Summer Holiday Show
June 21-25
New/Temporary Exhibitors Welcome

Our Summer Holiday Show is being held in June this year!

BREAK THE MOLD! Come join our family at the Northeast Market Center in Billerica MA during our well-attended “June Holiday Show” which takes place June 21-25* (*4-day option available with departure date the evening of June 24th).

Experience our NEW 139,000 square foot facility which boasts over 2,000 unique product lines, a state-of-the-art café, easy-access from major highways, free parking, and complimentary valet parking, and area discounted hotels-some with shuttle service.

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 January 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!
