DC attracts one of my favorites …The Fancy Food Show
Posted by Becky Briggs on 7/11/2011
WOW…Last
week we celebrated the 4th of July and this week we celebrate one of
my favorite activities, The Fancy
Food Show. Usually this occurs
in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, but this year the Nation’s premier
Specialty Food and Beverage Marketplace is in DC.
Let
me explain…
180,000 specialty food and beverage vendors and 2400 exhibitors from 80
countries around the world converge under one roof to show us, the 25,000
buyers what is new, award-winning, and special about their products. It
is like the world’s fair - full of fun and energy and excitement. The most incredible products from all over
the world are on display with tastings of each offered throughout the day.
This
is how I make buying decisions for Our Gift Biz. Attending these shows allows me to meet the
owners of the companies and creators of these products and learn about
them. I enjoy finding out why they
started their businesses, the ingredients they use, and what makes them
different. The number of products is
astounding! The number of vendors to
meet can be overwhelming! However, the
bottom line is that we know first-hand about the food lines we carry. By learning about the vendors and their
stories, we are confident that we are offering our clients and customers
premier product lines. This ensures our gifts and baskets truly are first
class.
When
you buy from Our Gift Biz you are sure to get the ultimate gift
experience - starting with an incredible product and
ending with an amazing design!
Anything less just won’t do.
