Testimonials_HeaderThe 2013 Seasonal Showcase kicked-off with record attendance. Retailers from the Northeast, Mid-West, and Mid-Atlantic traveled to Somerset, NJ to finalize their Spring Lawn & Garden purchasing and plan for the 2013 Christmas/Holiday retail season.

Joining Arett’s already strong list of Lawn & Garden offerings were 30+ new vendors; including Regal Art & Gift, Woman’s Work Gloves, and Massarelli’s. The highlight of the Seasonal Showcase was the recent addition of Good Tidings. Good Tidings, along with offerings from sources such as General Electric & Gemmy, makes Arett Sales a true one-stop shop for Christmas/Holiday retailers.

Customer Testimonials:

  • Robert James (The Garden Factory) – “I just want to thank Scott Billings and the Arett group for a great show. Coming from the Chicago lawn and garden market and going to shows for over 20 years I was very impressed with the wide range of products shown and the organization of the February Showcase. Our team at The Garden Factory looks forward to future shows with Arett and using them as one of our GO TO suppliers. Thanks again for making it such an enjoyable event.”
