as Smeg appliances and a Blanco sink and tap. What’s more, for the very first time, we presented bathroom ranges on our stand at kbb with products from Decosan, Ramon Soler, Roman Showers and Multipanel. We have been committed to enhancing our bathroom offering over recent years and being able to have a bathroom display on our stand this year is testament to our growing success in this area.”

The central area of the KBBG stand was dedicated to mykitchenspecialist.co.uk; a consumer facing website, which supports KBBG members in generating new leads. There was also plenty of meeting space with furniture supplied by Lamboro alongside stylish pendant lights from Sycamore Lighting.

Bill adds: “Everything on our stand was available from our suppliers from the showstopping kitchen to the very furniture that our visitors used to meet our team. It was a fantastic way of highlighting the brands that independent retailers can access through KBBG membership.”

KBBG achieved a significant number of quality leads from the exhibition and hopes to expand its membership even further in time for the group’s Annual Members’ Meeting, which is taking place at the National Space Centre on Monday 10th June 2024.

Bill concludes: “Participating in an exhibition is a huge commitment but where else would we meet so many of our direct target audience in one place? Face-to-face interaction, with those keen to hear more about your business, is worth its weight in gold and kbb 2024 provided us with a platform to explain the many benefits of joining our buying group to a captive audience.

“There is no doubt that exhibitions prompt change. Walking around and seeing the wonderful products and innovations on the market encourage retailers to upgrade their offerings and make positive changes to their business.”
