Serious Buyers
Make 2009 IH+HS
a Success
by Karen Martin, Managing Editor
Retailers searched for new products, rubbed elbows
with celebrity chefs, sought the perfect colors and
bonded with vendors at the 2009 International
Home + Housewares Show held March 22-24 in
Chicago. And, most importantly, early reports
suggest that retailers were ready to buy.
Exhibitors report successes
“Overall, I think it was our best show in the last
five years,” reported Juanita Coumbias,
international sales and marketing director for
Starfrit, a Canadian based distributor and
product developer of kitchenware products.
“I feel the show attracted fewer but more serious
buyers,” said Coumbias. “There were no
browsers. The buyers in attendance were there
to look for something different to offer their
consumers, and I guess we lucked out and had
what they were looking for.”

Specialty Retailers
Face Economic
Challenges with
Upbeat Outlook
by Jenna Crisostomo, Associate Editor
Though today’s economic smog may have
contributed to decreased sales for specialty
retailers, they continue their drive forward.
Not only do they operate their stores, they
focus on the customer, share product
knowledge and most importantly, keep positive
and energetic attitudes throughout it all.
“I think the specialty retailers are all over the
place with how they are doing,” said Karen
Skalicky, store manager/buyer with Creative
Kitchen. “Some (retailers) are doing good,
some even and some not so good,” she added.
Skalicky’s been with the Fargo, N.D.-based
company for 20 years.
Skalicky said the gourmet kitchen store “has
grown significantly” since its inception in 1976,
and “in 2008 we were happy to grow in what
appeared to be a difficult economy,” she said.

Emeril Lagasse Endorses
C.M. International’s Smoker Bags
Colorado Springs, CO — World renowned Chef
Emeril Lagasse has found a new way to “kick it up
a notch” with clean and simple smoked meals on the
oven, grill or campfire with C.M. International’s
Smoker Bags. Emeril Lagasse announced a
non-exclusive agreement with C.M. International
endorsing the Smoker Bag, an all-in-one product
that adds natural alder or hickory smoke flavor to
just about any food.
“This is a very exciting time in our industry,” said
Chris Malone, C.M. International’s vice president, “as
the home chef is expanding their palate and becoming
more and more interested in replicating the ‘high end’
dining experience at home.” Malone explained that
Emeril was impressed not only by the smoker bag’s
simplicity, but also by the fact that the bags use only
all-natural hickory and alder wood chips.
The patented Smoker Bag, manufactured in Finland,
can be used in the oven, grill or on a campfire. It
is constructed of three layers of aluminum foil, with
all natural wood chips and hardwood syrup between
the bottom two layers. Tiny perforations in the
middle layer allow the smoke to flow upwards into
the top part of the bag, infusing the natural smoke
flavor into the food as it cooks. The Smoker Bag
enables the home chef to get that restaurant taste,
without additional salt or fat.
Smoker Bags are sold in a number of gourmet,
sporting goods and grocery stores and on many
major Web sites. For more information, go
to www.cameronsproducts.com or call toll free
888-563-0227.

