Welcome to IHA’s Blog

November 3, 2009

Author: Phillip Brandl, President, IHA

phil_LogoWelcome to the International Housewares Association Blog! This new addition to IHA’s website is to keep you informed through social media. IHA bloggers will post entries weekly on topics such as current housewares trends in the industry, notes from around the globe, tips for having a successful International Home + Housewares Show, tidbits about the Show and a behind the scenes view of the Show. We want our members and industry participants to know what we know, what we are working on and what we are planning in the future.

In addition to this blog, the International Housewares Association has initiated pages and groups with various social networking sites including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. We have also launched two Wikipedia pages, one focusing on IHA and the other on the International Home + Housewares Show. We encourage you to take a look at our Wiki pages to get an understanding of our purpose and mission. Just click on the links below:
