EuroShop app and online platform
EuroShop provides an app and online platform with exhibitor search and the programme. The tools help with planning the visit, but retailers’ store-planning and IT leaders don’t appear in any exportable list.
How to prospect EuroShop
- Choose your retail verticals (grocery, fashion, DIY, consumer electronics).
- List retailers by store count and region.
- Identify store-planning, operations and IT leaders at each.
- Add store-design agencies and architects who influence fit-out projects.
- Use the three-year gap. Retailers save up projects for EuroShop, so reach them early.
