Furniture World News Desk on 5/13/2025

ANDMORE® has introduced a series of targeted support initiatives to assist the home furnishings and gift industries as they navigate ongoing economic uncertainty. These efforts include financial incentives for new buyers, industry advocacy, and real-time tariff tracking designed to inform and support stakeholders throughout the sector.

“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 and Tariff Resources

ANDMORE is working to elevate industry concerns in Washington, D.C., by using its public relations channels to place vendor and retailer perspectives in national media. These efforts aim to build awareness and apply pressure on policymakers during a critical period for global trade and sourcing.

To further support transparency, the company has launched a Tariff Tracker in partnership with Bridgetower Media. This resource provides timely updates on trade policy developments and is accessible through all ANDMORE market websites.

Incentive Program for New Buyers

Responding to retailer feedback, ANDMORE has launched Shop the Show, an incentive program designed to assist first-time buyers attending the Summer 2025 Atlanta Market, Casual Market Atlanta, and Las Vegas Market. Qualified new buyers will receive a merchandise credit for use during Market, along with two complimentary hotel nights for a future event.

Ongoing Engagement Across the Industry

The company continues to engage with vendors, retailers, designers, reps, suppliers, and media through direct communication and its live markets. These gatherings serve as active forums for exchanging ideas, discussing current challenges such as tariffs, and identifying practical solutions.

Additional resources, including tips and updates related to tariff changes, are available via ANDMORE's digital platforms. The Summer 2025 markets are expected to provide further opportunities for in-depth dialogue and strategic planning.
