Fair Publicity
• A printed colour catalogue including your details (inclusion in this is optional) and a map of the building will be available on the door to visitors.
• A digital version of the catalogue will be emailed to our digital database and it will also be included on the Landmark website and sent to you. A digital invite emailed to you and to our digital database and available to download from our website.
• The fair will be featured in the Landmark’s seasonal events leaflet with 20,000 copies produced and distributed via direct mail, other venues etc. This listing will also appear in the What’s On section of our website and be publicised via email to the Landmark’s significant list of subscribers (13k).
• 20,000 flyers distributed around greater London with specific reference to target markets, galleries etc., and door-to-door delivery within the local area.
• AA Road signs.
• Advertisements or editorials in local magazines and newspapers.
• Advertisements in a range of creative magazines and periodicals.
• Posters, banners & flyers in the local vicinity.
• Online advertising/listings with known London and local services such as A-N, TimeOut, ArtRabbit, Arts News (Arts Council), Galleries, news outlets etc...
• A significant social media presence, including Facebook & Instagram.
You, as an exhibitor, are also expected to publicise the event as much as possible. We provide you with both physical and digital flyers and posters; plus, a variety of social media imagery to use in your own marketing and publicity.
Application Procedure
- Please refer to the stand plan PDF to select your preferred position within the fair. Then fill out the application form, having read all the terms and conditions below. If you are selected, you will be informed shortly after the submission deadline; you will then be sent an invoice. Please don’t send any payment before you have been allocated a stand.
- Please itemise all types of products on the application form. For example, if your main discipline is ceramics, then I need to know if you are going to be selling cards and/or jewellery as well. You will only be able to exhibit & sell items listed on your application form, so please be thorough.
- The Landmark will start to allocate stands to successful applicants by the middle of July; so, the sooner you apply, the better chance you will have of getting the stand you want. The online application form will remain open until the deadline marked on the form or until we’re fully booked – whichever comes first.
- All successful applicants will receive information and advice, plus digital versions of posters, flyers, opening night invites and social media assets. We are always happy to supply exhibitors with physical flyers too and printed posters on request until they run out, for which you will need to arrange collection or ask for them to be posted to you.
- You will also receive an 'on the door' pack when you arrive to set up your stand, which will include exhibitor badges, a free wine ticket, and information about catering, sales, tickets and further instructions. Your stand will be labelled with its number and the name you nominate in advance.
- Please ensure you have read all of the Terms & Conditions before filling out the application form
