This is why exhibitors such as Tango Reps have made AmericasMart their permanent home for years and will be showing during Fall Design Week Featuring Gift & Home.

“AmericasMart is the strongest in the industry right now, and we write a good deal of our business here at the show,” said Vicky Muetterties of Tango Reps.

Perfect for client gifts or restocking your retail store for the holiday season upon us, Tango specializes in consumable gifts such as artisan soaps, specialty candles and décor. They also carry affordable jewelry, such as the Megan Brown line, inspiration cards and books, one-size apparel and beautiful accessories from Canoe Bags.

Muetterties also believes that the education AmericasMart offers is what launches the Show to the next level. “Buyers really appreciate the education sessions about how the industry is changing.”
