Hello All,

    When we talk about "Wholesale Show" what exactly does it mean.
    Importers-Wholesalers-Chain Stores go to Bangkok Show in Thailand
    (For Silver), Hong Kong Show (For Silver & Diamonds), Vicenza Oro
    (for Gold) etc. to import items from manufactures. A Manufacturer
    (source) to wholesale (bulk) could be considered as a true Wholesale
    show. For example several wholesaler-manufacturers in Thailand have
    a minimum of 100 peices per design, minimum order US$ 1000. 

    Several Wholesalers then take part in their country's Wholesale to
    Retailers show, For Example Iberjoya in Spain (items imported from
    source is sold at this show by Spanish Wholesalers to retailers)
    Similarly there is JIS in Florida USA, IJL London, Macef Italy, JCK
    Las Vegas, Inhorgenta in Germany etc. Different shows in Different
    Countries. 

    Though there are exceptions and mix and match, several
    manufacturers-suppliers from source countries take part in JCK, IJL,
    Basel etc. 

    There are also small wholesalers or retailers who purchase in good
    number, usually having a medium size business or from interior parts
    in their country who rather go to their country's main trade show
    and meet manufacturers from other countries, rather than going
    abroad (Thailand/India/Italy/HK) to source their needs).

    Then there are these retailers/wholesalers to the smaller retailers
    or open public shows, as per the city, states etc. 

    The most important thing is hardly any Wholesale or the largest
    Business to Business Trade Shows in the world can claim to have the
    highest visitor mix or leading buyers! 

    For example : exhibitors at JIS Florida meet many
    wholesale/retailers from Dominian Republic, a few Indian Exhibitors
    had made good contacts with Scottish and buyers from Ireland at the
    International Jewelry London! Lot of buyers from Cyprus flock to the
    Istanbul Show! While lot of Gold Jewerly buyers from Gulf (United
    Arab Emirates) flock to the IIJS (India International Jewelry
    Show)!! A few Thai exporters met buyers from Poland and Hungary at
    Inhorgenta in Germany!!! 

    Hence none of the trade fairs even the leading ones like JCK or
    Basel or Tucson could have complet range of buyers from around the
    World. 

    So in which Category does the Rosen Show fall in!?