Wilton Armetale announced a licensing
arrangement with Juan Vela to bring new
fashion into the company’s expanding
categories. Juan Vela has designed top
sellers from companies ranging from
Faberge Eggs for The Franklin Mint to
Greeting Cards for Pumpernickel Press.
“The time is right for a new direction and
fashion forward infusion of style that Juan
Vela brings to the table,” remarked Wilton
Armetale President & CEO, Ken Lefever.
“Mr. Vela will work closely with the design
team to make unique patterns, items and
themes come to life in the Armetale metal
category as well as the Bello Vaso glassware
and Motif Ceramicware.” Vela has worked
with many other companies in the fashion,
tableware and home industries. He stated,
“My attitude towards drawing and painting
is to create something I share with others.
The purpose of my art is to communicate
my love for Nature and the protection of
the environment.” According to Lefever,
Wilton Armetal has received 24 designs
from Vela and they have already selected
four to be put into production. Lefever
said in a prepared statement, “Typically
this would take us many months, even years
to pull together. Mr. Vela has accelerated
this process exponentially, giving Wilton
Armetale a speed-to-market advantage. We
are committed to diversity and adding value
to the Wilton collector and Mr. Vela's
approach to design couldn’t be more
appropriate for the company’s future.” New
patterns and items will be available in the
fall of 2009.
The School of Culinary Arts at Kendall
College participated in a food styling
competition sponsored by American
Metalcraft on March 12. Twelve students
4
in the Mignardise/Plated Desserts class
submitted nineteen entries plated on a
variety of American Metalcraft stainless
steel, ceramic, and porcelain serving trays
and bowls. The challenge was to select an
American Metalcraft platter or bowl and
creatively design a presentation with mini
candies or desserts that would most
dramatically complement the serving piece.
Each participant was given one hour to
style. Students were judged on the
presentation’s movement, creativity, layout,
height, color, and balance. First Place
Winner, Leila Manoochehry, received $500
for her “Cheeseburger in Paradise” entry of
chocolate confection. Bisera Urdarevik took
2nd place and received $200 for her “Joan
Miró Brownie” presentation styled after
the famous Spanish artist. Both winners
were presented with checks from American
Metalcraft's President David Kahn.
For the first time, Butterball has put its
brand on a pair of turkey fryers – and

and a design that meets Underwriters

indoors. It can fry turkeys up to 14 pounds
– enough for up to eight to 10 people –
using one-third less oil than conventional
turkey fryers. “Butterball turkey fryers
will create new family traditions around
the kitchen table throughout the year,”
said Masterbuilt CEO John McLemore.
“This sets the standard for fried turkey
prepared with a combination of safety
and convenience. The only things missing

shows!” Perkins along with Production

Thanksgiving and deep frying continues
to be a popular cooking method,” said
Bill Klump, Butterball senior vice
president, Marketing. “We’re excited to
partner with Masterbuilt on a product that
provides a safe and easy way to prepare a
picture-perfect turkey this holiday season.”

line of cooking utensils, received a utility
patent for the foodloop® and foodloop®
mini on February 23. The foodloop,

granted this utility patent for our flagship
product that started it all,” said Kraigh
Stewart, co-founder of fusionbrands. “We

design or the mechanics that makes it hold.
Now, with the utility patent we are pleased
to have ownership and title to these one of
a kind features.”

From the Publisher
Housewares Review
The sun was shining in Chicago as we gathered there in March
for the International Home + Housewares Show, and inside
McCormick Place, the view was just as bright, with 436 exhibitors
there who were new to the show and an outstanding array of
gorgeous new products to see. Overall, the event and the business
that came out of it gave us all good reason to hope that 2009 will
see some economic recovery and that the housewares industry will
be leading the way.

Some things we noticed on the show floor: the greening of America
L e e M . O s e r is a trend that’s only growing stronger, and the housewares industry
is leading in a number of ways, from products designed with newer
and greener materials to factories that are using less energy and generating less waste. More
glamorously, we saw a wider diversity in beautiful colors, with color helping to drive design.
Gone are the days when American consumers had a choice of harvest gold, avocado green
or white. If you think back 20 years, that’s how it was — every year there was “the” color,
and every manufacturer offered items in the same limited palette because consumers wanted
their colors to match throughout their homes.
65 W. Commercial St., Suite 207
Portland, Maine 04101
No more. We’ve decided that too much color-matching leads to boredom, and this year’s
Home + Housewares Show certainly showed that manufacturers are paying attention. As
we went from booth to booth at the show, we saw that each company had designed products
with a unique color palette. Designs and colors reflected multicultural aesthetics. Bland
and boring are out; integrating complex colors into design decisions is in.
[tel] (207) 775-2372
All of that fits into the economic reality that faces us. Historically, in tougher economies,
people have stayed home more. This year, they’ll be looking for accessible and affordable
products to help them make their time at home enjoyable and creative. They’ll be buying
new bakeware and going to the grocery to buy the ingredients to bake their birthday cakes
instead of just ordering them from the bakery. They’ll look for new dishware instead of
remodeling their entire kitchens, and they’ll be looking to their specialty foods retailers
to supply quality ingredients for memorable dinners at home instead of relying so heavily
on restaurant chefs to supply the food for wonderful evenings.

