Las Vegas rug exhibitors pleased with pace of business

Las Vegas — Several rug manufacturers at the Las Vegas Market this week were expressing cautious optimism about the business environment for the coming year.

“We’ve seen an uptick in business since the election ended,” said Kami Navid, Jaunty vice president of sales. “And, we’ve had a steady stream of people in our showroom this market.”

Traffic has also been up in the Loloi showroom, according to Aaron Miller, Loloi’s vice president of marketing.

“So far the month of January has been better than normal,” he said. “We are hopeful it will last. But, with the threat of a 10% tariff on all imported goods, including those from India and Turkey, we are getting prepared in case that comes to pass.”

Traffic at the Nourison Home showroom has also picked up since December.

“We’ve been pleasantly surprised at the increase in orders over the past two months,” said Giovanni Marra, marketing and creative leader at Nourison Home.

In the HRI showroom, traffic wasn’t quite as brisk, leaving the company to consider if continuing to show at the Vegas market is still a good option for them.

“We’ve seen several rug companies and other brands make the decision to stop coming to the Vegas market over the past several years. It’s definitely something we’re keeping an eye on,” said Greg Jordt, HRI’s executive vice president of sales and marketing.
