NY INTERNATIONAL GIFT FAIR

Face to Face
For many artists, trade shows are a necessary, interactive, and continual part of the promotional process. They provide opportunities to meet with customers and potential clients face to face. They give a face and a personality to the talents behind the artwork and products that fans have come to adore. The recent NY International Gift Fair gave Karen just such an opportunity. While trade shows are familiar territory for her, she entered this show with a slightly different goal in mind. Her new venture of self-publishing her designs, with the help of Pilgrim Imports’ artisans, was the motivation behind the January gift show.

Excitement’s in the Air
Excited and thrilled with the new designs that she and Pilgrim Imports have been importing, Karen is eager and ready to share her latest creations with buyers, gift shops, and longtime Rossi fans. In an effort to reach the customers who already love the look of natural metal products, Karen set up shop in part of the Pilgrim Imports trade show booth. Pilgrim Imports is known for the charming and beautiful jewelry and ornaments created by their artisans in Thailand. Most recently, Karen and Pilgrim Imports have been working on several new characters, to expand the existing line of Karen Rossi “Flights Au Naturel.” Amongst the new designs are a nurse, a mom-to-be, a couple dancers, and more!
