AFA Exhibits at Hospitality Design Expo 2005 in Las Vegas

The American Flock Association exhibited at the Hospitality Design Expo in Las Vegas May 5-7, 2005. This show provides an excellent opportunity to promote flocked products and educate potential customers about flock. The AFA booth featured flocked blackout drapery, flocked upholstery fabrics, and flocked blankets and showed the flexibility of the technology with materials, color, print, and finishing techniques.

AFA members who staffed the booth were impressed by the quality and level of interest shown by show visitors who stopped by. Visitors to the AFA booth inquired about blackout drapery fabric, upholstery fabrics, flocked blankets, transfers, and flocked wall coverings, and there were also a number who expressed general interest or interest in other applications.

Additional contacts were made with other exhibitors who were interested in flocked fabric or currently carry flocked fabrics in their lines.

Member booth personnel had these comments about the show:

• “HD Expo is an excellent show for our roll-to-roll members. It is well attended and exposes us to a market in which we should have more involvement. …… between attendees and exhibitors HD Expo gives us a good audience.”
• “Location - Location - Location!! We had an excellent location this year which gave us more visibility with the increased traffic. The preferred location … caught the attention of the exhibitors and attendees and encouraged people to stop by and inquire about the flocked products.”
