IMC’s Digital Offerings Designed to Make Market Prep Easier
IMC offers digital tools to make market preparation easier. An online catalog of the 20+ educational webinars offered in the lead-up to market is available for remote learning before, during and after market. Two digital tools – Catalog Connexion and Shopzio, both powered by IMC_di (IMC’s Digital Innovations division), enable buyers to source and shop prior to market. Catalog Connexion, a keyword-searchable catalog library, features 580+ IMC exhibitor catalogs through which buyers can browse and submit product inquiries. As an added benefit, select catalogs also link through to ShopZio, a fully transactional B2B ecommerce platform, allowing retailers and designers to browse as well as buy. All of these tools can be easily found on the IMC High Point Market homepage.
Together Safely
All IMC buildings will follow the market-wide #HPMKTsafe and IMC’s Together Safely protocols including the required use of personal protective equipment (PPE), temporal monitoring, social distancing, elevator and showroom occupancy control, hand sanitizing/cleansing and significantly enhanced housekeeping.
