Mineralexpo 2006 - Barcelona
The new Mineralexpo show was a great success. The first show, held in March 2006, had more than 16,000 visitors! |
The influx of visitors was too large for the show. People had to queue to get
in and there were periods when it was completely full. For years I have said
that the love of minerals in Spain is widespread, and this show proved this to
be the case. It must almost be a Guinness record that a first show attracted
so many people (there was a trial show last year in May)
|
The success was due to a number of factors. One was the superb promotion of the show by the G.M.C. organisers. They used all the methods available to them, from the simple, as show in the left hand photo, to the elaborate, such as the poster in the right hand photo, as well as lots of adverts in magazines, newspapers, radio and television which is shown in the picture!
No show can pass without an interesting
event. In this a helpful soul, thinking that this corundum did not stand out
very well within its box, raised it for us with this strange plastic base. As
you can see in the right hand photo, they put the corundum on this support so
that it was more visible.
