I have just gone into the 52nd year of producing trade shows and wish to thank the Home Furnishings Industry across the Country for the wonderful support we have received throughout the many years with our Furniture & Accessory Markets.
We all know our industry was hit hard . . . very hard and we are a twin of the housing industry, however, enough about all that, as we all know what was . . . now we must start thinking of what is and what will be.
Housing is better across the U.S., people will be getting jobs and will be buying or renting homes, which means the purchasing of furniture, bedding, accessories, etc.
I have read many times in the last few years that anyone who makes it through the great recession will be so far a head of anyone else and benefit greatly once business begins to return.
Here at KEM, we work hard, very hard at giving the best service we can to both our exhibitors and the buyers who attend our shows.
We are seeing a vast improvement in the mood in the region of our Long Beach Furniture Market and the show has doubled in size and selling out each time. We recently moved to a larger exhibit hall within the Long Beach Convention Center and that is just about sold out.
The other events, Edison, New Jersey, Irving, Texas and the new market in Fredericksburg, Virginia are all on the upswing as well.
I love this business and hope to keep writing on our blog for many years to come.
Will be in touch soon.
Have a great day, we sure are here in Miami as it is beautiful.
