We started off the year with a BANG at the 2012 PPAI Las Vegas Expo. With over 1,000 exhibitors and 20,000 attendees, it’s an understatement to say I was a little overwhelmed at my first trade show. Luckily I had the veterans, Katie and Don,  there to help me out. Katie thought it was, “great to meet everyone and finally get the chance to put some names to faces.”

The Bloomin sales team got to stay in the luxurious Luxor hotel, and I’ll tell you we had quite the time navigating that labyrinth of a pyramid. I guess that’s what they try to do in Vegas, get you so lost in the hotel so you’ll never leave!

Our new 2012 products were well received, and our new and improved booth looked great. People were most excited about our plantable seed paper confetti packs and mini-planting kits. We are in the process of whipping up some samples of those so we can send them out to the hungry masses. The rest of the month holds two more trade shows, ASI Orlando and Toronto. We better rest up and get ready to do it all over again!
