We asked three consumer executives who had just returned from two important January 2024 tradeshows, to share their observations (on product trends, consumer behaviors, sourcing-, buyer-, and marketing shifts) and their outlook for 2024. 

Laurie Gilner (President/CEO of Transpac Brands and exhibitor at Atlanta Market among others), Rick Haase (Founder/CEO of Patina Stores and its chief buyer), and Bob Watson (SVP of Link Companies representing dozens of brands that make their way to retail shelves) shared their thoughts, discussed, and provided insights that can help other consumer product leaders plan and optimize their 2024 growth strategy. 

Growth never happens in a vacuum. All of us together are smarter than any of us alone.
