The Toronto International Gift Fair
Dear Buyer,
After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to cancel the Spring 2009 edition of the Toronto International Gift Fair. This is not a decision that was made in haste; rather, one that reflects changes in the giftware industry. To succeed, markets need to be relevant to you, our valued customers and we do not feel we can produce a market that will meet your needs and expectations given the current market conditions.
As gas prices and travel costs continue to climb, we know you are searching for cost-efficient alternatives to traveling to Toronto. We will be focusing our energies on the Alberta, Montreal and Vancouver Gift Shows to ensure that these markets continue to offer you, the retail buyers, the resources you need to be successful.
For more information, please visit www.canadiangiftshows.com or call our Buyer Hotline at (866) 721-4403.
We thank you for your patronage in the past and look forward to being of service to you in the future.
Sincerely,
Anita Schachter
Vice President
