Don't hate us for being so behind on this post - 2012 has already proved to be a very busy year for the Cover Story team!In January, two of our clients, Wendell August Forge and Tervis had the pleasure of exhibiting at AmericasMart Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market.
The size of AmericasMart is pretty hard to put in to words, so maybe this image will help put it in perspective. Keep in mind, however, that is just showing up to the 10th floor of ONE of the AmericasMart buildings - there are 3 buildings and each has 20+ floors - talk about a lot to see in one show!
One of the coolest things about AmericasMart is the vast variety of companies that exhibit here. Everything from colored glass, to rugs, to shrubs sculpted with celebrity's faces - there is definitely something for everyone.
We were very proud of both Wendell August and Tervis for the excellent presentation they put on in both of their showrooms. This was Wendell August's first year entering in to wholesale and first year exhibiting in Atlanta. The reception by retailers, media, buyers, and colleagues was even better than we all could have dreamed for; it was so exciting to see first-time reactions to Wendell August's handcrafted aluminum giftware pieces!
Wendell August and Tervis are both American-made companies, and both got a chance to celebrate this unique quality in Atlanta. Wendell August exhibited in the all new "Made in America" section of AmericasMart, and Tervis celebrated 65 years of being a Made-in-America company by hosting a super fun "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happy Hour" Party for AmericasMart guests - complete with a live band playing American classics and red, white and blue cocktails!
