LV Market Adds ‘Power Hour’, Members Club Opportunities

July 13, 2018  by Jane Chero in Business Strategy, Industry, Las Vegas, Market   

HSRA owner and founder Jana Uselton will present two sessions during the market highlighting residential construction and interiors.

“Power Hour: Design Trends for New Homes” will address key features home builders are incorporating into new homes that impact furniture, art and accessory choices. The session is scheduled for 12:30-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, in the Pavilions Seminar Room. A question and answer portion will follow the presentation.

“Power Hour: Home Staging & Property Styling Tips & Techniques” will provide insight on how to prepare homes for sale using furniture, art and accessories from 12:30-1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 1, in the Building C Seminar Room, C174.

The Las Vegas Market will also provide the Las Vegas Market Members’ Club, a place for trade association partners to participate in informal chat discussions, meet with buyers or vendors, exchange and provide business information, and educate potential and current members.

"Our trade association, CRAFT, promotes the making, selling and buying of handmade American products, and our members come to Las Vegas Market to find a wide array of textiles, pottery, glass and jewelry, as well as two-dimensional artwork from American makers,” said Diane Sulg, executive director of the CRAFT Retailers’ Association for Tomorrow. “By its nature, handmade work is unique and offers superior craftsmanship. My role is to help the makers of these treasures connect with the buyers who want their inventory to be inventive and distinct. At the Las Vegas Market Members’ Club, our discussions will center on themes that enhance this seller-buyer relationship."
