The Wellborn KBIS booth was built on many early mornings and late night coffee runs. The Wellborn truck drivers ventured out to Las Vegas two weeks before the show, and the display crew followed right behind, flying out of Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta. It took countless hours to perfect every detail on the sets making them show ready for the excited viewers who were eagerly waiting for opening day. The marketing department arrived a few days before the show to set up accessories, prop the booth, and assemble the media kits and flyers. After the setup was complete, it was time to get a good night’s rest for day 1 of KBIS, which started at 9 a.m. sharp!
With the vast amount of dealers, designers, builders and suppliers, Wellborn’s booth was crowded from 9-5. Various companies and customers viewed our new products and designs, and Wellborn Cabinet was ready with numerous new displays that presented several design trends for 2016 and 2017.
With 531 exhibitors this year, people scrambled from booth to booth to see all of the latest products and designs in the kitchen and bath industry.
We, as exhibitors, were just as excited as the consumers to showcase our new products and answer the question we love to be asked, “Why Wellborn?”
It was invigorating to watch our guest’s eyes light up as we presented our new products. In addition to our new designs, we were also able to debut our new full access frameless line, Aspire Cabinetry.
Wellborn Cabinet, Inc. presented many new products, lines and technology to KBIS this year, while obtaining encouraging feedback from our audiences. We envision endless opportunities for the future and hope that you will join us for the ride!
If you did not get a chance to attend KBIS, we will help guide you step by step through our 2016 KBIS booth! Enjoy the beauty inside Wellborn!
