Participation at Alimentaria as international stepping stone

Soon after deciding to participate at the Alimentaria 2018, our client Singular Spirits came to us, seeing need to make their presence profitable with their own stand design.

Barcelona Export was in charge of preparing an agenda with appointments for meetings at the stand during the days of the fair, as well as of managing the contact agendas coming from Alimentaria’s matchmaking. Hence, we organized their commercial documentation and we composed the contact mails and invitations to the fair.

Six different countries were chosen for the search for importers/ distributors of spirits and liquids, such as: UK, Germany, France, Benelux, Portugal and Italy. By seizing the Matchmaking of the exhibition, we also contacted importers / distributors of alcoholic beverages in the USA, Japan and Latin America.

Singular Spirits went to the trade show Alimentaria with 25 agreed contacts spread during the 4 days of the fair.

Results of the international commercial prospection

After all, it is our pleasure to declare that the participation of Singular Spirits at the Alimentaria was as impressive as their products themselves. Their stand design and their products of great attractiveness together with Barcelona Export’s prospection efforts resulted in an event that ended up bringing 124 new contacts to our client. The majority passed by our stand and took the opportunity to taste their Gins and Vodkas. Others requested information via mail and telephone, since they could not come to Barcelona.

We accompanied our client at the stand during the days of the exhibition in order to assist them with different languages and ways of negotiating with the different countries. People from various countries dropped by to visit: Spain, Catalonia, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Germany, Guatemala, Indonesia, Italia, Kenya, Latvia, Malaysia, Malta, Portugal, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, UK, Taiwan, USA, Sweden, Singapore, Romania, Russia, Tunisia, Czech Republic, El Salvador, Switzerland and Qatar.

Additionally, we could provide an extensive data base with possible importers and distributors of international liquors and distillates. They can now start to close commercial deals for distribution.
