Market Preview Guides available online
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 26, 2007
High Point — The High Point Market Preview Guides are now viewable online with a technology that lets the user look at them page by page, as if flipping through a catalog.
The "2007 Furniture Preview" and the "2007 Accessories Preview" are available on the High Point Market Authority's Web site at www.highpointmarket.org or on the site of High Point's International Home Furnishings Center at www.ihfc.org.
The Market Authority and the IHFC are collaborating to make the preview guides available.
"The pages of each of the new Market Preview Guides provide buyers, retail owners and designers an exciting look at what more than 2,600 exhibitors are planning to show this season," says Brian Casey, Market Authority president and CEO. "By introducing the Previews on our Web site, we're extending the reach and utility of the guides, while adding yet another new element to our user-friendly site. The easy-to-use format is literally as easy as turning a page."
The guides include editorial and photography of new products, an exhibitor directory, planning information, events schedule and more.
E-mails can be sent to colleagues, linking to marked pages and notes. On each image, viewers can zoom in and see details, zoom out, and pan across the picture. Advertisements can be viewed, and hot links to advertisers' Web sites will soon be activated, according to the Market Authority.
