10 Reasons You Must Attend Beauty Expo Australia!

Our premier event for aesthetics professionals is preparing for its best year yet as it returns to its Darling Harbour home in Sydney’s new International Convention Centre (ICCS), August 26-27.

Beauty Expo Australia is the largest gathering of brands and suppliers in the Australian beauty industry, as well as inspiring visitors with creative education and live demonstrations.

“True to its calling, Beauty Expo Australia will once again be the unmatched hub to explore the latest trends and innovations in the industry,” says Event Director Julia Erben.

“We know how important it is to our visitors that Beauty Expo creates a seamless, enjoyable experience, which is why we are thrilled to be back in Darling Harbour this year at a world-class venue.

“We know our exhibitors are also very excited to be where all the action is, just a stone’s throw from Sydney’s CBD.”

It might otherwise not be possible to invest in samples of new stock or equipment unless at a good show that has lots of exhibitors.

Just remember to pack your flats – heels are a no-no for something like this!

If you want to be confident that you’re ahead of the trends and stocking the right brands, you need to be at a major trade show such as Expo.

Here you can source and experience the latest beauty products, treatments, innovations and equipment.

Shopping around gives you confidence in the brands you already work – or to encourage you to swap if you’re not.

10 REASONS TO ROLL UP

  1. Gain knowledge and exposure to new trends, products and resources that are available for your salon, spa or clinic. Expo is a great way to learn about what’s hot, what’s fading and what your biz needs to have or do right now.
  2. Stimulate new ideas and creative ways to support your business despite fluctuations in the economy and other extenuating influences.
  3. Meet other business owners, retailers and vendors who you can lean on, learn from and possibly gain business from that you would not otherwise have had the chance to meet had you not attended Expo.
  4. Learn what your competition is up to without having to go to great lengths! Ask yourself how do you compare with your competition and evaluate your strengths and weaknesses to best support your own efforts.
  5. Expose yourself to media attending the trade shows so they know about your business. Make sure your business stands out so that they will remember you.
  6. Generate strategic alliances and most importantly, potential customers. Collect business cards, refer to the directory and use all other outlets provided to you during Expo to create a list of contacts for your files – and your business outreach.
  7. Participate in educational seminars, networking events and surveys that only take place at Expo and will expose you to new people, new business and new ways of thinking for your business success.
  8. Get answers right away, since Expo allows for immediate communication and easy, accessible outlets of exposure to brands.
  9. Become better educated so that you can better support your clients and customers by utilising all the resources Expo offers.
  10. Have fun. Yes – have fun. Nothing gives a business owner and his/her team more energy than a good time while working to keep everyone motivated to want to work more!
