Gift and Homewares Australia have sold out all possible floorspace for exhibitors for Sydney’s biggest Home and Giving Fair, taking place at Sydney Showground on 19-22 February 2011.
George Lancaster, GHA’s Marketing Manager, said the strong interest already shown indicates an overall sense of optimism amongst suppliers and retailers.
“Selling out of floor space is a sign that exhibitors are doing well and suppliers are optimistic about the future, which bodes well for the industry as a whole,” said Mr Lancaster.
“There are going to be thousands and thousands of the latest gift and homewares products on offer,” he said.
Offering an ideal setting for buyers to stock up on the latest products for the entire year, the fair will also boast other exciting new features and will appeal to anyone involved in the industry.
