Style Spotters to Preview New Products for Spring Market During Google Hangout on March 6

Furniture World News Desk on 2/23/2015

The High Point Market Authority reported that it has teamed up with the Interior Design Community to host the new 2015 team of Style Spotters in a Google Hangout, scheduled to be broadcast live on Friday, March 6, at 4pm (Eastern). The Hangout will preview new products for the upcoming Spring High Point Market, which takes place on April 18-23, 2015.

During the 30-minute discussion, the conversation will focus on new products featured in the Preview Guides, a series of three guides mailed to registrants prior to Market. While these guides will not hit desks until mid-March, advanced digital copies will be available for download at www.highpointmarket.org in advance of the Hangout. The Style Spotters will also discuss their trend predictions and observations and answer questions submitted by live viewers.

The Hangout will be hosted by Laurie Laizure, CEO of CustomizedWalls and Founder of Interior Design Community, www.interiordesigncommunity.com. With over 37,000 members, Interior Design Community is the largest free community of interior designers online. They offer free advice to help design businesses grow through networking, learning, and sharing. The Community began in Google+, but has since expanded to include a website, blog, e-newsletter, and webinars.

Style Spotter Emeritus, Michelle Jennings Wiebe, commented, “This Hangout will encompass lots of exciting firsts. It’s the first time the 2015 Style Spotters team will do something together; the first time we’ve used a Google Hangout for a High Point Market preview; and the first time we’ve teamed up with the Interior Design Community. I’m really looking forward to it!”

After this event concludes, the recorded video will be available for viewing through the High Point Market Authority’s You Tube Channel, as well as on the Interior Design Community’s website.

Several additional opportunities will be available to preview new products in advance of High Point Market. The wildly popular Twitter Chat, scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, at 6:00pm and hosted by Decor Mentor, will unveil two Pinterest boards – one containing all the new product photos received from exhibitors before the deadline and a second curated board of top picks selected by the Decor Mentor team. In addition, look for a new product slideshow on High Point Market’s website and, beginning the week March 9, Rue Magazine will publish a Daily Feature highlighting select new products.
