so you wanna know about trade shows…

June 15th, 2011   /   3 COMMENTS   /   business advice

We’ve all been drooling over the pretties spattered among the fresh batch of up and coming web businesses like Emersonmade, Bando, Bailey Doesn’t Bark, and our own One Sydney Road. But I am happy to announce I have a new crush on who I consider my personal “next big thing” (and new friend), Claudia of Fig. 2 Design Studio.

I adore her fresh take on graphic design, stationery, and color.

Of course, the second I stumbled upon her site I promptly added her blog to my reader. And to my delight she has done an amazing recap of her first time doing the National Stationery Show. The info is real, practical, honest, and helpful for anyone considering trade shows in the future.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is rare to find these types of recaps. So helpful as it just gives an idea of what it is like as a vendor at the show (I’ve gone before to scope out product with work).
