Trade show manager Andmore announced this week that it will offer new programs to help support home furnishings and decor businesses during the economic uncertainty brought on by the Trump administration’s tariffs. Earlier this week, Trump announced a 90-day reprieve for tariffs on goods imported from China, dropping from 145% to 30%.
Andmore said it will engage its extensive network to present clear, actionable perspectives to policymakers. The company said it is leveraging its public relations resources to secure vendor and retailer media placements in national outlets, raising awareness of the industry’s challenges and intensifying pressure on decision-makers in Washington.
The company also will launch a new incentive program called Shop the Show for Casual Market Atlanta and the summer editions of Atlanta Market and Las Vegas Market. New, qualified buyers will receive a merchandise credit to be used during their market visit, as well as two complimentary hotel nights for a future market. This initiative is designed to ensure that buyers can make the most of their market experience by easing the cost burden of sourcing and restocking. Attendees can learn how to qualify for Shop the Show at andmore.com/shoptheshow.
Andmore said it remains in close dialogue with vendors, reps, retailers, designers, suppliers, media and industry organizations to better understand the evolving landscape and provide meaningful solutions.
Market websites feature easy-to-locate links to tips, industry news and resources on the latest tariff developments. Summer markets will create ample opportunities for vendors, reps and buyers to efficiently discuss the unique business impacts made by tariffs.
“Andmore recognizes the pressures our industry is facing, and we are committed to being part of the solution,” said Jon Pertchik, Andmore CEO. “This week’s 90-day pause is a welcomed reprieve, but we still have work ahead of us. By offering tangible support like merchandise credits and advocacy efforts, we’re helping our partners weather short-term challenges. We’re listening, we’re acting and we’re standing with our industry.”
