Vasesource' s First Year at AmericasMart Atlanta Gift Show

Vasesource’s First Year at the AmericasMart Atlanta Gift Show

 

Vasesource is no stranger to gift shows. However, the excitement of introducing our brand new collections in a new city is what drives us to put our best foot forward.

This year, we traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for the AmericasMart Atlanta Gift Show. 

This massive shopping center is the nation’s number 1 destination for finding Gifts and Home Décor paraphernalia and it is the perfect place to showcase our collections. It was also a great opportunity to announce our partnership with D&M Depot.

We spent weeks preparing for it and could not wait to get started on this adventure.

At Vasesource, we love meeting customers face to face; helping in the selection of items they need while providing excellent service. Now is the time to shine!

DAY 1: Preparation

 

Before the excitement of the Show began, we had three of our sales team members fly down to help set up our booth.

Tracy of the Chelsea Massachusettsshowroom,

Barbara of the Fairfield NewJersey Headquarter and showroom

&

Daniel McClelland, Sales & Marketing Director, also of our Fairfield location.

They were ready for the task at hand.

As soon as they arrived, it was straight to work; they put together shelves, unpacked vases and catalogs, and also put together some floral arrangements. To help us with the event,
Christophe, the Sales Director for D&M Depot
, came down and met with us. 
 It was really great getting to know him and talk more about the collections.

Once everything was in place, they were ready for what the first day of the Show would bring their way.

 

DAY 2: Day 1 of the Show

 

Our team was eager to seize the day and could not wait to meet customers, familiar and new, and share our new catalog.

As the day went on, more and more customers visited our booth; they all really loved our new products and ask to know more.

At the end of the day, we were just elated that our very first day turned out to be so successful and looked forward to the following days at the Show.

DAY3-5: Bustling Busy Days

-

As we moved towards the weekend, our team members were delighted to greet returning customers, who visited the first two days of the show.

We were delighted to have

Itzik Yakobi, the owner of Vasesource, 

as well as

Daniel Gershon, the manager of our New York City Showroom,

join us for the remainder of the gift show.

The days got busier, but our team kept on smiling! Our knowledgeable staff was able to respond to all questions and was happy to help customers place their orders with our online ordering system, making ordering with us an easy process. As our selections are ever growing and new items come in everyday, we encouraged them to come back and visit us in the future.


DAY 6: The Last Day

-

On the last day of the show, after assisting the remaining customers with their orders, our team packed up everything they had built a few days before. They packed away all of the shelves and vases and made sure to clean up any mess that may have resulted from packing everything away. Only after completing all of this did they began the journey back home.

We had a wonderful time and want to extend a big thank you to AmericasMart Atlanta for having us, to Christophe for meeting and helping us throughout the whole show, and the customers who came out to meet us.

 From all of us at Vasesource, we thank you and hope to see you again.
