DALLAS – Dallas Market Center is setting the stage for the first market of the year, Total Home & Gift Market, Jan. 5-11, 2022. 50-plus new and expanding permanent showrooms, additions to the Temps, new special events, and inspiration for retail decision-makers will highlight the show.

“We’re offering buyers the first chance to discover what’s trending, review new products, and place orders,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “It’s more important than ever for retailers to experience a market in person in order to source across categories and discover products that will set them apart. That’s why we’re delivering a show unmatched in inspiration and community this January.”

Pre-registration, which is the exclusive method to receive the FastPass for quick, contactless entry, is now available at dallasmarketcenter.com.

Soaring new buyer applications, returning international buyers

New buyer applications are up more than 50% over previous years, with the strongest gains coming from buyers located in the Midwest and Southeast. January will also mark a return to Dallas Market by international buyers from Canada, Mexico, and across Latin America. To support new buyers arriving for the winter shows, the market center has a dedicated team of retail ambassadors. During the show, new buyers will be welcomed to market with special tours, a welcome desk, and a buyers’ lounge.
