The African branding and the product display attracted lot of visitors. Media coverage of the MITSUMI Stand added to the overall exposure and excitement about MITSUMI.
At MITSUMI’s stand, we had a good exposure for all the vendor’s products. Many of our current customers from the channel and retail segment were able to see and study the entire range on display.
