JIS reports strong results for October show

October 15, 2009

Miami Beach, Fla.--Jewelers International Showcase (JIS) has completed its newly formatted, five-day Miami Beach show, and organizers have reported excellent activity on the sales floor.

Buying at all price points, from high-end designers to competitive everyday jewelry, was strong at the Oct. 1-5 show, organizers said, with many exhibitors commenting on the high buying levels as well as the volume of the show.

In terms of attendance, there was a dramatic increase in buyers from international firms, with the international sector now approaching 38 percent of all firms in attendance at JIS' October shows. Central and South American buying firms for the first time increased beyond JIS' well-established attendance from Caribbean firms.

As for the Thursday start date, JIS organizers said many buyers expressed their delight with the new date, leveling it on par with the traditional Sunday "Best Show Day." The results have JIS and many of its exhibitors considering revamping future JIS show days, perhaps permanently increasing the October shows to five days and the January shows to four days.

The next JIS show is scheduled for Jan. 30-Feb. 1, 2010, followed by April 10-12, 2010, both at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, Fla.
