What Underbara Barn does
Underbara Barn organizes Sweden's largest annual consumer fair for pregnant women and families with children aged 0-7, held each October over three days at Stockholmsmässan in Stockholm. The event combines three pillars: shopping (70+ exhibitors of baby and children's products), expert lectures, and family entertainment including Sweden's largest children's party on Saturday and Sunday. Day-specific programming includes Föräldraledig Fredag (Parent Leave Friday) tailored to parents on parental leave with infants, and a Mom Shower Pop Up on Sunday targeting expectant mothers with curated exhibitors, childbirth preparation lectures, and a goodie bag valued at minimum 500 SEK. The fair attracts 12,000+ live visitors per event and reaches 200,000+ parents through nationwide marketing channels.
The business operates as a physical event without any disclosed proprietary technology platform, app, or digital product surface; consumer ticketing and exhibitor booth sales are conducted through the company website (underbarabarn.se) and direct outreach. The company is a brand under Nordic Family Group AB, a privately held Swedish parent (Reg. No. 556576-2530) headquartered in Danderyd that also operates BabyBox.se and Babykalendern. In February 2023, Nordic Family Group acquired Jansen Kids Group, the prior parent, merging it with BabyBox and BabyBag sampling concepts to form the Nordic region's largest media house for expectant and new parents.
Revenue is generated from three streams: consumer ticket sales for event admission, exhibitor booth rental (starting from 12 sqm, pricing on application, multi-year contracts referenced), and the premium Mom Shower ticket tier. Go-to-market is event-driven, with consumer demand built through an Early Bird VIP list, newsletter marketing, and organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), while exhibitor relationships are managed through a dedicated exhibitor portal and direct sales. Customer segments are dual: B2C attendees (pregnant women and parents of children 0-7) and B2B exhibitor brands targeting the Nordic family demographic, including Libero, Baby Björn, Thule, Britax, Semper, Jollyroom, Nintendo, Babyland, and BabySam.