From the Editor
Burrowing — we are now officially “burrowing,” according to Lee
Eiseman, the housewares industry-guru on color trends and speaker
at the 2009 International Home + Housewares Show (IH+HS).
Eiseman, an annual headliner at the IH+HS, is known for
explaining the socio-economic reasons behind our color choices as
well as other consuming behavior.
Karen Martin
The evolution from cocooning, to hiving, to burrowing appears
clear — the more nervous we are about the world as a whole, the
more we retrench and focus on our homes. I suppose this is good
news for the housewares industry — but I’m not sure we’ve hit the
right note for attracting the burrowers into the marketplace.
At the January shows, AmericasMart and the New York International Gift Fair, I
heard people talking about basics — the buyers were looking for basics such as good kitchen
prep items.
At the IH+HS show, I saw another version of the “basics.” If we think of comfort foods,
pack lunches and pot lucks as “back to basics,” there’s a whole subset of the market
developing to serve these interests. Innovative lunch carriers, bakeware and creative
carriers (carrying everything from cupcakes to complete meals to the neighbor’s house)
found their way into many of the booths.
A company’s environmental statement — whether in product, materials or process — is
another version of the back to basics story. Products that have environmental impact
accountability are becoming a “basic” in that the marketplace is expecting these options
in every type of a product. And, according to a trend panel at the IH+HS, the marketplace
is expecting to to find these options without the premium prices.
Over the next few months, we’ll see if this “back to basics” trend will lure people out of
the their burrows — sorry, I mean homes. In the mean time, is there any hope of
comparing our consuming behavior to anything other than insects?

company specializing in the crafting
of precision thin metal parts for home

the original Microplane did not
find its way into the kitchen until 1994.

Most recently, Microplane has entered
the Personal Care arena with its

Special Candy Apple Red Stand Mixer
Marks KitchenAid’s 90th Anniversary
Chicago, IL — KitchenAid marks its
90th anniversary with a special edition
stand mixer in Candy Apple Red. As
a tribute to earlier models, the new 5quart Artisan Series stand mixer will
include a clear glass bowl in place of the
stainless steel bowl currently provided,
along with a 90th anniversary insignia on
the mixer’s trim band.
“In addition to being the product that
started it all for KitchenAid, the stand
mixer remains the standard for everything
we create,” noted Debbie O’Connor,
senior manager of Brand Experience for
KitchenAid. “We’ve never lost sight of
the brand’s original guiding principle
that everything carrying the KitchenAid
name should make time spent in the
kitchen more enjoyable.”
According to O’Connor, the KitchenAid
brand name was born when wives of
company executives were asked for help in
naming the stand mixer and one replied,
“I don’t care what you call it, I know it’s
the best kitchen aid I’ve ever had.”
Also as part of its anniversary celebration,
KitchenAid has released a new cookbook,
KitchenAid Best Loved Recipes (Publications
International, Ltd.), that includes many
recipes for the stand mixer. These include
everything from making bread dough
with the mixer’s dough hook and
homemade sausage with its optional
sausage stuffer attachment to creating
homemade lasagna noodles with an
available pasta maker attachment set
Currently available at major retailers
nationwide, the book was created to “give
cooks the sense of accomplishment that
comes from cooking from scratch at
home,” said O’Connor.

