Testimonials

  OUR EXHIBITORS say it best!

FABULOUS! There was a great turn out and I sold 4 times more than I had anticipated! I have had people reach out that had purchased here wanting additional items. This is one of the best shows I've participated in. There was a good variety of crafts/arts so there was something for every buyer.

Our sales were fabulous! We met so many people, engaged in really thoughtful conversations, and were able to introduce our products to a whole new group of people. This is the third show that we've participated in and it has always been very well attended, and the caliber of artists is always exceptional.

10 - Really great show. I was very pleased with the amount of people attended the event and were there to shop! [Show management] is easy to work with, on top of everything, and easy to get ahold of.

[Number of leads] Excellent. We picked up several new retail accounts this year from the show, and sales were great. At this event, particularly, we talk to so many more people than our social media and in-store sampling events combined.

Quality of the show was great! [The Gift & Art Expo] has a wide variety of high quality & unique vendors.

Joyce Willking
Wildlife Up Close

Great! This was our first event of this size, but it was 2x the sales volume we saw during the summer. There was a perfect balance of different types of vendors. [L&L Exhibition] went above and beyond to support the vendors during the show.

This show had some really good quality vendors. The same quality that I've seen at other events such as Loring, Powderhorn, Little Falls & Stone Arch, which are all well known events in the Minneapolis area. This expo exceeded my expectations in sales. Was most certainly my most successful show to date.

The Gift & Art Expo was excellent! It was organized very well and it had an amazing variety of different vendors. My favorite show to have a booth at so far! Very good! The variety of food, services, products, etc. at this event makes this an event not like many others.

A+, "10." I got value for marketing efforts I couldn't do on my own! Priceless. This was my first show and I'm thrilled at my sales results. I was very impressed and proud that I was part of such a group of high quality artistry! I thought it was very well curated, in variety and in set-up. This is the show (being my first) that has set the standard by which I'll look at all other opportunities-- high and golden!

[The promotional campaign was] excellent! I heard ads on the radio for quite some time leading up to the event and heard from friends and family as well that it was "plastered all over the place." We were very pleased to know the efforts L&L put into promoting the event and encouraging attendance. This was absolutely top notch! We had phenomenal sales! I would highly recommend this show to others.This is one we will not miss! Seriously, this was one of the best shows we have done all year... and we do over 40 shows a year!

There was a good variety and quality items/art. I thought [management] was very good. Communication was great! It was really nice to have management walking around and asking how things were or if vendors needed anything. A top notch team!!
