What a week. The 2009 ERA D2C Convention in Las Vegas exceeded all of our expectations, and we want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made it such an incredible experience. From the inventors who pitched their hearts out, to the industry veterans who served on our panels, to every single person who stopped by Booth #501 — thank you.

We’re also thrilled to share that Hamlin took home an ERA award this year. This recognition from the Electronic Retailing Association is a tremendous honor and a testament to the hard work and innovation that the entire team has poured into the direct response space. It’s humbling to be acknowledged by the very industry leaders we’ve admired and worked alongside for years.

The connections made at this year’s convention remind us why we do what we do. Livemercial was built on the belief that great products deserve great exposure, and events like the ERA D2C bring together the people who make that happen — from product developers and marketers to media buyers and fulfillment houses. The direct-to-consumer industry is evolving rapidly, and it’s exciting to be at the center of that evolution.

We’re heading back to Valparaiso energized and ready to put all of the ideas and partnerships from the convention into action. If we connected at the show and you’d like to follow up, don’t hesitate to reach out. And if you missed us this year, mark your calendar for next year’s ERA D2C — we’ll be there with something even bigger.
