MK Job Show
Due the success of the first MK Job Show held in January at Milton Keynes shopping centre where 66,000 people visited the show in one day. Every exhibitor which included Easyjet, Mercedes, VW Group, Travis Perkin PLC, Nationwide, Sainsbury, Fossil, Santander, Monarch, Allianz, NHS, HMGCC, Arla, Home Retail Group and lots of others have re-booked the September show.
As the profile of a visitor to a shopping centre is mainly ABC1 it is a great place to find high calibre candidates. Add to this the large catchment areas and massive foot fall we have decided to hold two more in the UKs premiere shopping centres.
The natural footfall estimated at each venue over these two days is in brackets for each show.
The London Job show at Westfield W12 on 10 & 11 October 2014 (198,000).
The MK Job show again 20 & 21 Sept 2014 (146,000).
In addition to the natural foot fall at these two events we have an intensive marketing campaign aimed at job seekers.
This includes 100,000 copies of our own Job Show Newspaper distributed from over 500 busy sites including supermarkets, coffee bars, stations libraries and other public places.
The events are split into Zones which include
Finance & Professional Services Zone
Advanced Engineering & IT Zone
Digital & Social Media Zone
Health & Social Care Zone
Retail & Sales Zone
Head Office Zone
Training Zone
Building & Construction Zone
Leisure & Hospitality Zone
General Zone
You can book a 3 metre x 2 metre stand up to 5 metre x 9 metre stand.
There are also some zone sponsorship packages available.
