The Long Beach Market, being held November 7 & 8, 2012, is an example of the uphill climb the industry is making as this event was quite large prior to the recession and is now coming back strong with the last two events being completely sold-out.
With the economy beginning to pick up and housing more of a positive, home furnishings and accessories will once again be on the consumers mind, more and more will be marching into their favorite stores to purchase their requirements.
The KEM Furniture & Accessory markets are certainly proof of the uptick within our industry and order writing has picked up in the last six months at these events.
The Edison show, one that enables stores, designers, motels and specialty stores the opportunity to simply get into their vehicles, do their buying and return home the same day is proof of what we are saying.
The Summer Edison Furniture & Accessory market was so well attended and such an excellent order writing event for our exhibitors that nearly 600 spaces have already been sold for the Big Winter market, being held February 3-4-5, 2013, at the New Jersey Convention Center.
We are thrilled to announce the return to Florida with the Central Florida Furniture & Accessory Market, being held August 11 & 12, 2013, at the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee , FL.
Exhibitors do not need a costly permanent showroom and buyers do not have to travel far. This will save on cost of travel, housing, food and give the buyer a piece of mind as they do not need to be away from their place of business for long.
Space assignments for the return of the Central Florida market will begin in November.
Let us all hope that all industries will be doing well and we will see a thriving U.S.
