Three Shows, Three Days, One Location

Returning January 25-27, 2014 to the Orange County Convention Center’s North Concourse (Hall A2), the Orlando Gift Show and Orlando Cash & Carry Show are perfectly timed so Florida retailers can preview new lines for the spring holidays and restock after the busy holiday season. Four years running, the winter edition will collocate with the American Craft Retailers ExpoTM (ACRETM) – offering retailers a tremendous, complementary product selection of giftware, accessories, jewelry and artisan crafts.

Among the highlights for the January 2013 edition:

Orlando Gift Show

Florida retailers come to the Orlando Gift Show to see the best-selling designs and newest introductions from major manufacturers and key Southeastern sales representatives showcasing items in virtually every product category, including general giftware, home and garden accents, gourmet gifts, party and paper goods, tabletop, holiday/seasonal, collectibles, souvenir/resort merchandise, stationery, bed, bath, and linen and more.

Orlando Cash & Carry Show

As a “show within a show”, the Orlando Cash & Carry Show rounds out the tremendous selection of the Orlando Gift Show with a wide array of items available for immediate delivery to the trade ranging from general giftware, fashion accessories and jewelry to garden gifts, logo products, resort/tourist merchandise and more.

ACRE Orlando

Produced by Wholesalecrafts.com TM, ACRE Orlando will feature wholesale artists from America and Canada among seven distinct juried showcases – Handmade Jewelry, Handmade Gifts & Accessories, The Gallery of Fine Crafts, The Gallery of Fine Jewelry, Handmade Wearable Art, and One-of-a-Kind, with Emerging Artists who are brand new to trade shows, sprinkled throughout.

In addition to products, the Orlando Gift Show features money and time-saving buyer incentives too, including:

Parking Rebate Coupon for Pre-Registered Buyers: Buyers who pre-register for the winter show will receive a special parking rebate coupon by mail along with their free admission badges. To redeem the parking rebate coupon, buyers will present their parking rebate coupon, Orange County Convention Center parking receipt and January 2014 buyer badge at the show information desk onsite to receive a $5 parking rebate.
