"It's my seventh year at the show and I really like the new white stands, they make the show look modern and open. This year, I've really appreciated the lovely boys in the car park who have helped take my stock inside. Words can't describe how helpful that is. It's the small things that make a big difference."
– Christina, Mumi and Bubi

"We love exhibiting at the Baby Show. The organisation and ease of set up is great, the staff are helpful, and we love meeting clients new and old, and putting a face to our brand."
– The Lauren and Delwyn Project

"It's been really great. I've done heaps of expos but I like this one the best. There are bubbles, bright colours and everyone is really helpful. I'll come back when I have my own children because there are such good show specials."
– Wanja, Lego Duplo

"I love exhibiting at the Baby Show. It's a great way to get brand exposure and speak with your target market face-to-face. On top of that it is really well organised and promoted. I also appreciated all the extra staff that was around to help carry stock!"
– Ochre Baby

"If you have a product for pregnant women, babies or young families, then the Baby Show is the place to be. There is no easier way to reach your target market! I also love meeting all of the exhibitors and catching up with everyone every year. It is quite a lovely community."
– The Nappy Lady

"The Baby Show is an important event for us to be able to meet and discuss our products with our potential market. It is an excellent event. Congratulations Baby Show team."
– Sea-Band Mama

"NZSale loved being a part of the 2013 Baby Show. Communication was fantastic in the build-up, staff very friendly and helpful during the show. Very professional job! Thanks guys."
– NZSale

"The Baby Show is a one-stop venue to be in front of an engaged audience. Consumers get to touch, feel, see and learn about your products, while as a business you get to network, gain customer loyalty, sales and educate your consumers. It's also a lovely way for your consumers to get to know the personality of the business as opposed to just the products or services the business stands for. The Baby Show is superbly organised and nothing is left unturned – there must be an enormous amount of effort and planning that happens in the lead-up – and the reflection of this is displayed in the result not just over the three days of the show, but also with the follow-up post-show. Well done to all at North Port Events."
– Two Little Feet

"Thank you to everyone involved in the Auckland Baby Show. Everyone we dealt with was professional and wanted to help us in every way possible. We launched a new product at the show and the support we received in the marketing and promotion of the product enabled us to sell-out within an hour on the third day of the show. We have also taken many manual orders as well as numerous trade enquiries. We have already booked to return next year. I would recommend the show without hesitation."
– Jason Cavallaro, Managing Director, paulandstella (the self-heating baby bottle Australia & New Zealand)

"The Baby Show again provided us at Comfy Bebe the opportunity to connect with our customers and present our products, both with information and demonstrations. It's always a great few days where each year the brand gains more strength and recognition in the market place."
– Comfy Bebe

"Fantastic, a really good show. Each year seems to get better and busier and the PR has been brilliant. It was good to see that the Chinese media has also been covered."
– Tracey, NUK

"It's our first time exhibiting at the show and we're enjoying the nice atmosphere and think we will come back, we've had a lot of interest in our product."
– Ross, Ultimate Playgrounds

"Really busy show and we've often had a queue at the till, with a lot of people coming to the show just to see us, which makes us happy."
– Louise Tanguay, The Sleep Store

"It was a great show and we've already signed up for next year. Numbers are up and our brand is beginning to have some resonance in the market. Sales are good, happy days!"

– NZ Born

"I love exhibiting at the Baby Show. It gives us a chance to educate new people with the Mumanu pillow as well as getting feedback from those who are already using it. In fact it's so much fun I was even able to run a half marathon in the morning of the final day and still come in to do the show with a smile on my face!"
– Samantha Thurlby-Brooks, Mumanu

"It allowed our brand more exposure to the shopping decision-makers and to educate them on the difference between our product and other brands."

"Our number one show where we engage with parents face-to-face."

I really enjoyed the whole experience."
– Krystal, Ochre Baby

"The Auckland Baby Show is a key event on the Huggies calendar as a way to get face-to-face engagement with our target market and educate them on the benefits of our products. With a range of sampling activities in-market, the Baby Show may not be the cheapest per contact. It is, however, a higher quality of engagement and I would argue a higher conversion rate." 
– Cody Goodall, Huggies

"It's the Bathurst of pregnant women… there's just babies and children everywhere. With the product that we do, it suits the market perfectly."
– Ritchie Watson, Kiwi Living Ltd

"If you've got a product that is relevant to a pregnant woman or babies or children, then this is the place to be."
– Kate Meads, The Nappy Lady

– Lauren, The Lauren and Delwyn Project

"The Baby Show was  a hit for us – we were able to increase our brand awareness in an area that is particular to our business."
– Jemma's Family Daycare

– my Layby

"Great show, and a great chance for our customers to come and view our products first-hand, as we are located in Pukekohe and it's a long way out for a lot of people to come."
– Karen, Baby Trenz

"As wholesalers, it is the only time of the year we get to interact with consumers, get their feedback and find out how much they know about our brand. The Baby Show worked perfectly for this. However, the main purpose is to give out information and samples for our brand and we certainly achieved this. The bonus... heaps of parents were convinced enough to purchase during the show, and hopefully in the months to come from retailers."
– Rumina

"The Baby Show offered us a successful foray into the New Zealand market and we certainly hope for continued growth for the brand."
– Jose Rivalland, iCandy

