“We’ve seen a lot of new customers at the show this year, but it’s also been great for networking with existing customers – which is probably just as valuable. We are an LED model manufacturer, and we’ve had a new module that we’ve launched at the show and that’s been well received.”

“It’s been a really great show – really, really good! We’ve launched a new product and everyone is really interested in it and we’ve had a lot of enquiries. It’s the first time we’ve had a stand this size and everything has gone really well. We launched this product at Sign & Digital UK as it’s generally recognised as the key show in the year for signage makers and everyone involved in the sign and digital business – so it was really a no-brainer. We’ve had a really good quality of customers – people who are decision makers in the business and are looking to buy. We are coming back next year!”

“We had a very successful Sign & Digital UK in 2017 with a few surprises and lots of leads to take back to Lancashire. It’s always an interesting show with lots going on, which is why we’ve been a fixture on the exhibitor list for so many news.”

“Sign & Digital is a great forum for us to meet distributors, customers and to broaden our brand and is the right partner to work with - professional, experienced, service-minded with the right customer base. We are very pleased with the whole event and our sales in the UK increase every year we participate. See you in Birmingham in 2018!”

“It’s been a really interesting experience exhibiting at Sign & Digital UK this year due to the wide range of new products that we have been exhibiting. We’ve exhibited at Sign & Digital UK for the past few years and I’ve always felt it’s a really good environment to get our products across. We’ve gone into this year with a lot more space and a much bigger stand, and are really pleased with the leads we have obtained and the quality of the customers. Sometimes it only takes 3 or 4 new accounts to feel like the event is justified, but in this case there has been a lot more than that.”

“Sign and Digital UK is a key part of InkTec’s calendar as it gives us the opportunity to showcase our very latest products, such as the JETRIX LXi8 which had its worldwide debut at this year’s event. As always 2017 saw us networking with existing clients and meeting lots of new contacts for both our printers and consumables. We were especially proud to be here this year, as it also formed part of our celebrations of 25 years since InkTec first started.”

“We had a brilliant Sign and Digital UK 2017. The show provided a great platform to discuss innovative ways for our customers and prospects to evolve and grow their businesses. The feedback we received on stand was fantastic. Along with our industry leading technology, we demonstrated a wide range of applications illustrating what’s possible and helping to inspire customers with potential new growth areas. As part of this, we were very excited to showcase applications of the revolutionary new UVgel technology for the first time in the UK.”

“It has been really productive, we’ve been really busy and people have been really interested. For us as a company it has been well worth it to attend.”

“Sign & Digital UK gives us a chance to wave the Mimaki and Hybrid flag, to meet customers old and new, and of course it gives us the best opportunity to launch new products. This year is no exception – we have the new large jfx printer, which has been the star of the show. This show gives us a chance to enhance our share in the printing market. We wanted to come here and launch products as it’s the main UK show for anyone working with graphics and the beauty of the show is that it attracts small signmakers right through to the big graphic producers.”

“There has been a lot of interest in the different machines we have on offer and quite a varied audience. There has been a high quality of customer and it seems that everyone is looking for a wide variety of products. We will definitely come back. Because the show is so central in the country it brings everybody from all four corners.”

“Our experience at Sign & Digital UK has been excellent and we’ve taken a lot of orders. We’ve got two new bits of kit on the stand and have sold every single model on the stand. The thing is – everybody comes to Sign & Digital UK. If you ever hear negative comments about the show saying it’s just for the sign guys – that’s rubbish. We have had Hollywood Monster, Macro Art, Delta Display, Media Co. DIS – everybody comes here!”

“It’s been very busy so far, two and a half days in and we’ve had quite a lot of enquiries. The machine has drawn a lot of attention. It was a last minute decision to come here, but we are here every year whether it’s with our dealers or independently, but it seemed like the right decision to make. We will obviously need to follow up, but on first impression it has seemed like really good, high quality visitors and leads. We will be coming back to the show, we always seem to get something out of it so it makes sense, it’s one of those ones that is always on the calendar.

“The exhibition provided a perfect opportunity to meet existing and potential new customers face-to-face, which always opens the door to great discussions about their needs and requirements, products and the industry in general. We were able to demonstrate Swanline’s capabilities in constructional design, graphics and materials on stand which attracted a considerable amount of attention from visitors. Overall, we were really pleased with how the exhibition went. There was significant interest from some big players in the market towards our new products that were unveiled at the show, generating good leads which we aim to turn into sales.”

“The experience so far has been very good for the amount of enquires for the first time ever we’ve shown as Rightons at Sign & Digital UK. We have had a good footfall of enquires, some from existing customers and a lot of new faces. This is the first show that we’ve done as Rightons – so we have got a lot to talk about. We wanted to promote the one stop distribution opportunity for the sign and digital market. We are already in discussion about coming back – possibly with a bigger stand.”

“It’s been a great three days, with lots of leads every day. Yesterday was pretty crazy with people queuing up to get on the stand. There were lots of orders taken, and it was probably one of the best Sign & Digitals we have ever had. There has been a very good quality of customers – both new and existing – lots of familiar faces including people we’ve already got relationships with looking to upgrade their current kit or buy our new range of materials. We have got lots of new things at the show this year and they have proved really popular. We have already booked a stand that’s about 30% bigger for next year.”

“We’ve found the show to be quite busy all three days, and we are pleased with what we’ve got back from it so far. Over the course of the three days we have had around about 60 enquires, which has been a really good result. People who have come on the stand are definitely our target market. We do supply a lot to the trade and a lot of customers have been trade customers, like shop fitters, signage companies which is the right type of customer we are looking for.”

“Sign & Digital UK has been a great opportunity for us to show how our MIS can deal with the complexities of a large format workflow, including the new functionality we’ve developed for this sector. This year, MIS was definitely on their shopping lists and we secured some top-quality leads from visitors who were at the show to make informed decisions going forward and were clearly decision-makers within their companies.”
