Modified Nationals Exhibiting Opportunities01 Feb

Exhibitor /Trade Opportunities

Thank you for taking the time to look at our event web site.

Did you know that you can exhibit/trade at the show from  as little as £150 + VAT for outside space and £225 + VAT inside the exhibition hall.  Modified Nationals is in its 11th year and has continued to grow year on year bringing thousands of new people through the gate every year.

Modified Nationals, who are we?

Modified Nationals is the UK’s largest indoor and outdoor car show dedicated to car performance and modifications. We attract both the car club element and the individual enthusiast looking for somewhere to enjoy their hobby. We endeavour to provide a safe and enjoyable venue for them to do just that. Modified Nationals saw its first ever event in 2002, since then it has grown year on year to the 22,000+ visitor event it is today.

Given the UK’s unpredictable weather we have developed the indoor facility even further, inviting companies to take advantage of the facilities on offer at the UK’s only modified car event that’s offers a large modern exhibition hall.

Target Market?

The target market is predominantly males aged 17- 30, and by keeping the entrance price down and the location central it ensures the show will attract the maximum number of visitors possible.

Take your product to your target market !

Generate sales, customer loyalty and brand

Alignment with Modified Nationals 2013 would give exhibitors the opportunity to communicate with a large targeted audience these include like minded professionals, an audience of discerning media savvy 18-35 year olds and a broader family and cultural tourist demographic. Through a regionally supported national marketing campaign a high number of Modified Nationals 2009/10 attendees were from outside the venues region.

FREE and Discounted Tickets!!

As a exhibitor, your company would be entitled to free tickets to the event for your staff and guests that you would be free to invite. These are included in the cost of your exhibitor/ trade space and are calculated on the size of the space booked.

You can download a booking form Modified trade booking form 2013 or Alternatively Exhibitor booking forms are available by Telephone 08444 15 14 13 or alternatively please contact us by Email.

Unable to attend the show this year?

We have 15,000 quality full colour souvenir event programmes printed every year. The event programme is used by each and every visitor to find out what’s on, stage times, competition entry times etc during the event. Approximately 6,000 are given away FREE to weekend visitors and the remainder sold for just £1 to day visitors. Last year our souvenir programme sold out.

The programme is retained by many of our visitors and is a cost effective way of enhancing your presence at the show as you are unable to attend in person, bringing your business to the attention of thousands of visitors. Remember these programmes go in to the hands of car enthusiasts who may already have an interest in your product or service and an advert however small might be the incentive for them to visit your website or give you that call.
