Exhibitor testimonials 2019
“The Waikato Home and Garden Show gets us in front of customers we had not yet been in front of, and the ability to talk to them one on one about their situation and then book a consultation for the weeks following the show is so valuable to our business. We generate sales we would otherwise have not had the chance too."
Jamie Smith, Curtain Design
“We have been exhibiting at the show for several years and found it a great way to showcase the business and also generate new business. Staff have always been pleasant to work with, and the show will continue to be a big part of our marketing budget and strategy.”
Phillip Webb, Mondo Homes
“Brand building is about consistency and in the end “engaged” brains and eyeballs. While a big fan of digital I think that home shows can be an excellent investment. Flexiroof will take a bigger stand next year. Cheers!
Simon, Founder and CEO of Flexiroof
“It was our first time being part of the show. Great experience being part of the show and looking forward to next year’s one already.”
Sue Sinclair, NZ Rangehood Installers Ltd

Fiona Coupland, WealthHealth Ltd
“The staff are amazing at the show, and it was really useful to use the HUB to checklist what we need to do before, during and after the show; both in marketing and operations. The quality of people we engaged with at the show were of a high calibre and we are pleased with how our sales were and our engagement with people.”
Christina Guy, The Hotel Sheet

Visitor testimonials 2016
“I think you nailed it. I work for a building company and was very impressed with the businesses and stalls that were available to talk to. I stopped and talked to a few companies that I have since touched base with regarding quoting for our client’s new home.”
“My wife and I found this the best home and garden show that we have ever been to.”
“This was my 31st Waikato Home & Garden Show. They have all been exceptional and this year was no different. The legacy lives on in good hands. Well done to your team. See you next year.”
