Innovation Direct™ enjoys first day at National Hardware Show 2009…

Hello, Juan C. Blanco, Innovation Direct™’s Director of Product Licensing, checking in with our first report regarding the National Hardware Show 2009 with Lawn and Garden World, taking place between today and Thursday at the expansive Las Vegas Convention Center. We have been looking forward to seeing first-hand how the current economic climate would impact this traditionally successful event, one that has always provided our company with quality contacts and networking opportunities. Due to its usual size and the fact that the event actually houses 3 separate shows (the National Hardware Show, Lawn and Garden World, and the Homewares Show), 2 Innovation Direct™ representatives will be navigating the convention center floor for the 3 days.

We are pleased to report that the word from our trade show contingent at the conclusion of Day 1 was an overall positive one. Our colleagues did have a chance to stop in to each section of the trio of events today and began dialogue with an eclectic group of exhibitors. Among them was a company that carries the “As Seen On TV” brand and was very interested in reviewing a wide variety of inventions from our roster.

We will have more detailed impressions in our Day 2 report concerning the National Hardware Show 2009. Join us then!
