STYLEMAX Announces the Addition of Gift

STYLEMAX, known for providing specialty apparel retailers with key brands, is pleased to announce the addition of Gift at STYLEMAX starting in January 2015. This leading women’s apparel and accessory trade show, which runs four times a year and features more than 4,000 resources in over 100,000 square-feet of the Merchandise Mart, will become the go-to resource for Gift & Apparel stores through the addition of this curated gift section.

The Merchandise Mart will no longer produce the Chicago Gift Market; instead, STYLEMAX will absorb the category through Gift at STYLEMAX. Susan McCullough, Senior Vice President, states “This is the ideal marriage. We are very excited to introduce this edited segment of gift that will live within STYLEMAX.”

STYLEMAX and The Chicago Gift Market have always shared a close relationship among both exhibitors and attendees and STYLEMAX has already proven to be an important show for gift exhibitors. The Gift at STYLEMAX component will continue to be developed in the new year, with a focus on introducing new Gift retailers to the show through the buyer perks program, including parking and discounted hotels. The STYLEMAX sales team is expanding the existing gift component with the addition of select lifestyle items. Beckman’s handcrafted section will also remain an important component of the Gift at STYLEMAX area.
