Bad weather . . . bad weather . . . bad weather!  That’s all we heard about.

But it’s true!  The furniture industry received quite a spanking from Mother Nature, this past winter and we all felt it, furniture shows, exhibitors, buyers and their customers. Even with a slow economy buyers still need to replenish and re-stock.  Therefore, it didn’t matter what you did, who you are or how much you invested, you have absolutely no control over Mother Nature’s wrath! 

Good News! From the first day of the February Edison Market moving forward, our office has gotten calls from buyers to pre-register, exclaiming needs for merchandise and their disappointment with the weather conditions, preventing them from their normal bi-annual restocking.  To further that thought, from these buyer calls, participating exhibitors at our August 3-4-5, 2014, Edison Furniture & Accessory Market will benefit from the needs of the NY, NJ, PA buyers.

Better News!!  Those companies who wish to expose, expand and possibly explode their product sale, still have an opportunity for a really nice space selection.  You will see those buyers who for whatever reason (cost, time, business demands, etc.) cannot travel to the markets far from home/business.

Best News!!!  If you select your space today, you would have the opportunity to be a part of all of our advertisement for the show(s), i.e., receive free buyer invitations (all you desire), send us a photo, ad, or market special and you will have an e-mail blast dedicated to your company, along with a product photo in our direct mailing campaign AND your company’s name mentioned in our many mailings and advertisements!

Whew!  We do a lot for a nominal fee, with no additional charge to you and we’ve been doing it for 62 years.

POTENTIAL EXHIBITORS: Our Long Beach Market is only days away, May 21 & 22.  If you are contemplating taking space … NOW IS THE TIME!!!  But, we only have a small amount of spaces remaining.  Don’t wait any longer!  Call us, today.  Speak to Sherry for the best available spaces!

BUYERS: Currently, we are mailing badges to those who have pre-registered for our May, Long Beach Event, however, to ensure your badges get to you on time, PRE-REGISTER TODAY.  Tuesday, May 13, is cut off day, you will then have to register, on site, at the Long Beach Convention Center, 300 E Ocean Blvd, Hall A, Long Beach 90802.

You can reach us by phone: 305.792.9990 • Fax: 305.792.9898 • email: info@kemexpo.com • web: www.kemexpo.com

Housing, Autos and Retail on the move

Happy to read the USA Today article on page 4B with information that the economy is continuing to gain strength.

It was reflected at the Karel Exposition Furniture & Accessory Markets held just a few weeks ago in Edison, New Jersey and Central Florida.

Both shows had excellent attendance and many of the stores who had low inventories came to buy and buy they did.

Within five days after the Edison, New Jersey event, well over "500" exhibit spaces were assigned and confirmed for the big winter market, February 3, 4, 5, 2014 and returning to the New Jersey Convention Center.

There will be a change of previous dates announced as the Super Bowl will be held in New Jersey and to avoid heavy traffic and other related things, the show days will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and that too is being hailed as a positive move and may become permanent.

The KEM crew then moved on to the Central Florida Furniture & Accessory Market and it was the comeback show and it surely was a wonderful comeback with exhibitors raving about the first show in three years.

When the recession came about, Florida was on top as far as foreclosures and a poor general economy so we refrained from having a market until the air cleared and this was the return.

Exhibitors are already requesting exhibit space and that will begin right around the first of the year for the September 2014 market.

Buyers are elated to have a market where they can get into their car, shop a market and return home the very same day without the expense of housing, food, transportation and just being away from their place of business.  They also can meet with regional companies for fast delivery and the other conveniences of having a local show.

Exhibitors are telling us the two or three day KEM shows are so economical and they are seeing stores they no longer seeing at markets far from their home.
