ATLANTA, GA/ HIGH POINT, NC/ LAS VEGAS, NV – May 13, 2025 – As a leading connector of buyers and sellers through dynamic, efficient Markets, ANDMORE is taking action to support its community during this period of economic uncertainty. From advocacy to financial support, ANDMORE is focused on delivering value and amplifying the voice of the industry at every level.

“ANDMORE recognizes the pressures our industry is facing, and we are committed to being part of the solution,” said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORE^® CEO. “This week’s 90-day pause is a welcomed reprieve, but we still have work ahead of us. By offering tangible support like merchandise credits and advocacy efforts, we’re helping our partners weather short term challenges. We’re listening, we’re acting and we’re standing with our industry.”

Industry Advocacy: A Unified Voice in Washington

ANDMORE is engaging its extensive network to present clear, actionable perspectives to policymakers. The company is leveraging its public relations resources to secure vendor and retailer media placements in national outlets, raising awareness of the industry's challenges and intensifying pressure on decision-makers in Washington.

Shop the Show: Merchandise Credit for New Buyers

In direct response to feedback from its retail community, ANDMORE is proud to launch Shop the Show, an incentive program for the Summer 2025 Atlanta Market, Casual Market Atlanta and Las Vegas Market. New, qualified buyers will receive a merchandise credit to be used during their Market visit, as well as two complimentary hotel nights for a future Market. This initiative ensures that buyers can make the most of their Market experience by easing the cost burden of sourcing and restocking.

Active Listening & Engagement

ANDMORE remains in close dialogue with vendors, reps, retailers, designers, suppliers, media and industry organizations. These conversations are vital to understanding the evolving landscape and providing meaningful solutions. The Markets themselves serve as a real-time forum for idea exchange, learning and connection.

Market websites feature easy-to-locate links to tips, industry news and resources on the latest tariff developments. Summer markets will create ample opportunities for vendors, reps and buyers to efficiently discuss the unique business impacts made by tariffs.
