Decision
Based on your responses, here's how Trendz/showUP 2026 aligns with your goals. The event brings together over 500 brands across home, flowers, gifts, and lifestyle – a unique opportunity in the Benelux retail calendar.
QUESTION 1 OF 8
What is your primary business focus?
Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.
visit
If your primary goal is to discover new products, compare suppliers, and place orders for the upcoming season, visiting is the clear choice. The event's order-writing culture means you can secure inventory directly.
Best for
Retailers, buyers, and store owners looking to source new collections, place orders, and gain inspiration for the autumn/winter season. Ideal for gift shops, home decor stores, flower shops, garden centres, jewellery retailers, and hospitality buyers.
Min. budget
$50.00
Timeline
Plan at least one full day (9:00–17:00) to cover the hall. Two days recommended to explore all brands and attend trend talks.
Risks
Crowds may be heavy on the first day (Sunday) – consider Monday for a more focused buying experience.
If you don't have a clear buying list, you may feel overwhelmed by the variety.
exhibit
If you have a strong product range, a clear target audience among the event's visitor profile (gift stores, concept stores, garden centres, etc.), and the budget to invest in a professional stand, exhibiting can deliver excellent ROI through direct orders and long-term partnerships.
Best for
Brands, designers, wholesalers, and suppliers in home decor, gifts, flowers, lifestyle, jewellery, stationery, kitchenware, and kids' products. Particularly suitable for companies seeking to expand their retail distribution in the Benelux.
Min. budget
$1,500.00
Timeline
Book your stand at least 3–4 months in advance to secure a good location. Prepare your booth, product displays, and marketing materials 2 months ahead. Use the Easyfairs NL app to connect with pre-registered visitors before the event.
Risks
Exhibiting requires a significant upfront investment (stand, travel, logistics).
Competition is high – over 500 brands will be present, so differentiation is key.
If you're a new or small brand, you may need to work harder to stand out, though the organiser offers a starter package.
skip
If your business model does not depend on in-person retail purchasing, or if you have already secured your supply chain for the season, skipping this edition may be a prudent decision. Consider following the event's digital content or post-show reports to stay informed.
Best for
Businesses not directly aligned with the event's core industries, or those with very limited budgets or conflicting schedules. Also for those who primarily sell online and do not rely on physical trade fairs.
Timeline
Not applicable – skip or postpone to a future edition.
Risks
You may miss out on key market trends and competitor intelligence.
You could lose potential orders to competitors who exhibit or visit.
