“In-Store Asia has been a good platform for us to showcase our product range to our customers. It also gave us an opportunity to introduce our customers to our new products. It is most of the times very difficult for us to carry and show actual product samples to customers at their offices and In-Store Asia provides us an opportunity and the right ambience to show them the real products. Also a lot of new customers come to us and understand the need to have an innovative sign solution and look at innovation in LED lighting at Retail.”

“In-Store Asia gives an excellent platform to Costra – Retail Solution Providers in showcasing our mettle as the leaders in the relevant segment. In-Store Asia has a retention rate which is highly commendable, as people keep coming back year after year. In-Store Asia has been the vista to Costra – Retail Solution Providers by displaying our plethora of activities. In-Store Asia has been the trend setter highlighting what's “in” and “out” in the retail sector. In-Store Asia is “the complete exhibit” which is manifested in the fact that it lays out everything under the sun-featuring the who's who & what's what.”

Parvati Krishnamurthy, CEO- Costra Advertising India Pvt. Ltd.

“In-Store Asia has, year on year, provided thought leadership to the entire Graphics Industry. For 3M it has been an event to showcase new technology, learn from the industry and build useful networks with partners.”

Debasish Gupta - Commercial Graphics, 3M India Limited

“In-Store Asia is a perfect platform to meet one and all from the retail world. It has also helped a great deal in fostering a very healthy relationship amongst the shopfitters in the industry.”

Murali Balgar, Director- Disha Retail Fixtures

"It's a wonderful platform to showcase your products. We got huge breakthrough after we participated in last year's event in Mumbai. We are very thankful to the organisers VJ Media Works who made this possible. In our professional career we have come across so many exhibitions, but this one is a cut above the rest"

Sairam Thiagaraja, Director-Sab Creations

“In-Store Asia to me was a success from the point of view of promoting design excellence. It brings design and manufacturers to one common platform; it is a well planned and focused event that would help the sourcing division of the stepping up Indian retail.  Setting itself in a different niche by concentrating on helping the brands effectively promote their products by introducing them to the latest in ‘In-store’ communication tools. It’s a great platform for knowledge sharing and would surely help escalate the growth of the infant that is the Indian retail industry. I hope they can keep up the high standards they’ve set for themselves over the last few events.”

Huzefa Merchant – Partner. Safe Enterprises

"This is the first time that we took part in In-Store Asia and aren’t we glad we did so!

 For sure, this exhibition brought together, not only the best producers in the country, but also the right people, who matter to us most. We could meet all the decision makers under one roof over 3 days - which would have otherwise taken us weeks - if not months. We could also showcase our products to all these bigwigs, all of whom would not have otherwise had a chance to see our products and capabilities. It was worth the time and money spent for this exhibition - A BIG THANK YOU."

Shekar Agaram – General Manager, Featherlite India.

“At the outset, we would like to thank you and team In-Store Asia 2008 for the co-operation and all the services rendered during the recent show at Mumbai. We enjoyed participating in the show and sincerely believe that the platform provided to us will benefit us now and in the future. The show has generally enabled our ilk to meet the kind of target audience for our products and services and to exchange thoughts and ideas with our brethren from the retail industry. We would also like to point out that the turnout of visitors to our stall was generally higher in number and of better quality compared to the last show in New Delhi. The conference and panel discussions have become a routine but sometime we feel that the ‘real issues’ and the ‘way forward’ are generally skipped over in order to create a ‘feel good’ atmosphere.

Also, most of the time we feel that the ‘real’ decision makers (most of the visitors are from the middle & junior levels) do not visit / spend enough time with the exhibitors to have mutually fruitful discussions which could be beneficial to all concerned.”

N Ramesh Gopalakrishnan - Business head, Dovetail Furniture Pvt. Ltd.

“In-Store Asia has been a major contributor towards organizing the shopfitting industry and creating a common platform to showcase new innovations in products and services and to discuss issues and find resolutions. From a business perspective we have definitely benefited by participating in this event and look forward to the same every year. You have our best wishes and full support for making this event a bigger success year on year.”

Deepak Manik - Director, Retail Detailz (India) Pvt. Ltd.

“It is indeed a privilege to be part of In-Store Asia (formerly known as POP Asia) since its inception and find it one of the best platforms to showcase our products. We even launched our large format Digital Scrollers in 2006 Exhibition and our new range of indoor Trivisions in 2008 Expo in Mumbai. Being an industry specific exhibition, it provides a meeting ground for manufacturers, retailers, and buyers. We find a lot of corporate clients visiting the show and this has resulted in increased business opportunities.  With each succeeding year, In-store Asia has been growing in stature and can be compared with any of the international shows. Especially the 2008 Show has set a new standard in the industry.”

N.Badri Narayanan - Managing Director, Sinex Systems Pvt. Ltd

“It was a better show compared to the previous ones. It was a well thought of exhibition layout and well organized and clean & neat. May be because of single floor plate unlike other previous shows visitors flow was more comfortable and they could able to interact with all participants effectively. Over all stall design by the participants also gave the look what it is needed for the show. All the best for the future shows. We keep continuing to be with you in future as we feel very comfortable and proud to be a part of it. Few suggestions for the future shows: 1. Group discussions should have little more depth in the subject and to be more interactive. 2. When announcing the nominees for the award you could mention the design co. name so that they could get some mileage out of it. 3. Last and very important, you can keep the foreign design agency separate in the categories. Even though Indian design agencies have to compete with the best, naturally Indian design agencies can never compete in this field at least at this juncture. Let Indian design agency get first place in their section so that they are encouraged and your support in this field will be well contributed.”
