Las Vegas Market, ASD Market Week extend collaboration

Trade shows expand Two for Tuesday initiative

Home Accents Today Staff //News & Commentary//May 19, 2016

Las Vegas Market and ASD Market Week will expand their successful Two for Tuesday collaboration, bringing together thousands of resources from two major trade shows.

Two for Tuesday will run from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Aug. 2, during which time there will be free and continuous shuttle service between the Las Vegas Convention Center and World Market Center Las Vegas. During this period, each show will provide free access to one another’s attendees, waiving any onsite entrance fees.

“By partnering with Las Vegas Market, we are pleased to be able to offer buyers even more value and choices by attending two unique markets in Las Vegas,” said Karalynn Sprouse, executive vice president for Emerald Expositions. “ASD is known as the international marketplace to find trendy and affordable merchandise – offering the opportunity for higher margins at retail.”

Show organizers say the minimal overlap between ASD’s exhibitors and Las Vegas Market’s showrooms and brands will deliver more than 5,800 unique resources, creating a new incremental buying opportunity for global retailers across differentiated, but related, categories.

“Based on the overwhelmingly positive response to our Two for Tuesday program last summer, continuing our partnership with ASD made perfect sense,” said Dorothy Belshaw, president of gift and home décor for International Market Centers. ”Our collaboration with ASD gives gift buyers a unique opportunity to source new products and provides our tenants with new channels of distribution. Bringing the collective resources of our market together with those of ASD offers attendees an added benefit at no additional cost. At the end of the day, we want buyers to maximize their time at market and have the best, most efficient and productive experience possible. As the leading furniture, home décor and gift destination in the western United States, we consistently strive to up our game for our customers; and partnerships like this offer consistent strong value.”
