"Vanguards Gallery provided an excellent opportunity to showcase our collection in an ideal setting and be personally introduced to buyers and press we would otherwise not have had the chance to meet at other shows. The space was laid out well and the central location ensured it was a focal point of the show. We are satisfied that our participation succeeded in raising the profile and building awareness of the brand."

"In short, I have to say after many years of showing pretty much all over the world, that MRket exceeded our expectations superbly. The venue, staff, support and certainly the catering were all first class. Our position was wonderful and the level of buyers was top notch. We made some wonderful connections, wrote orders with some very special customers and left for London tired but very positive."

"Once again the MRket show at the Javits Center was a huge success. As always, the entire MRket show management team was courteous, attentive and extremely helpful. The retailers love the show and feel it is a pleasure to work. Over the last few seasons MRket has become an important show for Stone Rose and we hope that continues well into the future."

"We had a very positive experience at this July’s edition of MRketNY. Between the breadth of new accounts we opened and the ability we had to strengthen relationships with old accounts made for a very successful show. MRket provides an excellent forum for us to showcase our products. The show management team is very friendly, the venue is great and the brands that show in MRket are very complimentary. MRket has definitely emerged as the premier tradeshow for designers and stores alike."

"This past edition of MRket was a great experience for us. We had a great show and well exceeded our expectations. Before the show opened we had 63 confirmed appointments and we ended up seeing over 93 accounts during the three days. The atmosphere at MRket is amazing, comfortable and very easy to work in. I truly appreciate show management’s effort in making MRket such an enjoyable show to be part of. The entire 34 Heritage Team looks forward to the upcoming Las Vegas show."

"MRket more than met our expectations by providing a selling environment that was conducive to buying. Quality retailers from throughout the United States were in attendance and ready to buy. The wide aisles and décor provided a clean and sophisticated shopping venue. The atmosphere was energetic and enhanced by lively music and great food. We were surprised that the amenities even included a barber’s shave and haircut."

"MRket just has an overall positive vibe; we have been exhibiting since the beginning. This past edition in February was an amazing show. The traffic throughout the floor was consistent and retailers were able to come into our booth and sit down, which I feel gives the show a more personal touch."
Allison Basilz
Age of Wisdom, Vernon, CA
"This February edition of MRket has been a busy proposition straight from 8am to 6pm. In addition to the who’s who of retailers seen on the show floor, the vibe is amazing. The retailers are really enjoying the show, which is a very important aspect of our business."

"We had a very successful run at MRket. The quality of the show was tremendous - quality of buyers, quality of vendors, show layout, venue workers, etc. The decor and amenities for buyers provided a great environment for business. Left Coast Tee opened more new accounts than we were expecting at MRket."
Gary Wasserman

"MRket was a great show. I wrote 42 new accounts during the three day span. I found that I had consistent flow of traffic throughout all three days of the show. Age of Wisdom is a more contemporary men's line and I felt we stood out and were able to capture the attention of better men's stores wanting more contemporary product lines. At other shows, we would have blended in.MRket is also a great place for designers just starting out who want to be seen, yet do not have the connections in the specialty market."
