The market's First Look brand returns on Pinterest this summer with its Ready Your Repin rally. Updates about product intros are available on the First Look Summer 2013 Furniture, Accents and Tabletop & Gifts boards. The product pin on each 2013 board that earns the most Likes and Repins will be announced after the show.
Winners from last season's First Look Ready Your Repin will be presented in a showcase during the summer market in World Market Center Building B.
The market also will host design bloggers who will share with attendees their secrets to social media success and tell how their blogs kept them growing. Crystal Palecek (Gentilello) of Rue Magazine, Ashlina Kaposta of The Decorista, Dallas Shaw of Dallas Shaw, and Cassandra LaValle of Coco+Kelley will present "From Blogs to Businesses" at 1 p.m. Monday, July 29.
