Staying on KORS
Northern outdoor trade show kicks off in Kendal
Outdoor Retail Show (KORS) from July 26 to 27 July. It’s a focused show that is squarely aimed at the specialised outdoor retailer, timed to make it as relevant and timely as possible for buyers – especially those that may not make it out to Friedrichshafen. Not only will visitors be able to spend quality time with key outdoor brands, many exhibitors will be offering special incentives to those retailers who attend. Once again the KORS message emphasises time-

efficiency for KORS visitors. “For busy retailers it can be difficult to take time out, everyone acknowledges that”, says KORS spokesman Clive Allen. “However a little time investment might uncover a new brand or product that could make all the difference to trading next year. KORS offers time with suppliers at the right point in the buying calendar, and many exhibitors offer show- only pre season discounts which will repay your time and expenditure straight away.” KORS is well known
for its focused, businesslike approach and no-pressure format, allowing visitors to spend quality time with people and products. The show represents an opportunity for retailers to see collections from a host of top-flight technical outdoor brands during the summer season, ensuring KORS remains a must-attend event for a wide variety of buyers and retailers, both multiple and independent, and outdoor journalists.
