Currently getting regular national TV exposure is the Dimplex SP9 Optiflame fire, which features on the set of GMTV's 'This Morning' programme.
The sleek modern fire looks great on screen, and because the flame effect can be run without using heat, it's ideal for under the lights of the studio.
More TV exposure has been generated on a number of makeover shows and whilst details of products and programmes are currently embargoed these appearances are valuable in showing the consumer exactly how a product looks and functions in a real home.
Dimplex products will be seen by hundreds of thousands of ideas-hungry consumers at the London Ideal Home Show in March, where Dimplex will have for the fourth year running, a range of fires, DuoHeat radiators, electronic panel heaters and towel rails on display in one of the Show Houses, a star attraction viewed by the majority of show visitors.
More Dimplex fires and a towel rail will be on display in the Ideal Home Magazine stand at the show, which features full roomsets to showcase the products against a realistic background.
Again, this area of the show attracts high footfall and is being supported with online marketing activity including a competition to win a Dimplex fire on the Ideal Home Magazine website.
Last year over 330,000 visitors attended the Ideal Home Show, so the show activity forms a key exposure for Dimplex.
Self-building consumers are also targeted, as Dimplex has a stand at the Homebuilding and Renovating exhibition in March to promote its range of heat pumps as well as Optiflame fires and towel rails.
In addition, Dimplex has permanent displays at the Building Centre and the National Self Build and Renovation Centre (previously BuildStore), which opened in February. Request a free brochure from Dimplex UK ...
