Welcome
The Industry Catalogue | January-June 2021
INDUSTRY UPDATE Since our first edition of the Industry Catalogue in July 2020, the publication has gone from strength-to-strength and is now a proven and important sourcing and buying tool for thousands of retailers, stylists, designers and corporate and hospitality buyers from across Australia. With the recent unfortunate cancellation of the 2021 AGHA Sydney Gift Fair due to COVID-19, this second edition of the Industry Catalogue has become more important than ever. Without question, 2020 will go down in history as a year of unforeseen and continually evolving challenges. Our industry has had to pivot and explore new opportunities, the Industry Catalogue is one of those opportunities. The Catalogue is distributed to more than 60,000 important industry buyers across Australia and is a very much in-demand reference tool for new products and trends at the best prices. In conjunction with the Online Supplier Showcase, which is linked to the Catalogue, retail buyers can now connect directly with wholesalers and get access to entire product catalogues and brochures.
In the absence of a Sydney Gift Fair, AGHA is partnering with Tradesquare to provide an e-commerce platform for our members, whereby retailers can buy directly and online from wholesalers. This platform will be linked to listings in the Industry Catalogue, making buying your new product ranges even easier. Watch out for this exciting new platform, coming soon…. The next opportunity for buyers and sellers to network face-to-face and source the most inspiring brands and products available in Australia is at the AGHA Melbourne Gift Fair, scheduled to be held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on July 31 - August 4, 2021. AGHA look forward to welcoming you again in August 2021 as the industry continues to work together in the recovery of the gift & homewares sector. Let’s Reconnect the industry in Melbourne in 2021! Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to email AGHA at contact@agha.com.au. For more information see www.melbournegift.com.au.
