Testimonials

The West Coast Christmas Show has been the best attended and best run holiday market I have participated in. Heather, you, Naomi and George do an excellent job at keeping us organized and bring in a great crowd of holiday shoppers!  Thank you for all your hard work at making this such a successful event!!  I will definitely sign up for a spot at the 2018 Christmas Show.
Margaret Shachtay/Glow Lanterns

We enjoyed a great show at the Tradex & had wonderful response from the people attending. So much so that we are wondering if our booth could be enlarged for next year? We feel we need to have a bigger display of our items as we sold out. Although we did take orders but as we know people like to walk away with the item in their hand. Thank you to all for a great show.

I had my best show ever in BC or AB so I am pleased plus it was lots of fun. Thank you for doing a great job all round. I will be recommending the West Coast Christmas show at Tradex to fellow artists in the coming year.

It was an awesome show for us also. We almost doubled our sales from the year before. We would like to sign up for next year. We are introducing a new knife next year and we would like to get an additional booth for this knife also.
Rick Perkins/Rhineland Cutlery

I had loads of compliments this year from both visitors and vendors, which I really appreciated. I noticed attendance was up, especially on the Friday evening. My sales were up a little bit too – which is a definite change on most other shows the past few months, which have been having an off year for many of us out there. So whatever you did for marketing, keep it up!
