What Sort of Business Is Best Fit for the Home Show?
If you’re in the business of helping people improve, renovate, or personalise their homes—then the Home Show might just be your perfect platform.
Every year, Exhibitions and Events New Zealand (EENZ) welcomes thousands of eager homeowners to our Home Shows in Auckland and Canterbury. These attendees are actively planning projects, researching ideas, and looking for trusted experts. So, what types of businesses benefit the most from being part of the Home Show experience?
1. Home Renovation & Building Companies
From builders and architects to project managers and renovation consultants, our visitors come with plans and ideas—and they’re looking for professionals to bring those dreams to life. Whether it’s a new kitchen, a home extension, or a complete rebuild, you’ll be talking directly to people ready to start.
2. Interior & Exterior Design Specialists
The Home Show is a visual feast. If your business specialises in design—be it kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping, or interior décor—you’re in the right place. Attendees are looking for inspiration, but they’re also looking for guidance and a personal touch that can’t be found online.
3. Product Suppliers & Manufacturers
Whether you supply tiles, paint, roofing, furniture, spas, heating systems, windows, solar panels, or water tanks—if it fits into a home, it fits into the Home Show. Visitors appreciate the chance to see, touch, and ask questions about real products, and there’s no better way to showcase what makes yours stand out.
4. Smart Home & Technology Providers
With more homeowners looking to futureproof their homes, smart tech is booming. Security systems, automation tools, energy-efficient tech, and connected appliances are all highly popular at the Home Show, and exhibitors in this space often find they’re swamped with interest.
5. Lifestyle & Home Services
It’s not just about bricks and mortar—homeowners also want to enjoy their space. Outdoor living brands, cleaning solutions, home organisation services, insurance providers, and even home-based business opportunities are all welcome. If it helps people feel better about their home, it’s a natural fit.
6. Local Artisans and Bespoke Services
From custom-made furniture to handcrafted décor and home fragrances, local and boutique businesses often find a passionate and supportive audience at the Home Show. People love discovering something new and unique—and they’re more inclined to support local when they can meet the maker face to face.
What Makes It Work?
At the Home Show, people come ready to buy, book, and begin. It’s not just about foot traffic—it’s about qualified leads, brand exposure, and face-to-face conversations that convert.
Whether you’re an established brand or a growing local business, the Home Show is where homeowners come to plan and shop. If your business helps people build, improve, beautify, or enjoy their home—you belong here.
