UK membership · Sales leads
Let buyers find you
Retailers, brands, designers and specifiers come to the SDEA to find suppliers. Membership puts you where they look, passes their enquiries straight to you, and keeps your work in front of the industry all year round.
Your profile on sdea.co.uk
Your logo, description, contact details, website and social links, photos of your latest projects, your news and your award badges, all on one page with an enquiry form that sends buyers’ messages straight to you. You can update it yourself from the members’ area.
Found by product
You appear on the supplier page for every product you supply, from shopfitting and lighting to mannequins, signage and packaging, and in the product search and the A to Z.
One brief, several replies
Buyers can describe their project once and send the brief to every member who supplies what they need. The brief arrives in your inbox and you reply to the buyer directly.
The SDEA infoline
Buyers call and email the SDEA for help finding suppliers. We pass their enquiries straight on to the members who can help.
The Directory
Your company in the SDEA Design & Display Directory, the industry’s buyers’ guide, published online.
Shoptalk and the Newswire
Your projects, launches and news in Shoptalk, handed out at major exhibitions, and sent to over 200 publications by the SDEA Newswire, both free of charge. A PR agency would charge £1,500 to £3,000 to send one story. See the comparison.
Awards that win work
Free entry to every category of the Creative Retail Awards. Shortlisted and winning members carry the badge on their profile, where buyers see it.
Meet the buyers
The Networking Evening at the VM & Display Show, the Summer Social, the Christmas Lunch and the Creative Retail Awards put you in the room with retailers, brands and designers. Many members also trade with each other.
“As a member of the SDEA, we have had numerous opportunities thanks to their Directory and infoline service, including leads, enriching networking events and discounts on trade shows.”
