Atlanta Market reveals further updates

Atlanta Market updated 23 showrooms, refreshing its 700-plus showrooms for the Jan. 10-16 market at AmericasMart Atlanta.

Beyond the 13 new showrooms, nine expansions and one relocation, significant renewals from top brands and sales agencies further strengthen the gift collection at International Market Centers’ (IMC) first market of 2023, the organization says.

“The Winter Atlanta Market, with more gift product than anywhere else, is the jumpstart of the 2023 retail year,” said Scott Eckman, executive vice president and chief revenue officer of IMC. “With significant new resources and investment from existing exhibitors, it also leads in innovation with the promise of unmatched fresh and new ideas and merchandise.”

General Gift and Specialty Categories

Buyers can explore new gift and lifestyle introductions on 19 floors in all three AmericasMart buildings.

In addition to general gift brands found throughout the showroom collection, dedicated neighborhoods offer easy category sourcing. Primarily, gourmet and tabletop is in Building 2, Floors 8-9; juvenile is in Children’s World in Building 3, Floor 13; outdoor living is in Building 2, Floor 9-10; and seasonal/ holiday is in Building 1, Floors 16-20.

Twelve updates to the general gift offerings bring more apparel, accessories, décor and toys to the Atlanta Market gift mix. Six new showrooms are: Crab & Cleek (canvas totes), Duo Threads (sorority, gameday and holiday apparel and gifts), EMI Sportswear (souvenir resort apparel), Fire & Pine (American-made, one-of-a-kind burnt wooden maps), FORNASH (jewelry and accessories), Trvl Design by ID Accessories (travel bags).
