Three Big Awards at the National Hardware Show
The three day National Hardware Show now in its 64th year, took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center May 7-9. The show attracts a worldwide audience and is attended by over 27,000 industry professionals.
We launched our new product, the LintAlert at the show where we had a small 10x10 booth. For almost 3 years we have been actively working and tweaking the product, website, marketing and packaging for this one time debut. The anticipation, excitement and stress grew daily as the show date approached.
Like most shows, they incorporate several awards for innovative products. Here are the awards LintAlert® won.
- First Place: New Product World Hardware & Tools, Plumbing & Electrical, Storage & Organization, Homewares, Paint & Accessories
- First Place: New Product Launch Spotlight - products that have no pre-sells, no pre-negotiations or no exclusive deal.
- Top Honors: North American Retail Hardware Association awards 30 products from the thousands on display with the Retailers' Choice Awards.
