It's been a rough year or so for a lot of businesses, and this is especially true of jewelry wholesalers. Not only has demand dropped significantly, but silver prices have jumped about 30%.
I expect the mood to be somewhat subdued at this year's show, much as it was last year. On the wholesale level, I will be looking to reconnect with my suppliers from India. I do have some money to spend, but I will be looking for special pieces that really stand out.
I'll also be looking for deals. I expect to find suppliers that are hungry for new customers, and others that are just looking to move some units.
For our retail stores, it's going to be much the same thing. I don't have a lot to spend, but I do need some cool new products that will generate interest and draw customers into the stores.
I'll post here when I return with photos and a synopsis of the show.
