FEEDBACK 2004
The 2004 Natural and Organic Products Exhibition laid an excellent
foundation for the ongoing promotion of this increasingly important
sector of the food industry. Woolworths experiences the growth of
organic foods on a daily basis. Certainly our customers know what they want.
So, it was particularly pleasing for us to see retailers, manufacturers
and farmers all coming together and making it very clear that they
all regard organic products as a serious industry with enormous potential
for expansion and wide-reaching environmental and social benefits.
Richard Eskinazi, Marketing Executive, Woolworths Foods.
“The show was advertised to the right kind of people, which made the three
days of standing there worth it, because the people who attended wanted to
gain more knowledge about the natural and organic industry. Altogether, Mary-Ann’s
had a great time and benefited from being on the show. We will definitely
have a stand next year.”
Mary-Ann Shearer, owner, Mary-Ann’s
“A BIG THANK YOU to all at SE Shows & Events for a highly successful
exhibition this past weekend. The level of organisation and professionalism is
greatly appreciated. It was a very successful three days for both Johnson International
and our partners and I believe, for the organic industry as a whole. Everybody
to whom I spoke expressed similar sentiments. Please remember to send me the
booking details for next year’s expo.”
Stephen Barrow, Marketing and Sales Manager, Johnson Int.
“ The organisation was superb, the pre-show advertising ‘in your
face’ and the quality of visitors what we had hoped for. My expectations
for your first show were sceptical – I could not have been more wrong.
The Expo was powerful”.
Dorea Wessel, Managing Director, The Good Food Company
“Thank you for an extremely well organised exhibition – the mark
of a slick organisation is when we exhibitors are never aware of the snags”.
Roland Kroon, Camdeboo Enterprises, Owner and organic sheep
and beef farmer.
“ You certainly ran a superb expo”.
Sue Jackson - Chairperson of OAASA.
“We would like to thank you for a wonderful exhibition. Thanks for all
your effort and energy. Looking forward to the next one. It was a fantastic opportunity
to expose our recently published book – sales were outstanding”.
Alan and Thomas, partners, Lindros.
“A big thank you for the most fantastic first Natural & Organic Products
Exhibition in Sandton. This philosophy and way of life is my passion. We were
so pleased with the response we had. Yes we would love to exhibit next year in
Cape Town”.
Michelle Mountain, Partner, Strawberry International.
“The show was astounding for us and your team was first class”.
Lorraine Thornton, Director, AB Wellness.
“For a first time show the response was great. Hopefully the show and the
industry will grow over the next couple of years”
Alathea Minnaar, Marketing Manager, Seagro division of Premier
Fishing
“Thanx for organising such a fabulous event – we definitely need
more of these to raise awareness and introduce everyone to the different options
in healthcare”.
Dr Catherine Morris, Medical Advisor, Herbology
“Never have we encountered such a wonderful bunch of people as in this
Natural & Organic industry. The show was a profound success for us and this
was an incredible launch for our new JOJO Africa range”.
Nico Els and Elmare Lombard, owners, JOJO Africa.
“I can honestly say that it was the best-organised show I’ve been
to. I think it attracted the perfect target market for my brand. Basically, I
was impressed and I’ve been to a lot of shows”.
Kirsten Hadley Grave, Marketing Manager, Good Hope International
Beverages
“The show was great, I think we had a great response to our product and
will be shipping off a whole lot of wine real soon – thanks again for your
assistance”.
Tanya Ammann, Rozendal Wines
“An amazing Show! We have never experienced a show like it. We received
an incredible response to our training video for the home grower – it proved
to be an audience of like-minded people. A pity you do not have this show 2x
per year – Sandton and Cape Town”.
Miranda Sutton, CEO, Ecocircle
“We’ve touched base with more than 20 new retailers that we met on
the show about growing business, promoting, marketing and branding – you
are our gods right now!”
Monique Butterworth, Brand Manager, Noogy Foods
“A super show - well advertised - congratulations. Commercial organic contact
abounded. It was a showcase of South African creativity and entrepreneurship.
You have done organics proud”.
Jenny Slabber, General Manager, Talborne Products.
“It was great to work with all of you, and thank you for making the experience
a memorable one!”.
Addi Lang, Owner, Return To Roots.
