AmericasMart Atlanta offers 35 tradeshow categories and more than 2,500 temporary exhibiting companies at The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market running July 8-15. Retailers can look forward to a great magnitude of product introductions at the July Temporary Market (July 10-14) as well. “The excitement for the July market is palpable,” said Jo Ann Miller Marshall, executive vice president of tradeshows for AmericasMart. “Our exhibitors are eager to show off new lines and products, and our buyers cannot wait to visit their existing vendors and to discover new collections.” Updates at the July market include the debut of Gentlemen’s Boutique, a juried collection showcasing top lifestyle products for men, and the relaunch of the juried general gift collection as On Trend Gifts. The new Gentlemen’s Boutique is a result of AmericasMart’s recognition of the increasing focus on and demand for men’s personal products across the retail spectrum. The collection is located on Floor 4 of Building 3. The renaming of the On Trend Gifts Collection reflects the next “big thing” in gift items, and is a globally influenced juried collection of design-driven contemporary items. On Trend Gifts is located on Floor 5 of Building 3. As consumers are increasingly concerned with the origins of their goods, retailers looking to source artisan items are drawn to the juried Made in America, Global Design, Handmade Design and Handmade Jewelry collections in Building 3 on Floor 2. The growing Made in America collection features a wide range of American-made gifts and decor items. Learn more at americasmart.com. |
