PRODUCT IMAGES
Email at least two clean high-resolution photos of your products as soon as possible (no later than 30 April 2023)
You’re welcome to supply as many high-resolution, good quality images of your products as you wish. The event organisers will select the best images to suit the marketing & promotional spaces. Do not supply images embedded on a word doc file or montaged images.
Failure to provide high resolution photographs may mean your stall / products may not be promoted via social media posts, promotions, advertisements etc, and your website listing will show without imagery. Images supplied late and/or once artwork has been designed or the event promotions begin cannot be guaranteed to be updated or included into further marketing materials.
We look forward to working with you and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards
Rozanne de Wild,
Event Manager
