SURFACES. It is, without a doubt, the mother-of-all trade shows in the flooring industry. To say it’s a “big deal” would be a laughable understatement. It’s where, every year, Mannington introduces their newest collections to retailers across the country. Think they wanted something special for it? Does a Mannington floor make a room?

Spencer Advertising and Marketing client Mannington Mills was recently honored with five Dealer Choice Awards for new consumer introductions at Surfaces in Las Vegas, the leading floor covering trade show for retailers, distributors, installers and designers. The awards were for the introductions of new hardwood, laminate, resilient and luxury vinyl tile products, as well as for the display of a newly-introduced resilient product.
All work and no play affects Spencer’s creativity. So to jumpstart our senses and celebrate a successful year, we boarded an early bus to NYC for a day of shopping, sightseeing and more.
Small groups formed at the SoHo drop-off point and proceeded to explore according to adventure and map literacy levels. For several free hours, we visited shops, museums, eateries and who-knows-what-else until reuniting in midtown for a taping of the Late Show with David Letterman.
