The Grommet Wholesale adds Urban Expositions’ Las Vegas show to its trade show schedule

Adding to its growing partnership with Urban Expositions, The Grommet will add the Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show to its fall trade show schedule.  Already participating in Urban Expositions summer events, including the Philadelphia Gift Show and Windy City Gift Show, the September 18-21, 2016 Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show will round out the product launch site’s partnership with Urban Expositions.

The Grommet, a product launch platform, finds unique and undiscovered products (called Grommets) and helps promote them to consumers and retailers through their online platform. In 2014, at the first White House Maker Faire, The Grommet launched a wholesale division geared specifically to retailers. The Grommet Wholesale allows retailers to stock their shelves with tested and proven-to-sell products with the same ease a consumer experiences when shopping online, at no added cost. The Grommet Wholesale provides a digital marketing and sales bridge between the world’s best product Makers and the $4 trillion retail business they need to reach to be successful, with a low burden of logistical management.

“As the largest souvenir event in the nation, the Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show gives The Grommet another retail audience to explore under the Urban Expositions umbrella,” said Lisa Glosson, show director, Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show, Urban Expositions. “We want to continue to provide our retailers with unique product that differentiates them from their competition as well as find new ways to bring retailers together with the talented crafters and new product they are looking for.”

“We look forward to seeing a wide range of souvenir and resort retailers at the national meeting place for the industry in Las Vegas,” said Ian Markowitz, senior manager, Business Development, The Grommet. “We know retailers are looking for new products and exciting, up-and-coming companies to work with and we’ll bringing nothing but the best to Vegas.”
