Intersport’s UK Q2 2011 show has been hailed a success by the retailer, which said over 91 per cent of its membership attended the two-day tennis, cricket, and fitness event along with a further nine specially invited prospective members.
As well as the 47 suppliers in attendance, the show also saw the launch of Intersport’s quarterly consumer brochures, the first of which will be available in early 2011.
Members were given details of the brands and products to be featured in both the Q1 and Q2 brochures, which will be used in conjunction with the Intersport Reward Club Card scheme.
Alan Shearer made a special appearance at the annual awards dinner, which attracted 200 guests. As well as taking part in a Q&A and signing session, Shearer autographed a pair of football boots that were auctioned for £960 for the Alan Shearer Foundation.
Award winners included adidas, for best apparel supplier, ASICS, for best footwear supplier, and Babolat, for best equipment supplier. Nike took the supplier of the year prize, while Lorraine Newark from Unicorn was named best salesperson.
“The Intersport shows are getting better and better each time, which is reflected in the high attendance from both members and suppliers,” says Barry Mellis, Intersport’s general manager.
“We feel the show was a success, the floor seemed to have a real buzz and even in tough times all seemed upbeat, optimistic and raring to go.
“The evening with Alan Shearer was a tremendous success, thoroughly entertaining, honest and a true gent – the highlight of the show.”
