NEW RECORDS AND NEW HORIZONS!

THE ORGANISER

7,558 visitors, that is, a 13% increase compared to 2011 (equating to 6,011 unique visitors): professionals working in the promotional gift and garment domains as well those working in the personalisation fi eld, have taken up the CTCO organisers’ invitation en masse. For the 2012 event, the organisers raised the bar even higher by providing the event the biggest hall at Lyon-Eurexpo, offering an exhibition area of 20,000m2. This gamble paid off as CTCO was able to host 285 exhibitors in total, i.e. 80 more than in 2011, representing over 600 brands.

With 30% more exhibitors over a 20% larger exhibition area,CTCO visitors found themselves with more space in the exhibition hall compared to previous years. This more «spacious» exhibition, with its wide walkways, has therefore broken a new record for the 5th consecutive year.

The 656 Editions company was established in Lyon in 2001. Originally exclusively a publisher of professional magazines within the promotional products and personalisation techniques domain (with the MarquageTextile and Prom’Objet publications, followed by C!mag in 2010), 656 Editions took on organisation of trade exhibitions through the establishment of “Communiquez Textile !” in 2008.With the addition of “Communiquez Objet !”, this event - which today is known as “CTCO” - is the only European exhibition dedicated to promotional garments, gifts and personalisation and printing techniques for all products. At the same time, the company formed a partnership with European Sourcing in 2011 to create a new event type: the Premium Sourcing business meetings in Paris.

VISITOR STATISTICS

This is the total number of visits in 2012. Once again, this year CTCO is forging ahead with a 13% increase in visitor numbers. It is to be noted that compared to 2010, this growth equates to 40.33%.

A quarter of the visitors (25.74%) attended the exhibition on at least 2 days, equating to a total of 1,547 people. The visitors took time to really learn about the exhibition’s content. Their aim was not only to meet a number of suppliers, but they were also attracted by the richness of activities (technique workshops, market-related conferences, trade information, etc.).

THE LIVE CREATIVE WORKSHOPIn 2012, CTCO created a life-size personalisation workshop.

It offered visitors the unique opportunity to learn about the latest innovations and new personalisation solutions.

THE WEBSITEFuture visitors start visiting it 6 months before the exhibition opens. They use it to source all the information they require for their visit: how to pre-register, the ex-hibitors’ list and contact details, practical information about Lyon, schedule of acti-vities, news, etc.

GREEN GOODIES

Conferences, round tables, trade-related and technical workshops have been enriching CTCO since its inception, and are attended by scores of visitors each year. The programme, updated each year to ensure it remains in line with the market’s current challenges, reached a new milestone in 2012 by offering a training day on embroidery and screen printing. It was conducted with great success the day before the exhibition. Perfectly complementing the workshops organised over the three exhibition days, this programme will be enhanced in 2013, and expanded to include other techniques.

The «Goodies d’Or» competition for the best ad-vertising products of the year assumed the identity of «Green Goodies» in 2012. The display set up at the centre of the exhibition showcased all the latest «eco-friendly» gift and garment trends. Almost 300 visitors got caught up in the game to nominate and vote for their favourite products in each category.

+60%This is the percentage increase in the number of exhibitors since the launch of the promotional gifts section at CTCO in 2010.

THE SERVICE PROVIDER VILLAGE This year, CTCO launched the «service provider village», an area dedicated to service providers specialised in personalisation. Retail visitors were able to source new partners there, to ensure their needs were fully met.

INTERNATIONAL PAVILIONS The Spanish Aimfap and Dutch pavilions enabled visitors to diversify their sourcing, establishing contact with suppliers of totally new items in France. CTCO aims not only to bring all the market leaders to retailers, but also to ensure that they have the opportunity to meet new suppliers from foreign countries, who bring something really different to the market.

2012 INNOVATION

A WORD FROM THE ORGANISER“CTCO has been able to fi nd a winning formula to attract the entire market, on a key date in the year. The exhibition has developed even further in 2012, in terms of both the number of exhibitors and visitors, and this is an indication that our strategy is working.What’s more, year on year with its “Print” dimension, CTCO has been opening up towards other techniques. In 2012, the NOVA project has enabled us to offer a cross-domain view of decorating, which encompasses all techniques, to respond to the ever more diverse needs of advertisers today.From now on, rather than denying the existence of the cross-domain relevance between the promotional sector and that of personalisation, on which our approach is based, it’s now time to develop and clarify CTCO’s positioning. The event that we are planning for 2013 will be even more closely targeted, exploring the business opportunities relative to each trade community”.
