Tupelo Furniture Market Announces ‘Buyer Rewards Initiative’.

Furniture World News Desk on 12/20/2014

The Tupelo Furniture Market reported that pre-registrations for attendance for the upcoming show, one of the larger business-to-business furniture trade events held in the United States twice each year, have picked up considerably.

As of December 15th, registrations for the event were tracking ahead of last February’s event.  According to Kevin J. Seddon, president of the company, more than 200 retail store owners and buyers from throughout the United States and several other countries will register each day between now and the scheduled date of the furniture trade event, February 5-8, 2015.

“We are completely satisfied with the results of our marketing efforts thus far,” Seddon said. “We expect close to 15,000 industry professionals to eventually pre-register for the event. Not every retailer that pre-registers will attend, so our focus now is two-fold: First, continue to market to those that have not yet registered, and second, ‘re-market’ to those that have already committed and keep them informed about new companies, products and programs that will be available to them when they show up in February. Attendance for last February’s market was hindered by inclement weather, so we are very pleased that we are having similar advance success with pre-registration because this year’s weather outlook looks far more positive.”

Once again, Seddon said, more than 100 companies will offer special buying incentives for those that order products on-site during the Tupelo market. The program, dubbed the Tupelo Only Special (TOS), now has three times the number of participating companies that it had only a few years ago. This is a great benefit to those who intend to shop during the Tupelo Furniture Market.

The popular Tupelo Buyer Rewards Initiative will also be made available again to all retailers interested in attending, Seddon added. It’s comprised of numerous attendee-centric packages and benefits such as the Super Early Bird registration offer, expanded regional shuttle services, special “show dollars” that can be spent during market, buyer and seller “Matchmaker” assistance, educational seminars, the aforementioned TOS program and numerous hotel, flight and meal and entertainment incentives.
