Finally an update from METS - better a little late than never!

So the box pr team returned from METS buzzing from the postive vibes around Amsterdam, so what did we get up to whilst we were there........

DAY 1 -  Box PR party day!

With clients at either end of the show, Day 1 was certainly fitness day as we ensured we touched base with our cleints exhibiting at the show. Before we knew it, it was 5pm - party time! Box pr hosted a networking and drinks party, kindly with the support of Ocean Yacht Systems.  The party was well attended and useful connections were made with our clients Livewire Connections, Clements Marine, Baltic Lifejackets, Marine and Industrial Transmissions, Global Green, Marine and Hydraulics, Superyacht Doc and Ultimate Sails. It would seem people are attacted to a crowd and within moments the stand was full, World Famous Round the World Sailor Mike Golding was captured on camera!

DAY 2 - Client day

Box pr have looked after the Baltic lifejacket brand for the past 4 years and METS was the start of the social media strategy, follow them on Facebook! Their stand at METS was rarely a quiet place a sign of how their products continue to be in high demand.  New products launched at METS 2010 were the Mascot Pet Buoyancy Aid, the Baltic Surf & Turf, the GP150,  the Baltic Trip All Purpose Buoyancy Aid and the X2 Specialist buoyancy Aid.

Clements Marine, completed the final stage of their re-branding process with a new folder and banner printed just days before the truck headed out to Amsterdam. The stand was looking comepletely revived, fresh and based around their product - propellers.

Global Green are a new client for box pr in METS 2010. They produce produces innovative marine cleaning products that are eco-friendly, biodegradable and non-toxic. At METS they were launching their surface preparation solution and promoting their Teak Cleaner which is proving very popular amoungst crew and those who maintain Superyachts.  Lyndon also took part in the Global Superyacht Forum.

DAY 3 - Final Day

The great thing about METS is you have these 11 massive halls, and everywhere you go you see someone you know.  There is always the danger that you actually spend a significant amount of time talking to someone you work 5mins away from home back in Hampshire UK, rather than new friends you have made based on the otherside of the world - but whoever you catch up with evey discussion provides future opportunities for you. 

Box pr had a really successful show and as always there is more to come from the team and our orange box!
