Holy Days, Happy Holidays, Fiesta’s Rays!
Montgomery, AL – If Lamar Thompson, president of Caffco International, is excited about the success his firm achieved at Atlanta’s AmericasMart earlier this month, who’d want to curb that enthusiasm? According to Thompson, Caffco’s sales increased greatly over those at last year’s market, as did the number of orders and new customers. “This may indicate that this could finally be the turnaround everyone is hoping for,” he says.
Thompson also attributes Caffco’s resounding success to three additional factors: a new Atlanta location (Building #2, Suite 1710), new showroom design and set-up, and improved, trend-focused product offerings that have tapped into what retailers feel their customers will be looking for in the coming year.
Caffco’s Fantastic Four
In Atlanta, Caffco’s most-wanted 2010 collections included those that tap into cherished Christmas traditions; affirm the comforting presence and power of angels; the bright, feisty designs of Mandy Bagwell’s Latino-inspired “Fiesta Caliente” collection; Halloween shenanigans; and a bumper crop of Harvest celebrations.
Mandy Bagwell rocked the Caffco showroom with her whimsical Christmas ornaments and spicy, south-of-the-border “Fiesta Caliente” dinnerware offerings. “Sales were up dramatically in both these categories, showing that customers are looking to add a dash of fun to their get-togethers and holiday celebrations,” Thompson says. All M. Bagwell items are individually hand painted in fanciful colors.
Nativities, decidedly traditional but infused with a bright, sparkling new twist, also took center stage in Caffco’s Atlanta showroom, Thompson says. “Nativities were at the top of our bestseller list, as were other items with inspirational themes.”
The debut of a collection of driftwood angels sent retailers winging their way to Caffco sales representatives, as did other new items crafted in the Philippines.
Rounding out Caffco’s top-performing categories in Atlanta were Halloween and Harvest designs, perfect for helping consumers add fun to Halloween activities and decorate for the fall season.
