Fall Opportunities for Buyers to Shop Markets In Person
The months between September and December are the busiest and most profitable for retailers, as pre-holiday home renovation and gift shopping are at their peak among consumers.
Buyers still have an opportunity to shop in person for seasonal and on-trend merchandise for their stores at several upcoming trade shows and markets nationwide. Manufacturers with inventory to ship immediately will most likely enjoy the most sales at these venues as retailers stock up for impending demand through the New Year.
Here are some of the major trade shows and markets being held in the months ahead:
