Definite Uptick for Higher-End Business At JCK and Couture June 10, 2010 (0 comments)
Las Vegas—Following Las Vegas shows one year ago that many vendors reported were off as much as 50-70% versus 2008, the 2010 editions of Luxury By JCK, the JCK Show, the Prestige Promenade within JCK (collectively reporting a 20% increase in buyer attendance) and the Couture Show were consistently reported to have exceeded expectations by many exhibitors. Following a strong Centurion 2010 Show in early February, the success of these June shows for exhibitors serves as strong reinforcement that a resurgence of the higher-end fine jeweler is underway, leaving strengthening feelings of optimism in its wake. There was also consensus that while high-end jewelers and vendors are not out of the woods yet that they are definitely heading in the right direction. There was further agreement that a solid 2010 Holiday Season was expected.
