If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this was the most innovative GlobalShop (GS) yet. Vendors pulled out all the stops to bring us the best looking, highest quality retail solutions possible.
Fleetwood Fixtures wowed us with its Best in Show booth, while CNL Mannequins caught my eye (hey, so what if I like my men ripped – and expressionless?). Holiday Image decked a mannequin out in a Christmas parka unlike any other, and NicoNat Mfg. showed us the fabulousness of venetian laser style.
Per the usual GS experience, we also got to see just how hip retail design can be. Lifestyle/Trimco upped the ante with their uber cool mannequins (they had better hair than me!), while Newtech Display let customers direct the messaging on their chalkboard mannequin.
Who thinks of this stuff?!
Luckily, you do. And that’s why these highlights can’t be missed.
Already thinking about 2012? Yeah, so are we. So, mark your calendars – Feb. 29-March 2. See you then! In the meantime, what were your favorite highlights? Tell us about it here.
