THE retirement show visitors are Your Customers
In the United Kingdom the grey market...

  • Is the fastest growing sector of the population
  • Already includes more than 20 milllion mature people
  • Has over £175 billion of disposable income
  • Had an estimated worth of £500 million at last year's Retirement Show alone.

These people are your customers! With such vast spending power the over 50s outshop those under 50 by 20% every day of the week. All this means that the visitors to The Retirement Show are a captive audience who are ready to spend - with you!

  • More than half of the visitors to last year's show were in the highest ABC1 social classes
  • Nearly two thirds were already retired and looking for information
  • Over 50% of those who came said they would visit the show again
  • Another 25% have a positive interest in returning to the show
  • The average age of visitors was 59 years old.

These are visitors who have an active interest in the services and products your company is providing.

 

testimonials
Some of the exhibitors at last year's show made the following comments (for full exhibitor comments please click here):

"Well done, and I think the show went very well indeed - administratively your team served us well and I got all that I paid for. Attendances seemed good and we were busy. Overall we enjoyed it and felt it to be very worthwhile." Jeremy Clare, Whatever Next...?

"We were very pleased with the show and would go as far as to say it was the best show we've done. We were too busy to spend as much time as we would have liked visiting the other stands and attractions. Thanks again for a great show." Philip Hann, Retirement Today Magazine

"A big ‘thank you’ from all of us! The organisation ran like clockwork and we came away from the show planning for next year." Caroline Hull, Girlings

"This was by far the most fulfilling event I have been to - probably because of the target audience of people in the 50 plus age range. The panel discussion I took part in was extremely productive for us. We were understaffed on the stand to cope with the volume of enquiries. We will definitely go again to this event in London, and to the events in Manchester and Glasgow." Malcolm McLean, Chief Executive, The Pensions Advisory Service

"Well done for staging an excellent show, we enjoyed ourselves and were pleased with the volume and quality of visitors interested in our products."
Simon Martyr, Wentworth Wooden Jigsaws

"The Show was great!  I want to be in next year's show in London. We had a steady stream of visitors and it was certainly worth the investment for us.  I would be very happy for you to quote me on being a satisfied stand holder.  Feedback from visitors about the show was also very positive.  Very good, very interesting, very useful." Lynne Nesbit, The Brooke

"It was truly a great exhibition and I think the two day event was a success. Keep us in mind for any future events." Tamara Matthews, Bowel Cancer UK

"I am happy to say that we found the whole event to be worthwhile. I will certainly be considering next year's show in London. The organisation was very good. I feel that visitors to this kind of show benefit from having smaller organisations exhibiting as the welcome and overall service they receive is often far more personal." Tim Botting, Premier Cruise Club

"We thought the show was a great way to show the public our service. We were very impressed with the show. We will definitely be attending the event in Manchester." Pat Stubbs, Pension Tracing Team
