Several exhibitors from the 2015 International Home + Housewares Show are being featured on “The Big Pitch,” a new TV program from Kevin Harrington of “Shark Tank” fame.
Harrington and his crew filmed product pitches from 25 exhibitors during the Home + Housewares Show last March in Chicago and then selected 11 that were the best-of-the-best, according to “Big Pitch” producers. The program airs on the Fox Business Network.
“Because the International Home + Housewares Show is not open to the public, programs such as ‘The Big Pitch’ provide consumers with a glimpse of the new products they will be seeing at retail and help create a demand for innovative housewares items. Consumers can also find emerging housewares trends and the latest products from our exhibitors on TheInspiredHome.com, our consumer-focused website,” said Phil Brand, president and CEO of the International Housewares Association, which owns and operates the Show.
The first Housewares Show program aired July 25 and included FlexiSnake Inc., Handle Hands, Work Safe Technology Corp. and Brod & Taylor. The next program will air Saturday, Aug. 1 at 5:30 p.m. EDT on Fox Business Network and feature eNNOVEA, Rice Cube Pty Ltd., Comadeco Canada Inc., Krevare LLC, L’Chef and Lena Fiore, Inc. dba Toilet Tattoos. Consumers can purchase the products shown via the program’s website or from their local retailers.
“We filmed more than two dozen pitches at the International Home + Housewares Show and saw a remarkable array of products across a number of categories—enough to create two separate episodes of ‘The Big Pitch.’ That’s never happened before, and it’s a testament to the spirit of innovation in this industry and at this Show,” Harrington said.
