The only show for your business

The Baby Show is the new brand of 'The Parent and Child Show', New Zealand's most successful parenting consumer exhibition since 1993. If your business provides products and services for pregnancy, new parents, babies, toddlers or pre-school children, this is where you need to be.

Why become a Baby Show exhibitor?

Pregnant couples, new parents, and parents of young children are time-poor, stressed, and desperate for the products, services, and good advice they need to do their very best for their growing families. The Baby Show gives them the chance to find everything they're looking for in a single, low-pressure, family-friendly environment. That makes the Baby Show a golden opportunity to capture the parenting market and make new sales.

 
Connect with big crowds

Connect with big crowds

The Baby Show audience is refreshed every year as a new wave of ordinary people suddenly find themselves pregnant and often under-prepared for their new role. The show attracts consistently large crowds of young parents and parents-to-be, primed and ready to buy.

We're establishing the Baby Show brand in Auckland first of all but our long-term goal is to bring it to Wellington and Christchurch too. If you would be interested in exhibiting in these cities, please let us know what show you're interested in.

The power of face-to-face marketing

Customers get the full story at exhibitions. They can pick up your product, test it out, ask you questions, compare and contrast, and purchase on the spot.

The Baby Show attracts more new customers than any other event in the sector and puts you in direct, face-to-face contact so you can make your pitch and close the deal.

No other medium drives your marketing spend further or gives you more opportunities to promote your brand, demonstrate your products and services, grow your customer databases and make new sales.

Online promotion? You bet!

Online promotion? You bet!

The biggest element in the Baby Show rebranding is this very website - a completely new, online platform redesigned to communicate more effectively with thousands of visitors before, during, and after the show, and make your exhibition investment go further.

Utilise your own profile page within the site to promote your specials, competitions, and new products, and to initiate two-way conversations with your customers.

Email newsletters? Of course!

A cornerstone of our promotional programme every year is a carefully timed series of email newsletters sent to our growing visitor database.

Written with compelling information about the show and its many features, these newsletters are an excellent opportunity to promote your latest products, special deals, competitions, and more.

Send us your media releases for possible inclusion.

Social networking? For sure!

Mums, dads, and parents-to-be are going online in big numbers to shop, chat, get advice, and share photos and stories. They're one of the most web-savvy demographic groups and getting more so every year.

Connecting with these audiences online has huge potential for your brand - this new website will help your company grow its online presence before and after the show and talk directly to new customers.

We also use Facebook and Twitter to promote the Baby Show and enable exhibitors to communicate directly with our friends and followers.

This website and these social networking channels are essential online tools that will help build bigger audiences for the shows and ultimately promote your products and service.

We attract trade visitors too

Although the Baby Show is not a trade show, it is the biggest baby and parenting event in New Zealand and therefore attracts significant numbers of trade visitors along with the mums and dads.

Trade visitors include buyers on the lookout for giftwares, homewares, and new stock to add to the shelves of major retailers, plus early childhood educators, kindergartens, crèches, preschools, daycare centres, hospitals, and homecare providers.
