Join us for a High Point Market Insiders Tour Spring 2020
As High Point Market veterans and social media influencers, we’ve been asked to host an “insiders” market tour on Saturday, April 25, 2020 from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm for new buyers.
A new buyer is a member of the home furnishings industry who meets all the qualifications for a buyer pass (outlined at www.highpointmarket.org/register) and has attended no more than 1 of the previous four Markets (Spring 2018, Fall 2018, Spring 2019, and Fall 2019) and has not previously attended an Insider's Tour. This status will be confirmed by High Point Market Authority staff for each submission received via the online form.
No more than 2 qualified buyers from one company can attend each tour.
Each buyer must submit an application and each applicant will be vetted/approved by High Point Market Authority to ensure each is a qualified new buyer.
Here is the link to the application: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3B5GTC6 The application process is open from January 21 through April 3, 2020. A maximum of 2 persons from the same company can attend any Single Tour.
Buyers are responsible for their hotel and travel arrangements to High Point.
High Point Market will provide a concierge to help in their travel arrangements and will contact the applicant after they have been qualified to attend as a Buyer for the Insider’s Tour.
Buyers must be available to attend High Point Market on Saturday, April 25, from approximately 8:30 am until 6:00 pm and this includes the mandatory orientation breakfast (at 8:30 am on Saturday and “possibly” a sponsored reception from 5:00-6:00 pm).
We will choose 5 of our favorite showrooms in 3 separate areas (buildings or standalone showrooms) at Market.
- The tour will include a mandatory kickoff meeting and breakfast starting at 8:30AM with the High Point Market Authority for a general Market overview and all tour guides and participants are required to attend as well as get their badges scanned.
- The Tour will include at least one educational or social event.
We’ve been going to High Point Market for over 20 years and know how overwhelming it can be, especially on your own. Over the years we’ve incorporated great strategies and plans to be efficient and make the most of our time there. We work really hard but we also make time to do some educational events, and definitely make time for social events and parties! Here’s a bit more information on The High Point Market Authority’s site - https://www.highpointmarket.org/insiders-tour
We hope you will join us. We are limited to 15 participants so if you are interested, please register quickly!! It will be so informative and you will walk away from that day being able to navigate this market without intimidation!
