What arada promotions does

Arada Promotions 2021 Limited is a privately held New Zealand event management company that organises and operates consumer exhibitions across three distinct brands: NZ Baby Expos, Go Green Expo, and NZ Food Expo. The company sells exhibition stand space to businesses — primarily small and medium-sized brands — who in turn showcase products and services directly to consumer audiences. Events are staged at established venues across New Zealand's four largest population centres, including Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch, Eventfinda Stadium in Auckland, TSB Arena in Wellington, and Claudelands Events Centre in Hamilton.

The operational footprint spans multiple verticals (baby and parenting products, sustainable and green-living goods, and food and beverage) and is supported by a small leadership team of seven people covering general management, sales (per expo brand), operations, marketing and partnerships, and accounts. The technology layer is conventional and lightweight: a WordPress-based website with event calendar functionality, JotForm-powered online exhibitor booking contracts, and dedicated exhibitor information portals per event. There is no proprietary software, no app, and no API surface. The company relies on venue partnerships, social media (Facebook), prospectus PDFs, and event calendar distribution to drive both exhibitor acquisition and consumer attendance.

The revenue model is a one-time stand rental license sold per exhibitor per event, with stand pricing varying by city (Auckland commands a premium, with Double Superior stands up to NZ$4,699), stand size (Market at ~4.32 m² through Double Superior at ~14.4 m²), and expo vertical. Payment is structured on a no-deposit, pay-by-the-20th basis, lowering friction for small exhibitors. Forward visibility is supported by a scheduled calendar of 12 events between September 2026 and June 2027. No revenue, funding, M&A, or expansion outside New Zealand is disclosed.

Direct peers

• North Show Management: North Show Management (formerly Court Group) is a New Zealand-based exhibition organizer that runs several consumer-facing trade shows in Auckland and other major NZ cities. It is a direct competitor to Arada in the NZ consumer-expo organizer space with overlapping SMB exhibitor relationships.
• Baby+Toddler Show (PBC Events): The Baby & Toddler Show in New Zealand targets the same parenting/baby products exhibitor and consumer segment as Arada's NZ Baby Expos, representing a direct head-to-head competitor for exhibitor stand sales in the same geography.
• The Food Show (NZ): The Food Show is New Zealand's largest artisan and specialty food consumer expo held in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. It directly competes with Arada's NZ Food Expo for artisan F&B exhibitors and foodie consumer attendees across the same cities.

Broad incumbents

• Clarion Events: Clarion Events is one of the largest global consumer exhibition organizers, producing flagship events such as The Baby Show (London), London Pet Show, and various Food & Drink expos. It is comparable as a broad incumbent operating consumer lifestyle exhibitions at scale, including the baby segment that overlaps with Arada's NZ Baby Expos.
• Informa Markets: Informa Markets is the world's largest exhibitions group, operating hundreds of trade and consumer shows including food, lifestyle, and baby/family events across multiple regions. As a broad incumbent, it competes for the same SME exhibitor wallet share that Arada targets at its NZ Food, Baby, and Green Living shows.
• Reed Exhibitions: Reed Exhibitions (RELX) operates a global portfolio of trade and consumer exhibitions including food, baby, and lifestyle events. Comparable to Arada as a broad incumbent in the consumer-exhibition industry operating overlapping vertical shows at much larger scale.
• dmg events: dmg events (a subsidiary of Daily Mail and General Trust) is a major global exhibitions company running food, hospitality, and lifestyle consumer shows. Comparable as a broad incumbent that produces overlapping vertical exhibitions and has the resources to enter smaller markets such as New Zealand.

Others

• Site Safe NZ Event Partners: Site Safe is a member organization supporting the NZ events and construction safety ecosystem. It is comparable as an adjacent enabling organization serving the same NZ events industry that Arada operates within, providing safety, regulatory, and industry support rather than direct competition.
