New York, NY – 7 W New York will be providing exciting promotions, learning opportunities, extended shopping hours, and an array of in-suite events that are all sure to please market-goers at the upcoming Gift & Home Textiles Market Week. Highlights of the week at 7 W 34th Street include a “Holiday Showroom Shopping Stroll,” complete with prizes; one-on-one consulting by business dynamo Christina Norsig on the “hot” new retail model, the Pop-Up Shop; and “extra-curricular” bonuses such as an opportunity to skate with a U.S. Olympian at Bryant Park gratis and Gift for Life’s Party for Life gala.

According to Chris Collins, vp and general manager, 7 W New York, “I believe all would agree that 2010 was a rebuilding year that should yield exciting results in 2011. There is great anticipation for the NY Market and we expect this show season and in particular the NY International Gift Fair to be a phenomenally successful industry show.”

All in all, the Gift Week at 7 W promises to be a must-attend show, with more opportunities to find unique and fresh product, learn about trends and business techniques and win prizes.  In-suite events and out-of-market activities will make it all the more lively and productive.
