Survey of visitors to trade fair Collector 2004

A survey was carried out at Collector which was intended to show the current composition of visitors. The survey was carried out on all days of the trade fair on a sample of 271 randomly selected visitors.
From the survey it emerged that 48.3% of visitors were from Prague, 36.9% were from outside Prague, and 14.8% were from abroad. This means that an average of one in seven visitors to the trade fair came from abroad. There has been a significant increase in foreign visitors since 2002, when a similar survey was conducted.
(Note: 48% of all exhibitors were from abroad this year!)
For 32.1% of visitors, one day at the trade fair was insufficient, and they visited more than once. Thus every third visitor was at the trade fair for at least two days.
87.8% of visitors were satisfied with the offer (in 2002 it had been 85%).
At the trade fair, the greatest interest was in philately and postcards (32.5%), coins and medals (22.2%), minerals and precious stones (12.2%), historical picture postcards (8.9%), telephone cards (8.7%), gems made of precious stones (4.3%) and banknotes (3.3%). 7.9 % of visitors came to the trade fair for other fields of collecting.
In answer to the question as to how you rate the trade fair Collector in comparison with other collecting trade fairs and exchanges which you know, 24% of visitors said Collector is the best, 31% said it is better, 41.7% said it is the same, and 3.3% said it is worse.
84.9% of visitors will return to Collector next year, and 14% have not yet decided. Only a mere 1.1.% of this year's visitors will not return.
The fair was visited by 12,155 visitors.

What they said about Collector 2004

"This trade fair is a positive event, and we are pleased that we can participate in it, because a great offer of coins is presented here. And it is the very breadth of the offer that gives Collector a leading position amongst trade fairs in this field."
Mrs.Jana Repčoková, Mint Kremnica, Slovakia

"If I can start with Prague, it is a beautiful city and is becoming one of the centres of Europe. And so I am glad that this trade fair is held in Prague, where it is possible to make the necessary contacts for our collecting activity."
Mr.Barrio Sebastien, Japan Telephone Card, Japan

"Offering philatelic material in the environment of this trade fair also requires dignified conditions for its presentation, and we have such conditions at Collector. We feel good here. We are surprised at the genuine rather than feigned interest that the people have. It truly is a trade fair of people enthusiastic about an interesting hobby. It is true that I face competition, but that is part of every large event."
Mr.Mirijan Kuhelj, Philatel d.o.o., Croatia

"This trade fair addresses people who don't go to auctions. This expands the view of numismatics and the other fields of collecting present at Collector. And this trade fair also makes sense for us in that it raises the profile of our firm, our shop."
Mr.František Křesťan, Aurea Numismatika, Czech Republic

"We are glad that this trade fair is international, but we will be pleased if even more foreign exhibitors are represented here in the years to come."
Mr.George Pastellis, Cyprus Post, Cyprus

"We will definitely return next year. This is our first time here, and we don't regret it. Collectors discovered our stand on the very first day and showed great interest in commemorative coins in particular. We weren't bothered that we didn't sell some coins right away. And could I venture my most favourable impression? You have many collectors in the Czech Republic - people who spend their free time actively. And if it gives them an opportunity to meet, to make contacts, to exchange experience, it goes beyond the meaning of one trade fair, and it is a positive social event."
Mrs.Zsuzsanna Astalos, Hungarian Mint, Hungary

"We would like to thank you for the kind support which we received from you at the trade fair. We were very pleased to participate in this trade fair."
Mrs.Conceicao Coimbra, Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda, Portugal

"Ahoj!I hope Sberatel 2004 was a success for you. I enjoyed the show and want to return in 2005. Please reserve for me - if possible - the same stand as this year."
Mr.Trevor Pateman, Great Britain

"Progres Partners? A good unit apparently. Congratulations."
Mr.Jiří Stošek, Filatelie Hobby Praha, Czech Republic
