GLAMOROUS GLASS AT THE INTERNATIONAL HOME SHOW

Between October 8th and 11th Glamorous Glass participated at the International Home Show which took place at the International Centre in Mississauga, ON. The show was highly anticipated by us. Starting in June when we booked a booth, we were planning and arranging a display for the show. And here we are. The Show is finally here.

We must say that the International Home Show impressed us with a number of vendors. The variety of offered products was really remarkable. You could have found great deals on furniture, home renovations, cleaning products etc. There were only few vendors offering home decoration products, which was the advantage for us, of course. Besides having our glass vases, table centerpieces, candle holders, etc. sold, we also got a great opinion on what we carry. We were happy to hear from the public that we “have a great taste in choosing the inventory” or that we will do “well when opening a store front”.

Although the Show was an experience worth of going through, we found it not popular enough. Certainly, great weather during this long Thanksgiving weekend was not helpful as whoever could, rather than staying in the city, was heading up north to catch the last rays of sun before a long winter. As a result, all vendors were disappointed with such a low attendance at the Show.