2003 and again in June 2008), uses
metal mesh scouring pads rather
than bristles. The rugged stainless
steel mesh pads conform to any
grill grate size and spacing and
work well on all non-Teflon
surfaces,
including
porcelain
whereas brass bristle brushes
will clog with debris and wear
prematurely due to the soft nature
of the brass. The 18" long Grill Wizard
is rugged and dishwasher safe.

Since the glaze is so hard, any
discoloration from the chemicals that
are emitted with charcoal grilling
should be removable with any store

At the Chicago Housewares Show,
Pillivuyt introduced a new concept
for the U.S. market–grilling with Pillivuyt.
Aside from the excellent cooking
properties that make it “grill-worthy,”
it has the distinct advantage of being
“table-worthy” as well. Instead of

the new line is able to withstand high

The task of preparing fresh pineapple
just became simple with a new

produces two results: beautiful,
symmetrical pineapples slices for
summer cocktails and summer
grilling, and it leaves a festive, intact
pineapple shell ready to be used as
a serving bowl for fruit or salads. The
bottom rim of the heavy-duty shaft is
very sharp and slides through a
pineapple removing the core while
the solid stainless steel blade slices
through the flesh of the pineapple
with each twist. The open ergonomic
design of the handle makes it easy to
grasp and twist the tool into a
pineapple and to then extract the
tool removing a stack of perfect fruit
rings. This takes very little elbow grease
as the tool moves smoothly coring
and slicing as it goes. The stainless
steel Rösle Pineapple Cutter is

worthwhile. We never even
considered not going to the
show. In a matter of days
we were able to interface
with many people. This is
a major event for us,”
Booth added.
Escali’s President and
CEO, Theo Prins, echoed
previous comments, “The
show was great for us.
We fortunately had a
good location.” Prins
agreed with others that
the traffic felt like it
was down, but those
in
attendance
were
serious buyers.
Paula Deen visits with Theo Prins and Julian Bell
at the Escali Booth.
IH+HS (cont. from page 1)
Was it luck, or perhaps good strategy?
When asked about Starfrit’s strategy going
into the show, Coumbias explained, “We
went in with the same strategy that we
developed at the introduction of our Starfrit
line: great value at a fair price. This being
said, the economic climate did make this
strategy more relevant.”
Monika Schnacke, Frieling USA’s chief
executive officer, employed an interesting
and, apparently successful strategy for the
show. “Our mindset was to simply pass
on the recession, and I am pleased to say
the response was fabulous,” explained
Schnacke. Her definition of passing on the
recession was to bring some 160 new
products to the show.
“Such a strong strategy was certainly a
bit unorthodox, especially in this climate,
but we went into the show better
prepared than ever,” said Schnacke.
“Retailers recognized that Frieling has
something for everybody, at all price points
and in various product categories.”
Frieling’s success at the IH+HS show bodes
well for other shows in 2009. She
commented, “The success of the IHA
Show prompted us to sign up for the San
Francisco Gourmet Show in August.”
In the Electrics divison, Bill Booth, vice
president, sales and marketing for Toastess
International was also having a good show.
Booth may have benefitted from the change
in the line-up in the Lakeside exhibit hall.
Some of the larger vendors in the electrics
category did not exhibit this year.
