WHAT: AmericasMart Atlanta now offers quick and easy registration for retailers with Fast Badge, the new online service giving buyers instant access to Market admission badges prior to arriving.

WHO: All qualified members* of AmericasMart who have a member ID**.

Those new to AmericasMart or those without a member ID will have the opportunity to pre-qualify online.

*A qualified member must be an active member of the retail or wholesale industry and be affiliated with a company that resells products represented by exhibitors in our buildings.

**A Member ID is a number exclusively assigned to each qualified member, identifying the individual as an AmericasMart member and enabling him/her to use member-only tools like online registration.

HOW: Starting TODAY, retailers can visit www.AmericasMart.com/fastbadge to register online in three simple steps:
1) Complete the form online;
2) Print confirmation with barcode;
3) Bring confirmation to Market for scanning and immediate entrance.

WHEN: At the January Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings and Atlanta International Area Rug Markets.
