Why should you participate in this Show?
Unlike other regional trade marts, our shows are exceptionally successful:

1. Our retailer traffic is vigorous! Our customers know that by shopping the NEMC, they will get personalized customer service without the hassle or expense to go elsewhere. In our September 2008 show, showrooms boasted record breaking sales increases!
2. During the show we host seminars featuring nationally recognized speakers.
3. We have an unusually high rate of “key account buyers” from the Northeast who shop our
   building before going to any other show.
4. We target invitations to specific retailer categories and have vastly diversified our customer base. Our customers include garden and nursery centers, women’s apparel and accessories boutiques, toy stores, interior designers, furniture galleries, jewelry stores, kitchen and gourmet, bath and body stores, inspirational and bookstores, pet stores, collectible galleries, as well as gift shops. We encourage you to invite your customers as well!
