| THE LARGEST SHOW OF ITS KIND IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION |
|
Expand your business in the thriving Mid-Atlantic region as an exhibitor in the Philadelphia Gift Show. Known as the largest regional show in the country, the show draws a growing audience of retailers from one of the most powerful buying regions in the country. The July 20-23, 2008 Philadelphia Gift Show will return to the Greater Reading Expo Center in Reading, Pennsylvania. This newly converted facility, located in the heart of the Philadelphia Gift Show trading area, offers an unparalleled opportunity to reach the traditional and loyal audience of the show as well as endless possibilities for expansion. |
We pride ourselves on creating a more “customer friendly” environment for our retailers, so the Show is casual and personal. It’s all located under one roof in the convenient new Greater Reading Expo Center with the capacity to accommodate over 1,400 booths. Because of this comfortable atmosphere, retailers spend days shopping the aisles, meeting with their sales representatives, and taking advantage of business-building buyer seminars. Many of the region's retailers who do not attend major markets find everything they need at the Philadelphia Gift Show, just a tank of gas away with over 4,000 free parking spaces.
Exhibitors fill the show quickly because they understand the cross-marketing opportunities available in a comprehensive gift, home accents and furnishings show where retailers rely on exhibitors for trends and merchandising ideas as well as product. With the new location we will continue to tap into a larger market while attracting the loyal retailers that have made this show such a success in the past.
The Greater Reading Expo Center will have over 350,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space on one level which makes for easy move-in and move-out. Join us in July for the first show of the season. Click here to contact Show Director Shelley Fulghum or fill out the on-line application on this site.
