The Dallas Total Home & Gift Market was a great experience for us at FGmarket.com. We met so many wonderful vendors in-person for the first time ever; we talk to these great folks all day on the phone, but it’s so much different when you actually get to see their happy faces in person!

Today, we want to share some of the photos we captured together with our wholesale vendors at the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market. Check out some of these vendors, from a variety of unique industries, below!

FGmarket: A Wholesale Marketplace You Can Trust

by Leave a Comment

The internet has made it extremely easy for B2B businesses to find wholesale marketplaces and showcase their amazing products to the world.

A wholesale marketplace can be thought of in the same terms as a trade show: you go there to find new and unique products that you want to purchase at wholesale prices to sell to your own customers. FGmarket is just like a traditional trade show, but with one key advantage: we’re always open.

Our website is open 24/7, 365 days a year (366, if we’re talking Leap Years). We host hundreds of unique vendors who have some truly amazing products, and we do it all for a price that’s many times more affordable than the competition.

We could go on and on about our own website and the great features we offer to our vendors, but instead of doing that, we’re going to let other people do it.

If you want to see how well we stack up against our competition, let our friends at DEAR Systems tell you all about us and what we can do for your wholesale business!

Click here to get more information and read their fantastic article about wholesale marketplaces, and let FGmarket help you gain more business in a way that’s both convenient and easy.

The Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017

by Leave a Comment

Did you catch the Solar Eclipse that passed through most of the United States today? It was a breathtaking event and one that won’t happen again in the U.S. for a number of years.

Here at FGmarket and Flower Shop Network, we experienced a stunning view of the solar eclipse, an event where the Earth’s Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and casts a gigantic shadow across the planet.

We want to give a HUGE shout out to our friends at American Paper Optics for providing us with our Eclipse Glasses to view this amazing event.

American Paper Optics is a Memphis, Tennessee-based company that makes all kinds of different fun, stylish, and whimsical glasses. Their Eclipse Glasses are a big hit during celestial events and have been especially popular this year thanks to the U.S. solar eclipse.

American Paper Optics’ Eclipse Glasses meet the Transmission Requirements of ISO 12312-2 filters for direct observation of the Sun, and have a filter rating of E15.

Thanks again to American Paper Optics for the Eclipse Glasses, and we’ll see them again when the next U.S. solar eclipse happens on April 8, 2024.

Patti Jones Retirement Party

by Leave a Comment

Patti Jones is retiring! I don’t know whether to congratulate her and excitedly jump up and down on her behalf or cry and bemoan the fact that we won’t get to see her shining face in the halls anymore. In reality, I’ll probably do a bit of both. Scroll down for some photos of the party and all the hugs and laughter that were shared.

Meet Patti. She doesn’t normally stand around holding delicious cake. That’s something she’s doing for today only.

This is Patti enjoying lunch with her family at the Flower Shop Network offices.

Patti Retirement

A nice, orderly line for the BBQ. It’s obvious they hadn’t tasted it yet. If they had, they would have been knocking each other over and clamoring for all they could fit on their plate … or maybe that was just me.

And here is Patti with her FSN/FGmarket family. A sea of smiling faces.

A little blast from the past of FGmarket hanging on the walls of FSN.

Happy retirement, Patti! We’ll miss you!
