It’s Show Time! Are you ready?
On August 8th, the Canadian gift show season kicks off in Toronto with the CGTA Fall Gift Show and Mode Accessories. After that, suppliers and manufacturers will travel the country, landing in Edmonton for the Alberta Fall Gift Show and By Hand Alberta (Aug. 15-18), then moving on to Quebec for the Montreal Gift Show (Aug.22-25), to Halifax for the Maritime Gift Show (Sept. 11-13), and perhaps to Vancouver for Smart Shows’ new Gift Expo scheduled for September 19-20. It’s show time in Canada. Exhibitors and show organizers are ready. Are you?
To help you plan your buying, www.gifts-and-tablewares.com is featuring online product showcases that are definitely worth checking out before you head out to the shows. They are:
G&T EXTRA: What’s New?! Fall 2010 Part II is a review of some of the great products being offered at the shows, complete with company names, booth numbers, shows and web sites.
G&T FEATURES, located on the top right hand side of the site, includes a Supplier Spotlight slideshow of new products from Ganz; The Chef’s Kitchen slideshow from HWI Anglo Canadian; and for inspiration, a slideshow of products offered at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, North America’s leading contemporary design show.
G&T’s PRODUCT GALLERY features new products from leading suppliers with a convenient “Request More Information” button.
And, in case you’ve misplaced your issue of Gifts and Tablewares, you can thumb through a digital edition of the magazine at www.gifts-and-tablewares.com.
As always, I’ll be reporting daily from the CGTA Gift Show on new product finds and trends, and sending the information out on G&T’s Daily News scroll and via Twitter (@GiftsnTableware). If you have any questions or comments be sure to stop by the G&T booth at the International Centre (booth #2789) or the Toronto Congress Centre (booth #9722) at the CGTA Show as well as at the Alberta Gift Show (Foyer, Edmonton Expo Centre). You can have a chat, pick up a copy of our special show supplement, "Best Buys," and renew your subscription (65% off!).
Have a great time shopping the shows and a successful Fourth Quarter!
