Everyone knows how important it is to accessorize their casual furniture store. Not only do accessories help create beautiful vignettes to increase furniture sales, but the sales of those accessories also are an added source of revenue.

One of the best places to find wonderful accessories is the AmericasMart in Atlanta. This year, CFR members can take advantage of a great benefit offered by AmericasMart. During the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market, scheduled for Jan. 9–17, 2007, CFR members are offered a two-night complimentary stay at one of six hotels located within walking distance of the market. The stay is required for Thursday, Jan. 10, and Friday, Jan. 11. These days were selected in order for CFR members to shop the market prior to the arrival of larger retailer crowds on Friday. It also allows retailers, if they so choose, to be there Friday for the opening of the temporary exhibitors. AmericasMart also will offer special rates at the hotel if CFR attendees wish to extend their two-day stay.

All pre-registered CFR members also will have access to the exclusive Market Club Lounge, where you can take a break, grab a snack or send an e-mail. AmericasMart also is providing a room available exclusively to the CFR. This will provide members a great opportunity to network and exchange ideas and compare notes.

In order to take advantage of this offer, reservations must be made by Nov. 17. Call 800-956-2237 for more information.

This is the 25th anniversary of CFR, so make sure you take advantage of this AmericasMart offer and watch for other great CFR member benefits.

Don't be left unaccessorized, see you in Atlanta.
