NYIGF Stationery “Neighborhood” Grows For Winter 2011
White Plains, NY – With the addition of several new publishing and social stationery suppliers, a wealth of new products will be presented in the stationery “neighborhood” within the General Gift division of the winter 2011 New York International Gift Fair® (NYIGF®). This consolidation of social stationery resources, which debuted at the summer 2010 NYIGF, showcases more than 40 suppliers of specialty paper, note cards, journals, writing instruments and publishing.
“By consolidating these resources within NYIGF’s General Gift division, we are making it easier for buyers to source and shop this product category at NYIGF,” said Dorothy Belshaw , NYIGF director and GLM senior vice president. “The stationery ‘neighborhood’ is strategically located alongside complementary products – and product categories – which also maximizes cross-category sourcing and buying.”
Newcomers to NYIGF’s stationery ‘neighborhood’ include: Anne Taintor (humorous stationery, travel and office accessories); Chronicle Books (independently-published titles); Papaya (art-inspired lifestyle, stationery and gift items); and Seltzer (eco-friendly stationery and gift wrap).
These companies join leading social stationery suppliers such as Calypso Cards, Found Image, Knock Knock, Mudlark, Nelson Line and Notes & Queries; as well as major book publishers including Harper Collins, Pomegranate Communications, Random House, Sterling Publishing and Tuttle Publishing. These resources are grouped in, and near, the 7500 aisle on Level One of theJacob K. Javits Convention Center.
The stationery neighborhood was launched as part of “Focus Forward 2013,” a strategic three-year reorganization of NYIGF. In summer 2013, when all planned changes are complete, the stationery neighborhood will be presented as part of NYIGF Lifestyle, one of four comprehensive market collections – comprised of personal care and wellness, gift and stationery, fashion accessories and Baby & Child.
NYIGF runs Saturday, January 29, through Thursday, February 3, 2011, at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and Passenger Ship Terminal Piers 92 and 94. NYIGF is the nation’s premier gift, home and lifestyle marketplace, with 2,800 exhibiting companies featuring an extraordinary breadth and depth of design-driven home fashion products and complementary giftware. Some 35,000 attendees from all 50 states and more than 85 countries worldwide are expected. Information and registration is available online at www.nyigf.com.
