Las Vegas Market Review
The Las Vegas Market has easily established its place as the number 2 furniture show in the States. The great thing about it, is that buyers can easily navigate the show, and visit many underexposed companies. The reason High Point is still the best, is that the showrooms are much bigger in highpoint. That said, it seems that to be a major player in home furnishings, you need to be at Vegas with your latest products.
Also, like at highpoint, there are lots of informative seminars, epically good free seminars being put up by the Sustainable Furnishings Council.
Below is a review from 10 months ago…
Day 1.
There were big lines to get registered today, but by noon, they seemed to quiet down. That, and I waited in the wrong line with my brother. Anyway, the media line was fast!
So, this place is HUGE, a new building was finished this year, building C, and it seems to be a lot more international. I would estimate that 25% of the suppliers in building C are manufacturers from Asia.
Lots of fantastic products and trends to watch, but I’ll write about those in my blog.
I’ll write another review tomorrow…
Day 2.
It seems like some people are saying that traffic is down, but I’d guess that with the current state of the economy, people might be holding tight with their budgets. Maybe waiting till High Point.
Anyway, if your a looking for space to display your products, this is a great show. There are lots of empty spaces this show, and lots of international suppliers are here.
I would not recommend showing here, unless you are stocking in the USA, but, I’d guess there are some companies who are doing this, anyway, just please save buyers time, by displaying if you do not stock, very clearly.
