Enviromate TANDEM Chosen by IHA

Our EnviroMate TANDEM was selected by the International Housewares Association (IHA) reviewers to be included in the Design Directions: Going Green display at the upcoming International Home & Housewares Show 2011! This display will be located in the Lakeside Center lobby (a highly visible and high traffic area at the show). There will be approximately 60 examples of products and packaging from exhibitors (there are over 2000 exhibitors) featured as a snapshot of exhibitors’ sustainability efforts.

This display is meant to give buyers and media a “greener” view at the Show.

The EnviroMate TANDEM will be included in a brochure that will list participants by company and booth number. This brochure will be distributed at the display and in the News Center to help buyers and media find the Show’s sustainable products.

HOUSEWARES SHOW FOLLOW-UP

iha_20091

I’m pleased to say, that we’ve survived yet another Housewares show. The much publicized event was definitely slower this year in terms of overall attendance, but we kept ourselves busy, particularly on day 1 and day 2. Day 3 was a different story. I guess many companies decided to save on the extra nights stay and brought their staff home early.

It’s always a very stressful week, getting the final touches to the booth ready, preparing promotional material, and making sure all of the last minute details have been looked after. After this years show I am more determined then ever to hire a company to do our booth set up and tear down. It’s not that we do so many shows any longer (we don’t), but it’s a very long week as it is, without having to deal with the booth itself. I’ll try to remember this for next year (note to self, remember this).

We did get a chance at the show to say hello to many of our new reps that have come along with Dave at NRPP.  A special hello and thank you to the reps that spent time with us, learning about the products and getting to know who we are.

The response from our customers and reps for our new products was very rewarding. We’ve spent a great deal of time on these new items, and I was delighted by the positive feedback.

And of course a special thank you to Alice, Art and Martha for all of their help during the week. We’ve got quite a team here, and they stepped up to the plate like they always do.

Chicago was as schizophrenic as it usually is. One day hot, one day freezing windy cold. You’d never know there was a recession by the line-ups at the restaurants in Chicago. One hour minimum. But the wait is always worthwhile, and our normal spots didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to do it all over again next year.
