July 2016 Philadelphia Gift Show invites mid-Atlantic, tri-state retailers to see what’s new

Returning to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center from July 24-27, 2016, the Philadelphia Gift Show offers its mid-Atlantic and tri-state retail audience a one-stop source to restock and refresh their store shelves. Together with a full lineup of money saving buyer services, educational offerings, giveaways and show hospitality, the show’s expansive selection of new introductions and best-selling designs across all categories gives retailers the perfect opportunity to discover fresh new resources without breaking the bank.

“The Philadelphia Gift Show has built a strong reputation for offering a cost-effective and convenient choice for our Mid-Atlantic and Tri-State retailers seeking fresh new designs to appeal to current and new customers,” explained Dean Russo, group show director, Urban Expositions. “Close to home and much less expensive to attend than shows like New York or Atlanta, the Philadelphia Gift Show’s amenities like free parking, discounted hotel rates, free breakfast, lunch specials and others let our buyers focus on shopping for best-selling brands and up-and-coming new products rather than travel budgets.”
