SETTING THE TABLE FOR GROWTH
Seeing that tabletop and entertaining
was moving into higher-end territory, the expanding section is on a floor above High Design in Building 2, Floor 2, sharing buyers. “It’s more aligned to it name
now,” says Amy Schlick James, executive director at Americasmart. The section has a lot of neat, colorful and design-driven products for entertaining and tabletop, James says, adding that Americasmart works hard on grouping products together in a very category-specific fashion so buyers can shop with ease.
Jennifer Williams of Sobremesa by Greenheart, a tabletop vendor says
she loves being a part of Americasmart temporaries because the Chicago-based company can garner a wider audience
at Americasmart.
“Americasmart has built a strong reputation as being the premier destination for buyers in the gift and homeware industry,” says Eric Damer with Merritt International, a tabletop vendor that will be introducing fresh melamine and acrylic lines along with new stylized lacquer trays with gold leaf highlights for the summer market.
Vendors are gearing up with show specials and a whole host of incentives so expect continued excitement as the temporaries evolve.
