What is my E-Zone?
Your E-zone is essential to exhibiting with Home & Gift. This is the connecter between your brand and our website. It also a tool for accessing additional marketing material, exhibitor badges and useful information. Buyers often browse the site before coming to the show, so it’s important to make your E-zone the best you can!
What should I do first?
Complete your ‘Edit your Profile’ first. Add your product categories and upload any brochures/PDFs if you have them. Buyers will see the cover image under your profile on A-Z brands and the Logo will be seen on your personal page. Once you’re done with this, complete the ‘Add your Products’ section.
Image upload advice: The best size for images is 1000px X 1000px and a maximum file size of 3MB. Images uploaded at any other dimension will be centred and cropped. Please upload images in either RGB, JPEG or Gif format.
*Please note, if you make any changes but the website doesn't appear to have updated, try hitting ctrl + F5 on a PC or cmd + shift + R on a Mac to refresh the page.
What does each section contain?
Edit your Profile: Steps to create your online profile visible on the A-Z Brands section of our website. Make sure to fill this out so buyers can see your presence before the show opens. Add any news, PDF's or videos you would like to include.
Exhibitor Marketing Tools: This includes the email to send your lifestyle/product images to. Make sure you send some so they can be used in promotional material! This is an easy and free of cost way to get your products in front of buyers. You can also fill out the blog feature to send to us for the chance to be featured on the website and Instagram.
Add your Products: Add imagery and descriptions of some or all products you are bringing to the show.
Exhibitor badges and scanners: This has the link to our registration partner, LiveBuzz, where you can order your badges for yourself and everyone who will be exhibiting with you. Don’t worry about this until a month before the show. You can order your badges up until right before the show starts. LiveBuzz also has a section called "Marketing Materials" where you can access marketing assets to share on your social media platform(s).
Plan your visit: Access to hotel discounts and information on staying in Harrogate.
Access the Operations & Logistics Manual: A quick and easy link to access our Operations Manual. Remember, the manual login details differ from your E-Zone login details!
