Atlanta Jewelry Show attracts buyers beyond Southeast

Atlanta—Organizers of this year's August 2007 Atlanta Jewelry Show have posted brisk order-writing, popular feedback on the enhanced buyer-rewards program and a 5 percent increase in attendance over last year.

Held from Aug. 11-13 at the Cobb Galleria Centre, the show attracted a record number of retailers from outside of its traditional Southeastern market, organizers said in a media release.

Attendance by Texan retailers increased 25 percent, while retailers from Indiana, Ohio and Louisiana were also out in strong showing. In addition, organizers said they recorded a significant jump in attendance from Mississippi retailers.

"These numbers are proof positive that a regional jewelry show is still an important factor in the business plans of today's independent retailers," Carol Young, executive director of the Southern Jewelry Travelers Association (SJTA), producer of the show, said in a statement. "They know that they can find the top lines, new designs, educational programming and networking events offered at national shows and can afford to bring the store associates as well."

Among the show highlights was the recently revamped SJTA Rewards Buyer Loyalty program, which allowed retailers to earn points quicker than in the past and redeem them for a wider range of rewards, the MJSA of America Jewelry Academy and an opportunity to view the Gemological Institute of America Museum's rare collection of Brazilian jewelry.

The Atlanta Jewelry Show will return to the Cobb Galleria Centre from March 1-3, 2008.
