Just wanted to touch base with you and see what you thought of the LPP show. We did The Showroom and liked it. Thought there coulc have been more buyers and we did not have the press that LPP had. We are contemplating attendting the LPP in Aug. in Atlanta. Are you going to attend or are you doing NY PetFashionWeek? We would love to hear your feedback. Hope you had a great show!

If you are a boutique and live within 3 or 4 hours of  L.A. it’s definitely worth the trip out.  You won’t wear out your feet schlepping down endless isles where only 1 out of 10 companies you want to see.  If your main focus is food and basics this may not be the best show for you. It would probably be better to go to Global Pet Expo where you have a blend of boutique products and day to day stuff.   It’s too bad that it competes with the LA Showroom, which is only a day before.

All of these shows are only diluting the business and confusing retailers and vendors alike. It is not good for our industry, especially given the economic forecast for the coming year.
