EXHIBITORS SAY:
“What we find exciting about Fame is that more and more contemporary stores are moving over to the show. Buyers are being cautious, but feel they can spend money comfortably at Fame. Overall, the foot traffic at this edition of Fame was good compared to other trade shows taking place at the same time. The show management is superb; we are all well taken care of and continuously checked upon. A much-appreciated perk for us is the complimentary lunch. We love the fact that we don't have to leave our booth and waste precious time.”
