The excellent debut of South Hunting Show in Marcianise he convinced everyone: the demand for a structured salon for the world of hunting and sport shooting is solid and capable of fully satisfying the expectations of companies. In the same way, the chosen location convinced everyone. The Centro Il Tarì in Marcianise is ideal for its central location and for the quality of its welcome and services. Below are reviews and suggestions collected at the end of Hunting Show Sud 2018 among a sample of exhibitors present.
Paolo Riccioni, Area Manager Italy Benelli
"South Hunting Show it turned out to be an excellent initiative, located in a strategic geographical area and in a well-served location, equipped with excellent services and logistics. We will definitely be back next year because all the conditions are in place for others in strong development to follow the debut edition. In the visitors we noticed a question of real interest for the product, beyond the normal curiosity. The visiting hunters showed concreteness and preparation and therefore for an exhibitor it is the ideal condition. We have embraced the project also because it is complete with firing lines, essential to guarantee those who invest in a new hunting weapon. We are confident that this fair is destined to grow ”.
Samuel Brandani, Area Manager Italy Franchi
“The effort paid off. The project evolved quickly and in a short time, but South Hunting Show has produced tangible results. We found an excellent response from visitors, facilitated by the fact that the fair took place in the heart of an area where hunting is very popular. The timing is also happy. On the demand side, we have seen strong demand on the 'smooth barrel'. I add another positive opinion on the location, truly qualitative in every respect. For us too, the shooting lines were a good choice, so as to allow a closer contact with the hunter ”.
Joseph Rizzini
“A happy debut also for us at Rizzini. The two days of Marcianise give us confidence in the development of South Hunting Show. We have detected a demand for small calibers, which is a direction of the market, with hunters adding such a solution to their availability of shotguns. For us, the Italian market remains important and being able to oversee it, in addition to commercial activity, even where there were no trade fair proposals of this level, was important. Furthermore, a lot of curiosity about the technological aspects, the desire to know innovations and also be able to experiment with them is a decisive factor. We add the warmth and friendliness of the visitors, who here in the South are truly unique. I see a positive future for this fair, completed by an ideal location, well organized and easily reachable ”.
Angelo Del Porto, Canicom
“I have always believed in a strong fair in Southern Italy. South Hunting Show it is finally, after other attempts, the right card to consolidate and develop. The first edition has completely satisfied us and I believe that those who have been missing will have some regret. We have proposed our range of electronic accessories, optics and what accompanies the hunter. The visitors showed great interest and desire to know the opportunities on the market ”.
Pierantonio Poli
“I admit, I was skeptical. And now I admit: I changed my mind. Many people came here in Marcianise with a lot of interest in hunting weapons and eager to meet the production of the great gunsmiths. I am happy to have joined and we will certainly accompany the fair in its development. I add the organizational quality of IEG, well known and Il Tarì really well structured and organized. We too have found interest in small arms, 20 and 410, accompanied by the curiosity of those who want to know and get informed. I would not underestimate the spending power of this public, which is also a surprising factor for me ”.
Francesco Gazzetta, Italy Flakes Sales Area
“Right location in a receptive basin, almost unexpected influx of visitors and opportunities for shooting lines. Our positive judgment is grafted onto these three aspects. Like any debut, something needs to be fixed, but the substantial balance is to have witnessed an event that has the potential to grow a lot. Now we need to reach an ever higher number of potential visitors. The interest from us has focused on rifle 'smooth barrel' and precision shooting. I am stepping stone to underline the importance of firing lines: it is an important opportunity and should also be encouraged to favor the first approach to hunting weapons. There were very high peaks of turnout, then moments of calm, it is a factor to work on, but basically there is optimism about the potential for South Hunting Show here in Marcianise ”.
Philip Trabaldo
“Positive fair. Several elements contributed to it: accessibility, quality of the exhibition venue and organization. We have had visits mainly from Southern Italy, but also several visitors from the North. For us it represented an excellent opportunity to make our commercial presence in these territories more effective and we believe it is important to continue in this experience in the future. There is demand for a quality product like ours. The nice thing is that this is a question perhaps not accustomed to this standard, but willing to listen, to understand the reason for a higher cost because clothing like the one in our catalog is high-end and therefore the information that must be transferred they value it to motivate price differences ".
Sauro Bazzani, BS Planet
“I was genuinely surprised by Hunting Show Sud. To be a first edition I am really satisfied, we have done a great job and cultivated new relationships. The structure is magnificent, the organization impeccable and all the conditions are in place for it to become the only major fair in Southern Italy in our sector. Here hunting with a pointing dog is prevalent, it is in the culture of southern hunters and this satisfies me in a particular way ".
Paolo Paladini, Lugano Tour Operator
“Hunting is worth a lot here and we felt it. We have been bringing Italian hunters all over the world for 30 years and we have many customers in these territories. The hunting of woodcocks and quail with the dog is prevalent. We met traditional clients and someone we had lost sight of. Our opinion is positive, the setting is excellent and it is not difficult to predict a strong growth of South Hunting Show. We go home satisfied ”.
