Just Breathe--Decorative Glass and Surviving in a Down Market

摘要

Economies around the globe are failing (as if I needed to tell you that). The only product that seems immune to the financial crisis these days is a certain canned meat product that is known by all and hated by most. Oddly enough, this product has seen a huge jump in sales of late. If only the same could be said of decorative glass products. In this trying time, we can't be certain where the decorative glass market is headed. What we do know, however, is that the markets will come back as they always do. Construction is not going away because, at the end of the day, people still need spaces to inhabit. What does this have to do with decorative glass and where I am going with this article? Well, first I am going to promote some of the Glass Association of North Americas (GANA) Decorative Division's great work, which may offer an answer to the economic blues. I will then share some inspirational words from industry folks who understand what we need to do in this downturn.
