Trade Show Expedition: Curated Buying & Merchandising Solutions
Attending trade shows is a major investment — not just financially, but in time, energy, and strategic focus. At Just North Design, I remove that burden for my clients by acting as their eyes, ears, and creative compass at every major market. Instead of spending thousands on flights, hotels, and days away from their stores, clients tap directly into my expertise, taste, and long-standing relationships across the industry.
As I walk each show, I approach it with a buyer’s discipline and a merchandiser’s eye. I filter hundreds of brands and thousands of products to uncover what fits your store — your aesthetic, your customer, your price point, and the story you’re trying to tell. Every market reveals new trends and opportunities, and I distill those findings into a curated, actionable buying strategy tailored specifically to your business.
For retailers in resort, hospitality, and seasonal destinations, this service becomes especially powerful. Markets often overlap with peak selling seasons, making travel unrealistic. Instead, you get a curated shortlist of fresh, relevant, high-margin products — all without leaving your shop. From home goods to resort-ready apparel, accessories, specialty foods, and artisan-made goods, I help ensure your assortment feels current, compelling, and always one step ahead.
Trade shows happen twice a year, but smart buying is ongoing. With a proactive, trend-driven approach, my clients stay competitive, inspired, and stocked with merchandise that resonates with their customers and strengthens their brand presence.
