6. To Market, to Market
The summer market is in full swing and Gifts & Decorative Accessories is putting the major shows into focus, delivering the latest news and new product information to readers’ desktops. Gifts & Dec Direct From Market reports from Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago have already been delivered with reports from Las Vegas and New York coming up in the next few weeks.
 

7. Your 2 Cents Worth
The grass is definitely greener on the gift side of the fence. When we asked readers in last week’s poll if they are “taking steps to make your business greener,” a full 40 percent responded that they are “already green.” Others are taking specific steps to be greener: 20 percent responded that they are recycling more, while 16 percent are buying sustainable products and 12 percent are saving energy. On the down side, 12 percent are doing nothing to make their business greener, responding that they have “enough to worry about.”

We’re not worried, however. We know you’ll vote in this week’s poll.
