What they’re saying

“This was our first market here in our own brand showroom and it's been fantastic. Buyers have been enthusiastic and highly engaged, coming from all over the U.S. to source new products.”

— Kristin Sprague, National sales and marketing director, Patchology

“For first-time exhibitors, the market exceeded expectations. Our goal in attending Las Vegas Market was to expand our clientele while sharing products that genuinely help people with their skin. Clean ingredients are at the core of what we do — and this market has allowed us to connect with businesses that truly value that approach.”

— Taylor Dickson and Brynn Albrech, Co-owners, Buttermood Soap Studio

“This is our first time returning to market in seven years, and our goal was simply to reconnect and reach West Coast customers — and it's proven to be a great decision. We've seen a steady flow of buyers and written solid orders throughout the market. As a husband-and-wife team, we focus on supporting smaller, independent retailers and we don't sell direct-to-consumers and third-party platforms, which gives our customers a level of exclusivity they really value. Overall, the response has been very encouraging, and we're glad to be back at Las Vegas Market.”

— Julie and Christopher Tassy, Co-owners, Ella B. Candles