Regarding this change up, Booth
commented, “We had meetings with some
people that we probably would not have
met with before, and we had more time to
spend with people that we usually are in
front of.”
About the show in general, Booth was clear.
“There is no question that it was
16
Prins also had some
celebrity star-power drop
by the booth. Paula Deen stopped
and chatted with Prins. Deen is no
stranger to Escali scales; she picked
this brand of scale as one of her favorite
kitchen items last year.
Chantal, the Texas-based cookware,
bakeware and accessories manufacturer,
embraced the new frugality of consumers
with a slight twist. Kristen Kauffman,
SPM Communications, said, “With
Chantal, we stayed on strategy. We are
not a budget line, but we are looking at
‘elegant frugality’.” She added, “You
don’t want to bring a paper plate
wrapped in foil to the neighbor’s pot luck;
you want to bring an elegant, functional
item like Chantal’s new Make & Take™
collection.” Kauffman wants consumers
to know that you can be frugal with style.
While these veterans of the show did
well, Leslie Haywood was also having a
pretty good show for a newcomer.
Attending her first show as founder and
president of Charmed Life Products,
LLC, Haywood’s one word summary of
the show was “fabulous!” Charmed Life
Products produces dime-sized grill
charms, designed by Haywood, to be
placed in food before grilling. When
asked about her strategy going into
the show, she said, “I just knew I needed
to sell sell sell.” Haywood commented,
“I was amazed at the connections and
relationships that are built at the show.
I hired a whole fleet of sales reps and
learned where to go for my next ‘big
idea.’ Going is invaluable!”
New products reflect
“burrowing” consumers
Lee Eiseman, the International
Housewares Association’s color
and trend expert, characterized the
current mood of the consumer as
“burrowing.” During her remarks on
consumer trends to a ballroom packed
with show attendees on March 23, she
explained that consumers are retrenching
deeper into their homes and seeking old
fashioned comfort in response to an outof-control world.
Another of Mirabile’s top trends focused on
environmental accountability. Consumers
are clear. He said, “They want you to have
ecologically sound products without charging
more.” He added that consumers will
demand the environmental accountability
going forward, so manufacturers better figure
out how to deliver the product without
charging a premium.
New products on display at the show aimed
for the heart of these comfort-seeking,
burrowing consumers. With a back-tobasics theme, catch words such as value,
frugal and environmentally responsible
were heard throughout the show.
The value side of the equation appeared
as manufacturers refined their good,
better, best lines for distribution. But
manufacturers also reached out to
consumers with new approaches to
comfort foods. Chicago Metallic had the
meatball baker; Progressive International
introduced the collapsible cupcake carrier;
Toastess International reinvented the
slow cooker with its new Multipot;
and Heartland Bakeware showed
off the new Convertible
AireGourmet™ cake pan.
J.K. Adams exemplified this trend with
their new Forestry Stewardship Council
(FSC) certification. In 2008 the company
was certified under the chain of custody
certification program of the FSC. The FSC
is a worldwide program with the mission
to ensure forestry practices are
environmentally responsible, socially
equitable and economically viable.

