WHAT IS THE LAUNCH GALLERY?

Located at the centre of the show, the Launch Gallery provides new companies with the platform to launch and promote their products to the retail buyer.

 

“I love going to the Scottish Trade Fair as I know it is well-curated, and I will always find something new and exciting -- usually in the Launch Gallery.”

Becky Walker, The Green Gallery

ELIGIBILITY

Companies must have been trading for no more than one (1) year prior to show opening and must be able to provide evidence of this upon request. Selection is based on commercial appeal, original design, price, packaging, and balance of product in the show.

If selected, companies may participate twice in the Launch Gallery; this is restricted to sequential shows: Spring/Autumn, or Autumn/Spring. Companies may not exhibit in Spring/Spring or Autumn/Autumn. Companies that have previously exhibited in the main body of the show may not exhibit in the Launch Gallery.

FEATURES

Best Product Awards

Held annually, the Best Product Awards are open entry for all exhibitors and one category is specifically designated for Launch Gallery companies. Winners report a surge in interest in their products at the show, and the awards add statute and weight to their marketing campaigns throughout the year.

 

Nessie’s Den

Our version of Dragon’s Den takes place in our seminar theatre and offers select Launch Gallery participants the opportunity to pitch their products to a panel of three experienced trade buyers. This is an invaluable opportunity to gain feedback and advice on products from seasoned trade retailers and possibly the chance to secure an order or two.
