October 30, 2006 (Press Release) --
In this age of onestop shopping at mammoth and impersonal outlet malls, the move among many urban shoppers is toward convenience and creative ways to get what they really need. The latest trend is to shop at gift and trade shows, in centrally located venues with a variety of entrepreneurs, craftspeople and retailers brought together for special occasions.
This holiday season’s “best pick” shopping event is the BZB Holiday Gift & Art Show coordinated by Juanita Britton, customer specialist and entrepreneur. “Our goal is to attract customers to shop with businesses and artisans in their communities. People are having second thoughts about the stress and inconvenience of suburban malls”, say Britton. “They are beginning to understand the connection between entrepreneurship, consumerism and the survival of the local boutiques and shops in our neighborhoods.” Britton who operates the Anacostia Art Gallery & Boutique and several retail businesses at National and Dulles airports, is regularly featured on nationally syndicated and local talk radio programs and in community newspapers around issues of economic and small business development in urban communities. She has worked with 400+ businesses over the past 20 years.
Once a year, shoppers from around the beltway, up and down the East Coast trek to this festive, holiday marketplace to find an appealing option that features unique and ethnic gifts created and sold by local retailers and artisans that create an enchanting holiday shopping atmosphere. Specialties such as jewelry designed by local master goldsmith, Shukri; wood carvings from Ghana and crafts from South Africa; Master Artist Imaniah Shinar, with prints and originals for sale; new and collectible books; ethnic games and toys; men’s and women’s clothing from West Africa tailors; glassware encrusted with 24 karat gold from Egypt; couture designs by DAMALI; youth artisans and entrepreneurs, just to name a few.
A frequent customer, Sheila Baker, has shopped for several years at the holiday marketplace says, “There is no place like the BZB Gift show, the vendors products that I can buy in all price ranges. You just have to experience this for yourself”. Ms. Juanita Britton resounds, “Yes this is our 16th Annual Holiday Gift & Art Show and it continues to prove that we can provide great value and quality gifts, in an exciting and customer orientated environment for the best shopping experience ever, in the community!”