Eiseman presented Pantone’s® color forecast
for 2010 including eight palettes:
Greenmarket, Resourceful, Transformations,
Ambiance, Gatherings, Galaxy, High
Definition and Pastiche. The color
combinations for each palette can be found
on the Pantone Web site, www.pantone.com.
While Eiseman tries to steer the audience
away from the idea that there is one “in”
color for housewares in any given
year, she pointed out that Pantone®
did select Mimosa Yellow as their
color of the year. Yellow is a
hopeful, inspirational color choice,
noted Eiseman.
Chantal used the Mimosa Yellow on their Bridge Teapot.

Yellow might be a great way to sum up
the 112th annual IH+HS. Retailers and
exhibitors were hopeful and inspired by the
show. Hopefully, a little green will find its
way into the pockets of both retailers and
manufacturers as consumers are lured into
stores by fresh, value-oriented products.

SPECIALTY (cont. from page 1)
For 2009, Creative Kitchen has maintained
its optimistic path, said Skalicky, but in
addition to the challenging economy, “there
are many factors that play into that
(decreased sales), not only the economy
but weather has contributed to a lot of
the low sales.
“...March with weather issues—snowstorms
and now flooding,” she added, “has kept us
searching for new ways to reach our
customers and continue our positive year.”
Located in Fargo’s West Acres Mall,
Creative Kitchen is owned by Claudia
English and Mark Sinner. The store houses
hard goods such as cutlery, cookware, linens,
gadgets, electrics, cookbooks and more.
Agreeing with Skalicky that specialty
retailers’ sales have decreased, Robert
Coviello, founder of the Rochester, N.H.based HTI Buying Group, said, “I think
right now they (retailers) are basically flat
or a little bit down, depending on parts of
the country. Some are doing better than
others, but the general attitude is positive.
“They’re doing everything to keep retail
floors full and are being smiley with
customers,” he added. “They’ll make it
during the recession, and probably most
agree that were looking at a 2010 recovery.”
Coviello, a housewares industry expert with
25 years of experience, said one of the
common problems that specialty retailers
have in the industry “is the real need by
most to find a source of information on
how to successfully run and manage their
businesses, and in the technical sides of it,
18
meaning, watching their performance and
even how to buy effectively and correctly.”
Staying on top of product assortments and
keeping up informative product knowledge
are key to staying competitive in the
industry, said Coviello. “Right now, my
recommendation is to keep your store front
full, increase your buying frequency,” he
said. “The most important thing is the
store has to remain full, bright and cheery.”
Coviello also suggested that specialty
retailers should be marketing aggressively.
He said, “In this (economic) environment,
the last thing you want to do is to not
reach out to your customers.”
Creative Kitchen uses different forms
to market itself including print, HTI
catalog, television advertisements, banners,
demonstrations and expo events, said
Skalicky. “We work very hard to market
Creative Kitchen, be competitive with
prices, carry outstanding, unique products,
train our associates and continually analyze
how we are doing,” she said, “we are
always learning.”
In addition to marketing, Creative Kitchen
runs its inventory “very tight, always,”
added Skalicky, “and it is based on where
sales are at or will be in the next month—
companies are shipping very quick and for
the most part (the shipments are) pretty
complete which helps when estimating
inventory needs.”
Janis Johnson, president of the Gourmet
Catalog Buying Group in Dallas noted that
specialty retailers are “challenged to remain
competitive on price and product.
“They must differentiate themselves from
big boxes and chains,” she added. “They
must carry products that are recognized
by brand, as well as products that appeal
to customers in their specific region
and community.”
“How they are doing psychologically is a
fair question,” she added, “…They are
somewhat philosophical about business and
do expect an upturn.”
Johnson also said that specialty retailers are
looking towards more frequent inventory
orders and are succeeding by “learning
everything there is to know about the products
they sell and by conveying that information
to their staff and their customers.”
Specialty retail store owners range in
experience. Johnson said, “Many members
are older, experienced retailers and have
seen ups and downs over the years. They
are prepared to weather the storm. Younger
retailers have a drive that helps them
overcome the gloom and doom that’s been
spreading through every news channel.”
Just as Creative Kitchen markets itself,
Johnson added retailers also take part in instore promotions, cooking schools, product
demonstrations, community involvement
and the willingness to lead the way with
products new to the industry, in order to
maintain success as a specialty retailer.
Fighting the current economic weather
with competitive pricing on products,
superior product knowledge, strategic
marketing and a smile, specialty retailers
will continue their strong push forward.
Specialty retailers “are the heart and the
backbone of commerce in this country,”
said Johnson.
The use of catalogs as a marketing tool, said
Johnson, has been used by smaller specialty
retail stores “as a thank you to the special
customers. Very personal, the catalogs are
excellent traffic builders.”
“Right now, my
recommendation is to
keep your store front
full, increase your
buying frequency. The
most important thing
is the store has to
remain full, bright and
cheery.”
Johnson noted that attending industry shows is
also a great way to market as a specialty retailer.
“Attending shows folds into marketing because
there is no better way for a store owner to
become energized than by attending a market,”
she said. “They will see vendors, view both new
and existing product and have a chance to share
thoughts with other specialty retailers.”
In agreement with Coviello that yes,
specialty store sales reported are “flat, with
a few showing declines from last year,”
Johnson said the one thing that remains
constant is that “most are very positive.
