Home Furnishings & Accessories Catalog Show, April 19-22, 2008

The U.S. Commercial Service is organizing a unique “Home Furnishings & Accessories Catalog Show,” April 19-22, 2008 that should be of interest to American exporters of home furniture and decorative accessories. Our aim is to tap the roughly $100 million Palestinian furniture and accessories market. The population of the West Bank and Gaza is 4 million, and is growing at 3.3% annually. Good export opportunities exist for American exporters of outdoor furniture, upholstered living room sets, housewares, dining and bedroom sets, sleepers and recliners, coffee and end tables, home entertainment furniture, curio cabinets, lighting, rugs, and decorative accent.

If you are an American furniture manufacturer or exporter and are interested in market opportunities in the West Bank, this is an extremely low-cost and effective way for you to evaluate interest in your product. We will be pleased to promote your products to Palestinian importers and distributors of furniture at ExpoHome Plus 2008 Trade Show April 19-22, 2008 at Al-Bireh Municipal Halls in Ramallah, West Bank.

Results Report: After the event is over, we will send you a complete list of potential partners who have expressed interest in your product, and all the trade leads we collected from end-users who visited our booth at ExpoHome Plus. After you have had the chance to review these leads, we will work with you to capitalize on these contacts.

The Cost: The participation fee for this three-day event is only $200. Registration is open until April 1, 2008, but receiving your response as soon as possible will help us conduct advance promotion on your behalf to our contacts. Register Now!
