Houzz Heads to Las Vegas for Winter Market at World Market Center
Palo Alto, California, Jan. 24, 2012 – Houzz, the leading online destination for home design and remodeling, is coming to World Market Center Las Vegas’ Winter Las Vegas Market to connect with the design community through a series of special events. Houzz will be on-site Jan. 30 – Feb. 1 to meet with designers, manufacturers and showrooms, and to share tips for effectively connecting with the Houzz community of more than 2.5 million homeowners and home design enthusiasts.
This event coupled with strong growth for Houzz come on the heels of a recent rise in consumer confidence and renovation investment. According to a Wall Street Journal article published earlier this week, “Americans are stepping up spending on home improvements for the first time in years.”
“We’re looking forward to meeting face-to-face with an amazing community of design professionals during Winter Las Vegas Market,” said Liza Hausman, vice president of marketing at Houzz. “We see this as the perfect opportunity to connect with interior designers, furniture manufacturers and showrooms that are already part of our community, as well as those who are looking to learn more about how they can use Houzz to grow their businesses and build their brands. In addition to being a ubiquitous communication tool for homeowners and professionals, Houzz has become a powerful marketing tool, enabling those in the residential design industry to reach new clients in their own backyards, and around the globe.”
