The 60th annual Atlanta January Market saw record-breaking new-buyer registrations and increased international attendance.
“The buying power and global brands doing business here in January set the new bar for market performance — here and everywhere,” says Kim Higgins, AmericasMart Gift & Home Furnishings Advisory Board chairman and founder and Principal of 225 Unlimited. “Customer confidence was strong and sustained across every category and floor. The buyers were here, ready to buy, and they bought big.”
January Market was attended by designers, specifiers, online merchants, independent retailers, trend setters, tastemakers and high-profile buying groups from all 50 states and 81 nations.
The first show of the season set a precedent for the Summer 2017 Market, July 11-18. The ICON HONORS will be held during this time.
