Dallas Market Center's Best Visual Presentation Award Winners

The summer market season got off to a strong start with the June 18-24 edition of the International Lighting Market, running concurrently with exhibitors in the decorative accessories, home decor, gifts, and gourmet food industry under the Total Home & Gift Market umbrella. The June show offered buyers 75 new and expanded showroom resources as well as a comprehensive Temporaries section on the ground floor of the Trade Mart’s Atrium in addition to several floors of the World Trade Center.  Furthermore, a roster of special celebrity guests were in attendance at market. Trista Sutter, star of ABC’s first edition of The Bachelorette, signed copies of her book “Happily Ever After” and featured speaker Jason Dorsey presented a targeted seminar on how Gen Y employees and customers can grow your business. 

When it came to product presentation, all of the exhibitors across the categories served by the Dallas Market Center (DMC) went all out to create head-turning, conversation-starting displays to inspire customers. For their efforts, the DMC appoints a panel of visual merchandisers to select the most outstanding efforts. The exhibitors chosen receive special recognition and  are given a Best Visual Presentation Award.  This competition takes place twice a year during the January and June Total Home & Gift Markets and the names are released within days of the market’s end. 

The DMC has just announced the winners of the June Total Home & Gift Market Best Visual Presentation Awards, comprised of those exhibitors recognized by the panel of visual design experts as offering fresh, innovative, and creative displays. Several of the winning exhibitors are well-known within  lighting showroom community, such as Feiss-Monte Carlo, Global Views, Aidan Gray Home, Maxim Group Companies, and CODARUS.
