Why Come to Kansas City Market Center?
Why come to Kansas City Market Center when you can go
to larger markets in Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, or even Las Vegas? In Kansas
City, we have 46 different candle companies to choose from. In Atlanta? Over 300candle
companies to choose from. So if you need more than 46 candle companies to choose
from, you should probably go to Atlanta. But, if 46 candle companies suffice your
quest for candles, then maybe a few other points about Kansas City should be considered
as well. We are:
Less Expensive
Geographically More Convenient
Not as Overwhelming
Have Local Representation
Midwest Tradition
Friendliness
One Level Shopping
Courtesy Valet Parking
Safety
Shopping Convenience
And More!
Since our Association began in 1965, we have hosted more
than 200 Gift Shows with more than 500,000 shoppers, and thousands and thousands
of manufacturers. If you have attended one or more of these shows, Thank You! If
you haven't attended yet, October 3-6 is right around the corner! Come see us!

Outdoor Living Space is Going to the Next Level....
The constant rise in Outdoor Living Spaces
are steady and on the rise as most home owners find not only "Comfort" but that
"extra needed space" without the expense of enclosures and additions.
Americans have moved past the mentality that you must live in that much desired
tropical climate to invest in luxury of enjoying all the amenities while you are
in a five-star resort somewhere off the coast of Mexico. New and existing
homes are focusing more and more on those luxury items used indoors to be constructed
for the outdoor elements - such as Outdoor Fireplaces, drapes, appliances, water
resistant plasma TV's and furnishings you would think belong in a fine hotel lobby.
Not only do we find these spaces to be inviting and relaxing at our convenience
but, we associate all the past and present memories of those special events and
gatherings with family and friends on our new "beefed up" outdoor spaces.
So throw out that resin table and chair and have fun with remodeling that deck or patio
into your own getaway...and much to your surprise you will find yourself more often
getting a glass of water out of your refrigerator outside more than in!

ARE YOU GREEN?
We don't mean green with envy! Everywhere you
look you see more and more ads promoting "Green" products.
A few years ago you didn't hear much about recycled products in the home decor and
design industry even though they were there. More and more designers and manufactures
are moving are moving towards one common goal, to promote products designed or manufactured
with the planet in mind.
The reason "Green Design" is becoming more and more popular is the reaction to the
global "environmental crisis" by the rapid growth of economic activity and the increasing
human population as we are living longer because of advanced medical technology
therefore, we are being harder and using more resources on what we call home.
With "Green Design" in place this will hopefully be the direct means of reducing
or eventually eliminating these impacts while maintaining quality of life.
Call it a trend or being responsible. Even the Academy Awards announced they
are now "Green".
With all this being said as a designer myself I know that I'm not alone in this
challenge as more and more "Green" choices are available. So next time you
start working with a client
just hit the Internet or ask your local supplier..."Are you Green?"
