Hi all,

For those of you (and I doubt there are many) who have not been to IFSEC at the NEC IFSEC PAGE.

For those of you that have:

1. Is it worth going to?

2. Do you think it influences purchasing decisions?

3. How important is it for a manufacturer to attend?

I would love to hear your responses, we will be there this year on stand V32 in the intruder village. Come and have a coffee .

Thanks for your considered replies.

Regards,

Matt

Concept Smoke Screen

1 yes

2. yes

3 critical, depending upon the equipment shown.

4. in my opinion you mssed number 4 which would be to keep in touch with existing customers and show where we/you are today.

as above.

I come from coldshire and if you are not participating in IFSEC i will never hear about you if no one here tell me.

1 Depends, last year we like a lot of security manufacturers never bothered. IFSEC is now a showcase for CCTV. This year will be different I think due to the launch of EN intruder.

2. yes but remember! IFSEC is large, to large to do in one day. I personally speed walk as much as possible and only stop when I see NEW on the stand, most of this is actually not new but is my way to sort wheat from chaff. I never ware my badge or a suit, telling people I have a day off from work, this way you are not important enough to be delayed.

3. Not so critical last year. Absolutely this year for electronic alarms.

4. “Number 4 which would be to keep in touch with existing customers and show where we/you are today”. Agreed

Probably would not normally bother due to the distance, but with EN50131 etc, we'll be there & looking forward to seeing your stand Matt.

4.

as i said last year if they put the show on so as it overlapped a weekend instead of weekdays then they would get more engineers going. The only way i can go is to use up a valuable holiday day and as i only have 20 (- 3 for Xmas) each day is valuable.

Also i remember when it was mainly alarms with an cctv village nowadays its mainly cctv with a intruder presence !!
