DMC's Retail Development team helps bring buyers to Dallas by calling, visiting, and touring stores personally. Each morning of market at 9am, on the first floor of the World Trade Center Atrium, our team welcomes buyers and provides a market orientation called the DMC Scoop. This kind of specialized service before, at, and after market sets Dallas apart and serves up that friendly Texas hospitality.
In addition to new exhibitors, the number of new buyers continues to set records. New buyer applications remain 50% ahead of 2019, reflecting both the marketplace’s position as a center of inspiration and its momentum as a national marketplace attracting buyers from coast to coast. We have strong indications buyers will be out in force during June Market. First, our new buyer applications have remained strong, and second the hotel reservations made via our travel team are tracking far ahead of last year at this time.
