Following the success of last summer’s event during the New York Gift and Home Textiles Market weeks, 7 W New York announces the return of its International Buyer Appreciation Day. Co-sponsored by the 7 W Exhibitors Association, the building will fete international buyers on Jan. 23rd and 24th with showroom specials, giveaways, raffles and pre-show tours.
“We value all of our customers; however, we created this special day to recognize the importance of a thriving relationship with the global trade community,” said 7 W Vice President and General Manager Chris Collins. “Since the launch of International Day last summer, we have nearly doubled our pool of International attendees. Combined with a series of new initiatives that enhance the shopping experience, we are confident that our efforts will result in continued success in building a larger base of international buyers.
7 W is extending International Appreciation Day to cover a two-day period. Buyers at 7 W will find incentives including in-suite events and receptions, a goodie bag, a lounge area with complimentary refreshments and concierge services, an E-Catalog Gallery, and an online planning tool.
