Mud Pie events at Atlanta International Gift Show designed to inspire retailers

Mud Pie is hosting a series of events during the Atlanta International Gift Show this July.  These events are intended to provide ideas and resources to retailers who carry Mud Pie.  Retailers can learn to leverage the consumer reach and influence of social media, to harness the power of cause-marketing, and gain inspiration and trend direction from Mud Pie’s product design and visual merchandising teams.

“We believe in giving our loyal retailers every opportunity to benefit from expert opinions,” explained Fred Pannek, President of Mud Pie. “We encourage them to stop by for ideas they can use in their own stores.”   All of the events will be held in Mud Pie’s showroom – AmericasMart Building 2, 6^th floor, Suite 680.
