High Point Furniture Market has revamped its Web site to help buyers better plan and navigate Market, and to help exhibitors promote themselves to attendees.
The new High Point Market site makes it easier for market-goers to create their schedule right on the Web site, using social media log-ins such as Facebook and Twitter accounts, eliminating the need for new user IDs and passwords to remember. Once buyers have logged in, they can begin to create their Market plan by adding events and exhibitors, writing and storing notes and reminders, sorting their plan by building or shuttle stop, and printing lists in their preferred order. Easy to access and easy to use on any mobile device, MyMarket keeps buyers and exhibitors connected.
For exhibitors, the new site offers upgrades and enhancements to help them grab the attention of buyers and designers. Each company that shows at Market can gain Facebook likes and Twitter followers directly from its profile page on the site--High Point Market is among the first trade shows in the country to feature that on its site. Companies can also add logos, descriptions, Twitter and RSS feeds, YouTube videos, and press releases. All releases will also be featured in the new Press Center on the site. These new tools are free for Market exhibitors.
The revamped Web site, featuring an integrated MyMarket, streamlines and enhances the Market experience and makes it more successful for attendees, said Tom Conley, president and CEO of the High Point Market Authority. The additions and upgrades to the Market site allow buyers to get a head-start with Market plans before they head to High Point, and they provide important tools to help exhibitors market themselves to buyers, designers, and the media.
This is just the first phase in our long-term plan to add tools and information that will help buyers navigate and shop the worlds home for home furnishings. Each Market, we will offer upgrades and fresh ideas to help make the High Point Market even more profitable for all of our attendees and exhibitors.
