We talk a lot about the importance of displays at our show. Last year, Debi Ward Kennedy shot some segments on displays for The Gift and Home Channel just before our show opened for the weekend.
Here are the links: Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, Video 4, Video 5, Video 6.
It's fun to see some of the beautiful displays that our vendors came up with!










Those video's are great. I would so love to come to your show sometime. Great job chicks! Wish I got that channel!

Ok I have no shop but I sure did enjoy the videos. Love those pots and pans you shared with in the 1st video.
Also love the idea of using the old tea cart. Heck I might have to look for some things to just add to my house for fun ways to show off my goodies.
Thanks for sharing!

Girls, I had no idea you posted these today...I am too busy getting ready for your show! Thank you again for letting us do this series at your show last June. I hope that many people are able to use the info to help with their stores and booths at shows. That was the whole idea!
BTW, Amy? The videos are not on a television channel - 'The Gift & Home Channel' is a website! Go to www.giftandhomechannel.com for wonderful resources for retailers.

Serena, someone just asked me about these videos on your site, and I wanted to add info here so they can still be viewed....
They are on my web site at www.DebiWardKennedy.com. Just scroll down the page - the video players are at the bottom. ;0)
Thanks!
