Why Should WF&FSA Wholesalers Attend AmericasMart?

Cindy Henry, AmericasMart’s Vice President of Retail Services

It is hard to not be impressed by the sheer size and scope of AmericasMart in Atlanta. Simply stated, AmericasMart is the largest wholesale trade show in the country. With over 8,000 brands in over 7 million square feet of showrooms and temporary show space, AmericasMart has it all. 

It is the largest floral, the largest holiday, and the largest gift trade show in the country which for you, the wholesale florist, that means showroom after showroom of floral, holiday and gift items. All under one roof. 

For many exhibitors, AmericasMart is their largest showroom, where you can see all the product (versus some pieces online or in a catalog), meet the principals of the company, and see how the product can be merchandised, which you can relay to your customers. 

From containers, to ribbons, trees, décor, silk and artificial flowers, greenery, ceramics, vases, accessories- you imagine it, you will find it there. Exhibitors at AmericasMart include: Napco, Allstate Floral, Kaemingk International, Knud Nielsen, Melrose and many more. 

And because AmericasMart is in Atlanta, it is easy (and inexpensive) to fly to, easy to get around once you get there (with a Marta stop right in the building), and once there, easy to move from building to building in covered walkways. You can easily walk to AmericasMart with over 10,000 hotel rooms within walking distance. Travel logistics are easier at AmericasMart compared to other markets. 

AmericasMart truly is a buying mecca with buyers from all over the world coming to see new product, meet with key exhibitors, and buy early in the season. For wholesale florists, it is the best place to shop for all floral, holiday, and gifting needs and we have partnered with WF&FSA for a special complimentary hotel night offer. 

We are happy to share that for every two nights stay, WF&FSA members receive one complimentary room night, for over 2 nights stay, receive two nights complimentary. Reservations must be made through AmericasMart and by May 18 and you can find more information here. 

Enjoy the shopping experience and all that is AmericasMart!
