- YOUR SALUTE -

- YOUR SALUTE -

We’re thrilled that you’re interested in our PR, Media, Sponsorship and Marketing opportunities for SALUTE!

If it’s your first time, welcome to SALUTE, we hope your first experience is everything you hoped! For the grizzled veterans, we’re pleased to see you back on the show floor growing the hobby, sharing your gaming creations and selling your amazing products to all the guests.

Here we lay out our plans for promoting SALUTE, your business and your customers. We also have opportunities and sponsorship options which you can read more about below.

The Basics:

All exhibitors will have their company name and website link listed in the show programme and that list will be promoted on our website and media channels.

If you are launching a new product or any other exclusive deals/offers let us know and we can collaborate to promote your SALUTE moment, giving you extra reach.

If you have any questions about the promotion of the show or any PR questions in general, please send an email to PR@salute.co.uk

We are also always reachable on the club’s social media channels, so feel free to send us a message on any of them!

Our social media tags:

Twitter: @SLondonWarlords     Facebook: @SLWarlords    Instagram: @slwsalute

If you tag @slwsalute on Instagram, or @SLWarlords on Facebook, in any of your posts and stories, we will share these with our large and growing audience (some 6000 and growing across multiple platforms) to promote your stall and products at SALUTE.

Trader Stand Bag

We are looking to provide each SALUTE Trader stand with a Trader Bag including a SALUTE programme and official SALUTE miniature.

  • This is also an opportunity for traders to make new contacts, and promote services and products to other businesses by the inclusion of your business card, promotional leaflet, product sample or whatever works for you.

  • We will put your items in all bags to be distributed to the traders. The more exhibitors who get involved with this, the better the Trader bags will be.

  • Once we have a final list of traders we will let you know how many items are needed. it’s likely to be between 150 and 200.

SALUTE Digital Miniature(s)

Show off your sculpting skills to the industry!

  • We always provide a physical miniature and in recent years we’ve opened up space for a digital miniature.

  • We are looking for a sculptor to provide a free STL of a digital miniature in keeping with this year’s SALUTE theme. The STL only needs to be made available online through your website on the day of the event.

  • We will provide a QR code link to this STL in our show guide. We’ll also include you in our pre-show PR on our website and social media channels and provide a highlight of your work in our show guide.

  • Note: We’ll look to confirm a provider for this by the end of November.

The Official SALUTE Miniature

Every year the SALUTE team approaches a talented sculptor who we think is going to make the most enigmatic miniature and a trusted manufacturer who can supply the event.

  • Could this be you?

  • This is a paid commission by the SALUTE team for a unique “one off” miniature.

  • We’ll need a minimum of 5000 miniatures to put in the SALUTE goodie bags. 

  • This is not a bid process, the SALUTE team will only approach sculptors and manufacturers based on their merit.

  • Are you interested in putting your name forward for our team to review for a future SALUTE?

Goodie Bag Leaflets

We can put a limited number of leaflets into the show goodie bags for our first 6000 visitors. You may supply a leaflet of maximum size A5.

  • Minimum: 500. Maximum: 6000.

  • We will put these in the goodie bags to be distributed to all visitors.

  • We will charge you our packing costs of 5p per leaflet.

Goodie Bag Freebie Products

Show off your products directly to some of 6000 attendees as we provide everyone with the SALUTE goodie bags!

  • Minimum: 100. Maximum: 6000.
