The NBM Show Preview: Indianapolis
The sublimated cups business Ra- chel Stuckey thought she’d check into in 2007 for a part-time home-
based business, is, in a word, booming.
Her Hobbs, N.M.-based Awesome Mugs
& More is spilling out of the spare bed-
room into half, then all, of her husband
Loren’s workshop. She now has her
sights on a storefront, where you can
bet she’ll be offering more than subli-
mated coffee cups.
Do the research
Stuckey became interested in sublimation through a friend who was running a
small sublimated coffee cup business, but
preparing to move. When she offered to
sell the sublimation equipment, Stuckey
decided to do some research.
She knew of the NBM Show through
relatives but didn’t really know much about
these events and decided to have a look for
herself. “I attended and saw a whole wide
world opening up at the first show,” she
says. “I’ve gone to six now over the past
three years. I get something different
from each show.”
During her first year traveling to
these tradeshows, she reports invest-
ing time attending seminars and
workshops. In the past year, she
spent more time on the exhibit floor.
“There’s a lot of information in seminars and workshops,” she points out,
“but even more on the exhibit
floor. So now I’m allowing myself
more floor time. It’s a balance.”
