<strong>LAS</strong> <strong>VEGAS</strong> MARKET INSIDER SUMMER 2009<br />
26<br />
June 2010 Gift + Home <strong>Market</strong> to sizzle<br />
at World <strong>Market</strong> Center <strong>Las</strong> <strong>Vegas</strong><br />
World <strong>Market</strong> Center <strong>Las</strong> <strong>Vegas</strong> continues expanding the depth of its product selec-<br />
tion with the launch of the fi rst Gift + Home <strong>Market</strong>, June 13–16, 2010. Th is new event<br />
marks the home furnishings campus’ fi rst stand-alone show outside of the bi-annual<br />
<strong>Las</strong> <strong>Vegas</strong> <strong>Market</strong>.<br />
“We are moving full-steam ahead with<br />
plans to increase our value to buyers and<br />
exhibitors,” says Philip McKay, senior vice<br />
president, WMCLV. “For a relatively new<br />
venue, WMCLV has established itself<br />
as a dominant resource in the industry<br />
and expanding into the gift segment is a<br />
natural progression. Th e gift and home<br />
industry already has a strong presence at<br />
World <strong>Market</strong> Center <strong>Las</strong> <strong>Vegas</strong> and we<br />
anticipate continued growth.”<br />
Recent research shows that 74 percent<br />
of current <strong>Las</strong> <strong>Vegas</strong> <strong>Market</strong> attendees<br />
already purchase gift and decorative accessories.<br />
With key industry showrooms<br />
already present at WMCLV — including<br />
Midwest/CBK, IMAX, Global Views,<br />
C&F Enterprises, Evergreen and Manual<br />
Woodworkers & Weavers, to name a few<br />
— it is clear this vital category continues<br />
to gain momentum. “We anticipate an<br />
eclectic mix of permanent and temporary<br />
resources to add to<br />
the buyers’ experience,”<br />
McKay notes.<br />
Exhibitors will<br />
include permanent<br />
showrooms and temporary<br />
exhibitors in all<br />
Gift + Home categories<br />
such as seasonal<br />
and fl oral, general gift ,<br />
stationery, decorative<br />
accessories, bath and<br />
body, candles, wall<br />
decor and more.<br />
WMCLV is a unique platform to<br />
provide cross-selling opportunities to its<br />
exhibitors and provide buyers with the<br />
greatest expanse of products to diff erentiate<br />
their stores in the marketplace.<br />
In fact, the <strong>Vegas</strong> Kids show will be<br />
co-located with Gift + Home and will<br />
run concurrently, drawing additional<br />
buyers, expanding product off erings and<br />
cross-selling opportunities. Th e June<br />
events will kick off<br />
the traditional summer<br />
show season<br />
for home and gift<br />
retailers.<br />
Educational<br />
programming<br />
and special events<br />
will round out the<br />
buyers’ experience<br />
at this new show,<br />
focusing on topics<br />
such as visual<br />
merchandising and<br />
C & F Enterprises<br />
Midwest–CBK Global Views
