All Eyes on Vegas by Mindy Platt


Crowds of men and women dressed in suits and high heels, music fills the cool winter air, and there’s a growing excitement – it could only be the Las Vegas Market.

In February, Yosemite Home Décor made the ambitious decision to open, not one, not two – but SEVEN showrooms at the Las Vegas Market. They not only opened seven showrooms, but to help bring the best deals on décor to their customers they purchased excess inventory from exhibitors who left market such as Murray Feiss, Casual Creations, Metrotex Designs, Painting Depot and Art 4 Kids and sold them as clearance for next to nothing – a great steal that many customers took advantage of.

For Yosemite Home Décor, there was a lot of success with the contemporary artwork line and glass sinks. Customers present were also the first to see our new line of electric fireplaces which were perceived extremely well, selling out the stock we had and starting pre-sales for the next shipment expected in May.

At the World Market Center we also participated in the first Inspiredesign market on the 4th floor of Building C. In our booth we featured our new portable lighting collection, artwork and architectural décor, including our life-size hippopotamus, Henrietta. It was a great learning experience that will help us to branch out to hospitality buyers as well, which is really exciting!

We had a great market, meeting a lot of great people, and showing off some really exciting new product. If you weren’t able to attend, make a point to come to the next market scheduled for August 2-6, 2010 – you won’t want to miss it!
