buildnz
Simply put, buildnz is the key business-to-business marketing event in the New Zealand construction industry. Every two years, buildnz successfully attracts top quality exhibitors and large numbers of qualified visitors ready to try and buy. There’s something you can do right now to attract new customers, promote new products and services, and make new sales. You can book a stand at buildnz 2011.
For the first time in 2011, the Registered Master Builders Federation of New Zealand (RMBF) will be holding its annual conference in conjunction with buildnz, featuring a full programme of functions and industry-relevant seminars. This is a major endorsement of the buildnz event that will be sure to attract significant numbers. No other show can match buildnz’s pulling power nor its comprehensive collection of exhibitors, partly because buildnz is co-located with designex, New Zealand’s largest and most important design trade exhibition.
The crowds of customers who visit buildnz and designex are there to do business: 77% of visitors to the 2009 shows held direct authority or influence for purchasing, 57% placed an order or organised a quote, and 83% saw something that they were likely to buy in the following six months.
Just under half of all buildnz visitors came to see and trial new products – can your business afford to miss the opportunity to influence these visitors’ purchasing decisions?
“We exhibited for the first time at the buildnz\designex show in
2009 and are glad we did. We managed to increase awareness of
our products and company name to a large group of potential new
customers. We’re looking forward to the 2011 show!”

Now firmly established as New Zealand’s foremost textiles galleria, plush offers exhibitors unprecedented access to large numbers of highly motivated customers ready to buy.
