AmericasMart Gears Up For July Markets

Ever responsive to retailers’ desires to present an integrated merchandise mix with items from multiple product categories, AmericasMart® presents a diverse and innovative GIFT product collection highlighted by new and expanded showrooms at The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market® (July 10 – 17, 2013) and The Atlanta International Area Rug Market® (July 11 – 14, 2013) this July.

AmericasMart’s expansive, easy-to-navigate campus allows national and global gift retailers to conveniently cross between product categories to source top product that will engage and impress their customers.

July Market attendees will notice that AmericasMart has retired the Building 2 WestWing name.
