The KEM staff is back from our 61st Edison Furniture & Accessory Market, held August 19-20-21, 2012 and considering the economy and the home furnishings industry the market was EXCELLENT.
So much so that nearly 500 exhibit spaces were re-assigned for the BIG Winter Market being held February 3-4-5, 2013.
As good as the market was, it could have been better if our economy was stronger, however, we believe, as did the many exhibiting companies that our industry is on the upswing... Slowly, but at least it is improving.
We are happy to announce that we have changed our summer 2013 Edison dates and will return to our usual slot, which is August 4, 5, 6, 2013 and that will allow us to not run concurrently with the gift show in New York and Ramadan.
Now on to Virginia being held September 9 & 10, 2012. Things are picking up and the show is coming along well. Buyers are calling our office interested in pre-registering as they are very happy to have a market close to home and no longer have to travel far. One buyer in particular came into to our Edison, NJ Show office to Thank Mr. Karel for bringing a market into their region and informed him of what a good idea it was as this states housing is picking up.
Last but surely not least.. Our Long Beach Market. We are pleased as this show has continued to grow with the last two markets selling out in advance. At this point in time, another sellout is expected as the Long Beach Market, November 10 & 11, 2012 is over 300 exhibit spaces assigned.
