Within this article, we will go over the process of our brand new mini huddles!
What are Mini Huddles?
New to 2023, our Mini Huddles are a perfect way to have meetings where you can present your Brand to buyers from UK buyers including supermarkets and chains, wholesale, department stores, garden centres, farm shops, travel & tourism, hospitality and international!
As buyers can engage with suppliers, interactions at Huddles events will increase the chances of successful partnerships. You will be able to speak directly to buyer, and answer any questions they may have face to face.
With each event, we have an AM & PM session available. The AM session is between 9am - 12pm, and the PM session between 1pm - 4pm.
I've booked Mini Huddles, what's next?
During the time leading up to your pitch, you will receive a number of emails from us detailing how to prepare for your pitch, top tips, and much more.
Two weeks prior to the event, you will be provided a one-hour time slot. We ask if you could arrive 15-minutes prior to your start time as this will begin sharp.
If you book the double session, we will work to have your AM session closer to the end, and the PM session at the start to save waiting around all day.
If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at support@productguru.co.uk or use the chat widget in the bottom-right hand corner of the screen on our website.
How do Mini Huddles work?
When you arrive at the venue, you will greeted by one of the Product Guru team who will take you within the event space and explain how the day will work. The buyers will be sat around the event space where you will work your way around the room though out your time slot provided.
A 2-minute warning will be provided at 8-minutes to advise your meeting time is nearly over, this is the perfect time to start wrapping up the conversation to ensure nothing is missed.
Unlike our original Huddle events, accommodation within Mini Huddles is not provided. This is either a full or half day event dependant on which package is booked.
What do I bring?
We suggest to bring product samples to move around each meeting to show and discuss with the buyers, however we are encouraging not to overpack as many of the buyers will be traveling via public transport so will find it difficult to carry samples around with them. If you do want to give samples away, please bring a gift bag or something similar so they can easily take it away with them.
What is the cost?
To join either the AM or PM session there is a cost of £695 per event, however if you join both sessions this would cost £995.
Included in the cost:
- Guaranteed time slots to meet and engage with all relevant buyers - get 10 minutes to pitch!
- Guaranteed exposure. Buyers will have integrated tech on hand to take actions and provide feedback.
