Joyful Rabbit Design Draws a Positive Response at the Dallas Market
Joyful Rabbit Design has made its debut at FINDS, an exhibition at the Dallas Market Center, where yearly wholesale transactions are estimated to surpass 8 billion.
The 5 million-square-foot trade center attracts buyers throughout the United States and over 80 countries, who come to find out what’s new and hot in the world of partyware and paper, gifts, home décor, apparel, housewares, fashion, and more.
Joyful Rabbit is a young design company whose early success includes signing their first art-licensing contract less than six months after launch—a noteworthy achievement in an industry where obtaining a first contract can take up to two years.
To date, buyers for independent and specialty shops nationwide have placed orders for Joyful Rabbit greeting cards, which were well received at the DMC.
“Customers at the show said they really liked the bright colors and cheerful designs,” said Kimberly Rinehart, owner of it takes two, manufacturer of Joyful Rabbit cards. “Joyful Rabbit is performing well for us, and plans for a new release are underway.”
“I’m thrilled,” said Joyful Rabbit artist and creative director Jessica Hausman. “To show in Dallas, at the world’s largest wholesale market, is a dream come true.”
About Joyful Rabbit Design – In November of 2011, Joyful Rabbit, a Chicago-based design studio, began offering unique, original art for licensing to manufacturers of stationery, paper goods, and small gifts. The popularity of their fresh, whimsical imagery led them to sign their first contract in May of 2012.
Enhancing the artist-manufacturer experience is a top priority. To facilitate production, Joyful Rabbit makes all of their designs available as layered Photoshop files.