"The Baby Show was a fantastic sampling opportunity for us and we were blown away by the feedback we received – and the sales!"
– Blair Roberts, Totally Devoted

"We do sell quite a lot at the Baby Show. We get new parents who don't know about the brand, they'll come and they'll purchase something and then we get them back, because they've used it and they like the quality of NZ-made."
– Dimples

"A great opportunity to present products directly to potential customers."
– Daniel Thomas, It Makes Sense Ltd

– Sharmila Sukha, PixiFoto

"This was our first show with North Port and we did not know what to expect. The staff, particularly Terri, were very helpful and encouraging. We knew the show would be a difficult one for us, as we were targeting a very small niche market. We were very pleased with the overall experience of the show and are seriously considering exhibiting once again next year."
– Babee Products

"This was our first year exhibiting and we wanted to meet our market and get some brand awareness as well as increase our database. We achieved both so were very pleased."

– Gina, Evermore Photography

"You're never ever going to get that sort of contact, directly to your market, elsewhere: it's a no brainer, isn't it? Where can you get return on investment like that?"
– Steve Riley, Nosefrida

"We exhibited at the Baby Show for the first time this year with the objective of introducing new products to the market and raising brand awareness. We are pleased with the results achieved in both these areas."
– Troy Woods, Pan Pacific Industries (NZ importers of Sea-Band and Sea-Band mama!)

Being able to engage with parents and interact with children allows us to expose this group to our services. In 2012 we hope to be back to once again engage with the communities towards their safety and injury prevention."
– George Stephens, New Zealand Fire Service

'We love the show every year. We've made fantastic contacts, increased our client base and showcased products to thousands of parents. I've yet to find a better way to get in front of so many parents at one time. Plus, the show staff always go out of their way to help us succeed."
– Kate Meads, The Nappy Lady

"Sports4tots thoroughly enjoyed the show. This was our first time being involved and we found the process easy from start to finish. There was plenty of onsite help and assistance over the weekend… this is the one show you should attend."
– Lisa Cross, Sports4tots NZ Ltd

"If your target market is anything to do with pregnancy, babies and preschoolers then THIS IS THE EVENT TO BE AT!

Thank you North Port Events – another year of excellent satisfaction!"
– Kara Subritzky, Jack & Abby

– Paula Ruiz, Comfy Bebe

"We thoroughly enjoy exhibiting itti bitti at the ASG Parent and Child Show. We have such a visual product and we get such an amazing response, both during the show and after with sales through the website. We are aware though that these shows are not always about the sale, but getting the brand name out there, and that is our main focus."
– Karyn Cray, itti bitti NZ

– Kitty Zeng, ALLBABY

"The Parent and Child Show offers a great opportunity to meet face-to-face with our existing and new customers, and a great chance for our customers to see our products first-hand.

– Mocka

"The Parent and Child Show is a great opportunity for us to meet our customers, meet mums-to-be, provide education on products available, demonstrate our new products, and is a great audience for our first Tommee Tippee Tea Time Talks seminars. It is a great branding exercise for our company."
– Jackel NZ / Tommee Tippee

"The people who visited were there to buy and were genuinely interested in the products – not just there for the free samples. Strangely enough, our sales on Sunday were even better than the Saturday though there were less visitors. All in all a great show for us!"
– Real Nappies

– Mother and Child Mobile Natural Health Clinic

"The Auckland Parent and Child Show provides fantastic exposure for our Breastmates brand. It's fabulous being able to talk to so many customers in person, and they like being able to see our products for real rather than just looking at the images on our website. The show is run by industry experts and the level of organisation and help is just astounding. This includes their pre-show training, which is very valuable for first-timers."
– Breastmates.co.nz

"This entire event is managed impeccably; the support, communication and friendliness from the North Port Events team is just brilliant. We are massively addicted to the ASG Parent and Child Show. It's a fabulous opportunity for us to introduce ourselves to thousands of parents, to meet our existing customers, and for them to meet us! The show brings our target market directly to us – this is definitely the place to be. It is fabulous and we've already booked for 2009!"
– Jack & Abby

"I find the show incredibly important to get exposure out there and meet with potential new clients.

All the ingredients are available for a great show, I will be back."

– Motherwell

"North Port Events does a fantastic job of organising all the Parent and Child Shows throughout the country. I was especially impressed with the new structure of the Auckland show in October this year. Congestion was reduced to a minimum, which made for a much calmer event. Thanks North Port Events for all your help in creating successful shows."
– Mountain Buggy Ltd

"Reaching our target market has never been as easy as participating in the Auckland ASG Parent and Child Show this year. The networking opportunities at the exhibitor function were a bonus (along with the wine and delicious nibbles!). I can't say enough about the North Port Events staff and their subcontractors. They all supplied superb service and were always there when you needed them. We will see you guys again next year for another fabulous weekend or three!"
– Nappy Days

"We have found being part of the Parent and Child Shows such a positive experience – the North Port team are helpful and have a great support crew onsite, and it's fantastic being in the midst of hundreds of target market buyers! Not only do we have the opportunity to meet with our customers face-to-face and gain their valuable feedback, we also have an excellent branding opportunity throughout the three main centres."

We always feel so supported by the staff at North Port Events, who make exhibiting a breeze.
