The nation's leading wholesale and supplier companies will gather to exhibit at ASD EAST. The event offers the largest selection of jewelry, gift and toy, fashion and beauty, value and variety merchandise under one roof in the Eastern region.

"We've updated our show to meet the needs of both the current retail environment, and changing economic times," said Christopher McCabe, Vice President, Nielsen Expositions. "This year's ASD East features over 55 new exhibitors and provides a unique opportunity for independent retailers to source new products in the value and variety categories."

Two new features to the show this year are the Cash & Carry Alley and the Kasbah District, featuring jewelry, fashion accessories and general merchandise allowed for immediate delivery. The Kasbah District showcases a wide variety of smoking accessories and mature-themed merchandise. Playing up the success of ASD Las Vegas which takes place twice annually in Las Vegas, ASD East offers convenience and value to buyers who are based in the Eastern United States.

Attendees at ASD East can find a wide range of toys and novelties, fashion accessories, personal care items, household supplies and decor, as well as holiday and seasonal items just in time for the holiday season. A sampling of exhibitors at ASD East include: Kole Imports, Allied International Foods, Forum Novelties, Uni Hosiery, Inventory Adjusters, Cottonplace, Symak, Pride Products, Lavie International, Manhattan Marketing, Adorable Pillows, Shiah Yih Industries, Wing Sale, and Qmart Inc. This offers attendees who could not attend ASD Las Vegas last month the opportunity to place orders with some of the biggest names in the value, jewelry, gift and home merchandise industry.
