It's showtime!
As I write this, it's already dark outside - but not for much longer! Soon it will be spring and we've a whole host of exciting opportunities ahead. The first major event for us is of course Craft, Hobby + Stitch International - the only dedicated trade show for the craft industry. It's a great opportunity to meet up with existing customers and meet potential new ones, to showcase the latest products or find out about what's in the pipeline, what trends to watch out for and what the general mood is. There is sure to be lots to see and consider - especially for the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee and then the Olympics. read more > |
