-- Home Accents Today, 7/1/2008 8:15:00 AM
Attendees at this year’s annual Accessories Resource Team Conference in Charleston, S.C., will take part in a team activity and competition involving four Charleston home furnishings retailers. Planned for August 21-24, the trade association’s conference is known for its specialized programming that focuses on design, trends, business topics and hands-on activities to inspire and motivate the accessory industry attendees.
For the competition, a merchandising and marketing workshop, attendees will be divided into four or five two-part teams of merchandisers and marketers. The merchandisers will be dispatched to the stores to create a window display for the store using only the stock available on the floor. The marketers will prepare a marketing or event plan for the store which will be made available to the retailers after a group presentation.
Participating in the workshop are Charleston retailers Morris Sokol Furniture at 510 King Street, Vieuxtemps, Objets De Charme at 180 King Street, Mountains to the Sea Collection at 160 East Bay Street, and Ellington at 473 King Street.
Registration for ART Conference continues through July 11. For more information visit the ART website at www.accessoriesresourceteam.org or call (704) 376-4278.
