Summer CHA is only 2 days away! Stephanie and her Bella Blvd team left this morning, to make the 1.5 hour drive from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin to Chicago. As soon as they arrive, they will be working like "dogs", preparing the booth for everyone to see! Stephanie will be checking in when she can, and will do her best to get us some behind-the-scenes photos from the show. She will also posting, directly from the show and sharing photos, late on wednesday evening.
They are really looking forward to seeing everyone, when the show starts on Tuesday. The trade shows are some of their favorite times of the year, since that's when they get to interact with all of Bella's awesome customers, fans, the press, and designers too.
For the retailers, they have some great incentives at the Booth, as a "Thank You" for making the trip to Chicago. You will enjoy oodles of inspiration in the freshened up booth display, FREE make n' takes, and show specials and discounts. They will also being having giveaways of adorable water bottles, for customers that place an order at the show (while supplies last).
You can find Bella Blvd at booth #1943.
You can also find our newest catalog supplement HERE.
Bella Blvd will be offering FREE Make N' Takes at the booth (while supplies last), with a different one each day! They love doing the make n' takes, since it gives everyone attending the show the opportunity to play with some of the new collections hands-on, and take back a fun little project/inspiration with them. And hopefully, they will use that to help inspire someone else!
