Verdict on SIMA Autumn 2010
SIMA: a trade fair that never fails
SIMA AUTUMN SPECIAL has proved to be a resounding success. The number of contacts made and deals closed at the stands has more than met the expectations of the exhibitors, confirming that SIMA continues to achieve excellent results, year after year.
“At SIMA we always hit our target number of visitors. It’s a trade fair that never fails. At one point on the Saturday the queue of people waiting in line even stretched round the corner of the stand. As for as the general public, the visitors were buyers, who on occasions went straight from the stand to our commercial offices to look at property offers.”
José Ramón Prol, Head of Sales at Pryconsa
“SIMA Autumn has turned out to be even better than the May trade fair, which we found to be very good. The public has really set the standard and our stand was completely full right from when they opened the doors of the fair.”
Carmen Ruisánchez, Commercial Director at Adrisa.
"In the first two days alone we had more than 700 visitors. The stand was packed out. And the fact is that people were genuinely looking for property.”
Isaac Alonso, Head of Sales at the Madrid office of BBVA Inmobiliaria.
"SIMA Autumn Special has turned out excellent results. In fact, in the first two days of the fair alone, we finalized seven sales, quite a few reservations and numerous property viewings for next week. We really reaped the benefits of the fair, and hope to continue to do so in the short and medium term.”
Rafael Valderrábano, Director at Básico Homes
"We were surprised by the shift conpared to previous months. The visitors at this fair have come with a different approach altogether. This time they weren’t just looking to pick up a bargain, like in the past two years. Now their budgets were much more realistic relative to the market.”
Laura Crespo, Marketing Director at Gilmar.
"We are very happy as the contacts we have made at the fair have given us a couple of months of work”.
Iván Ruiz, Head of Marketing at Quarto Inmobiliaria
"We’ve had lots of visits and the level of interest in our properties was very high, so we expect the first property bookings to materialize in the next few days. This visiting public knows what it wants and had got itself informed in advance online, and only comes to the fair to tie up any loose ends.”
Gonzalo Márquez, Head of the Residential Division at Promhogar.
"We should emphasise the huge number of contacts made and viewings arranged in the three days of the fair, especially as the property we promote is in Estepona. Compared with the situation from a year ago, we are now beginning to notice an improvement in the intention to purchase.”
Oscar Almau. Commercial Director at Valle Romano.
