Buyer and Seller “Matchmaker” Program

Rather than leave every meeting to chance, TFM has developed our Buyer and Seller “Matchmaker” Program. The program consists of three main components facilitated by

the TFM show staff and marketing department:

1. Pre-show communication between exhibitors & pre-registered attendees 2. On-site scheduled meetings between exhibitors & groups of buyers 3. Post-show communication and promotion

At the Tupelo Furniture Market, we offer our exhibitors pre-show, on-site and post-show marketing opportunities that will assure exposure to retailers! Prior to the market and after the market ends, we provide many e-marketing and social media exposure options. We also offer numerous sponsorships onsite during the market, as well as advertising in the TFM Show Directory.

Special Directory Rates

TFM offers DEEP discounts and PRE-EVENT PROMOTION packages for our exhibitors that sign up early to advertise in our Show Directory. Our directories are detailed and packed

with information!
