AMERICASMART ATLANTA SET FOR
SUMMER 2014 JULY MARKETS
 

ATLANTA – AmericasMart Atlanta will offer a comprehensive home furnishings, rug and gift market that will showcase new and newly expanded showrooms in more than 35 trade show categories during both the Home and Gift Market, July 8 to July 15 and the Area Rug Market, July 9 to July 12, 2014. 

“When imagination and ingenuity intersect, great things always emerge,” said Jeffrey Portman, AmericasMart vice chairman and president. “Our July Markets create a global stage for the innovations that power the progress of the industries we serve. We’ve been at this for 56 years. And with each show, we’re always ready to be amazed by what’s new and next.”  

This July, new and next are the watchwords across all AmericasMart product centers – Home Accents / Fine Linens, Furniture, Rugs, Holiday & Floral / Home Décor, Living, Outdoor / Indoor, The Gardens, General & Specialty Gift, Gourmet & Housewares, Living & Entertaining: Gifts, Tabletop & Accessories, Home Accents & Gifts and Children’s World.  

AmericasMart’s trade show categories follow suit with key collections taking the July Market spotlight. Showcasing top lifestyle products for men, Gentleman’s Boutique makes its debut, and the celebrated juried general gift collection relaunches as On-Trend Gifts at the July Market. The Market’s signature High Design and HD Home categories will feature a fresh group of design-driven lines with many new-to-market collections.  

Launched at the January 2014 Market, the AmericasMart mobile app delivers an enhanced customer experience by making it easier for buyers to discover and explore new and existing exhibitors, categories, lines and products and to make note of Market events and promotions. It allows buyers to browse exhibitors by floor map or in a list, and enables them to record favorite lines and categories, and to plan, organize and manage Market details to optimize their AmericasMart visit. Supporting the app is free Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the three-building campus.  

The centerpiece of the July Market, AmericasMart’s Icon Honors 2014 which celebrates professional achievements of home and gift retailers, manufacturers, sales agents and service providers will take place Thursday, July 10 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. 

The Market’s speaker series will feature Brian Patrick Flynn and John Gidding, Sunny Anderson and others. The Education Center will also return with  industry leaders teaching free business-building seminars ranging from social media to customer service to how to shop the Market. Networking and social events will also take place throughout the Market. A full Market event schedule will be released at a later date.
