| How To Get Into Atlanta Market |
Step 1: You Shall Not Pass...As a Civilian
Yes, the Atlanta Market is like Mordor for retail therapy. Only those deemed worthy - members of the home furnishings, gift, and design industries - are granted access. So, dust off those business cards and get ready to prove your trade cred.
Acceptable Proof of Your Awesomeness (Choose One):
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
- Company Issued Badge: Think shiny and ID-like, with your name and your employer's name proudly displayed.
- Website Warrior: Got a company website? If it showcases your design prowess or your retail storefront, that might be enough.
- The Paper Trail: Retail license? Resale certificate? These work too!
- Licensed to Design: Architects, landscapers, and other creative folks can flash their licenses or professional affiliations.

Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
Step 3: The Grand Entrance (Without the Fanfare)
Once your registration is approved (cue angelic chorus!), you're ready to enter the marketplace. Bring a valid photo ID and your badge (or the documents you used to register) - they'll check these at the door.
