Oooosh! At the NUS Show

The NUS Trade Conference & Exhibition took place on Tuesday 25th June at Birmingham NEC, bringing together Student Union managers and operational managers in catering, events, entertainment, licensed trade and retail from across the UK. As sole endorsed supplier of promotional merchandise to the NUS, Hambleside Merchandise attended, armed with plenty of interesting product samples and Keith Lemon! Our vibrant, colourful stand, promoting student health was the talk of the Exhibition due to our outspoken celebrity lookalike! Keith Lemon was incredibly enthusiastic and broke the ice with delegates who were passing our stand. He coaxed them over to the stand to get a photo with him in front of our photo screen and then expertly passed them to us to discuss promotional merchandise. The delegates were open-minded about the freebie promotional condoms – in line with the student health theme – and keen to have their photos taken with Keith. Approximately 400 delegates attended the show which was a great turnout. The feedback we received was excellent and this was reflected in the number of direct enquiries that were placed. Our product samples had great feedback – the lanyards and the iPhone Trumpet being the most popular requests. Since the show we have also had many requests for samples of the Americano Mugs and the condoms which were regarded as a great idea for Freshers’ packs. All photos of the delegates with Keith Lemon have been uploaded to our Facebook page which can be viewed by clicking here. Tag yourself and tag your friends!
