Reimagined Temps to debut in June at Dallas Total Home & Gift Market
Dallas Market Center, anticipating summer markets welcoming more buyers from coast to coast, announced the evolution of the Temps at Total Home & Gift Market, June 24-27. The reimagined show will feature all Temps neighborhoods in two buildings including a new destination for juried fashion resources on the 13th floor of the World Trade Center.
“The Temps are the discovery zone for the newest, most in-demand products that can help retailers stand out,” said Cindy Morris, Dallas Market Center president and CEO. “Presenting remerchandised portions of the show and updating the presentation of new exhibitors will help create even more traffic and opportunities for exhibitors to reach buyers.”
All categories of The Temps will be located in either the World Trade Center or Trade Mart. Highlights include:
- The World Trade Center 13th floor is the expansive new destination for jewelry, fashion accessories and a juried collection of apparel and accessories called Boutique. Buyers will be encouraged to “Shop The Top” first for fashion resources.
- World Trade Center 12th floor remains the largest collection of new and emerging exhibitors, trending products, and one-of-a-kind finds. New for June: an updated floorplan with easy access to categories across the floor.
- World Trade Center 11th floor is the new home of Cash & Carry, previously located at Market Hall, which includes gifts, home décor and vintage plus the addition of GO Texan products of gifts and gourmet from across the state of Texas.
- The Trade Mart 1 Pavilion continues to offer a juried collection of exhibitors called LUXE Design for fine gifts, home accents and tabletop. Not only does the floorplan present a larger, curated offering but was recently redesigned to provide more aisleway exposure and heightened traffic flow.
“Visiting the Temps at Total Home & Gift Market is now even easier,” said Amy Harper, EVP of Marketing. “We have product destinations that can be seamlessly browsed, with fabulous merchandise and high energy. The list of great companies participating continues to grow.”
Supporting the Temps for June will be marketing and events promoting the new and legacy neighborhoods together with the trends and stories behind the products. Also supporting the Temps is an updated onboarding program for exhibitors that includes a series of complimentary webinars with tradeshow, retail expert and Shark Tank alum Joelle Flynn, who offers practical advice on how to successfully build a business in the Temps in Dallas.
