As the retail year approaches Father’s Day and the Christmas season it’s important for stationery retailers to start planning ahead and source the best quality products.
Reed Gift Fairs’ Exhibition Director Omer Soker says: “As Queensland’s only gift and homewares trade event, Reed Gift Fairs Brisbane July will be the prime opportunity for retailers to stock up for Christmas. It’s time for Queensland to demonstrate to the market that it is open for business and looking forward to future growth.”
Mr Soker discusses some of the top stationery trends for the upcoming holidays.
