Insider Tips
ASD Market Week (Summer) Tips for First-Timers
- The Summer edition is focused on holiday season buying. Come with a clear buying plan for Q4 inventory and gift items.
- Download the ASD Market Week app and map out your target categories before arrival. The show is too large to see everything without a plan.
- Bring your resale certificate and business license. Most vendors require proof of business for wholesale pricing and order placement.
- Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers. August in Vegas means extreme heat outside and strong air conditioning inside the convention center.
- The SourceDirect section features direct-from-factory sourcing. If you need custom packaging, private label, or volume manufacturing, this is the section for you.
- Carry a bag or cart for cash-and-carry purchases. You can buy and take product directly from the show floor in certain sections.
