OPEN TO BYE: A market mind is a terrible thing to waste

Retailers with limited open-to-buy can still bank on a gazillion open-to-think dollars, attending next week’s High Point Market.

Prudent merchants possessing an open mind and a willingness to see the world differently can always find new ways of enriching consumers and themselves with fresh ideas.

Without buying a string and splinter of furniture in High Point, merchants can splurge on valuable time to savor all the new ideas they cannot know staying in their retail bunkers.

You can’t tell me that investing the time and energy in visiting well-appointed showrooms and talking shop to colleagues is a waste of time.

When one idea can make a big difference, the excuse of having no open to buy dollars is lame brain. Because a High Point Market mind is a terrible thing to waste.

At the High Point Market, a retailer can be a joyful kid in a huge candy shop of more styles and designs, plans and opportunities than anywhere else.

For retailers who prefer to be stay-at-home M.O.M.S. (Merchants Offering Meager Solutions), enjoy the dull scenery.

In stark contrast, your smart and savvy competitors are learning how to pass you by attending the High Point Market, better known as the Olympics of the Home Furnishings world.

Remember, what happens in High Point furnishes the world!
