Dallas Total Home & Gift Market Booth Planning for Wholesale Exhibitors
How should exhibitors plan a booth or showroom at Dallas Total Home & Gift Market?
Dallas Total Home & Gift Market booth planning starts with the exhibit path: a temporary Market booth or a permanent showroom. Once space is assigned, use its footprint and included fixtures to choose featured products, comparison space, and an order or permitted purchase handoff. Finish with a brief that lists display functions, added components, and checks needed before production.
At Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, wholesale brands meet retailers and designers in permanent showrooms and The Temps. If space has not been assigned, start with the product category and intended buyer action. Then decide whether a temporary Market appearance or an ongoing showroom presence fits the plan.
The contracted space sets the limits. Some Temps packages are 10×10, while The Atelier has a 60 sq ft format; showrooms follow their leases. Decide which products buyers need to see together and how they will compare them. Plan the next step as an order or, where offered, an immediate purchase.
Capture the building and floor, included fixtures, featured products, buyer action, and any missing pieces in a short exhibit brief. For production, trade show booth design and build support can cover the approved graphics, fixtures, delivery, and installation specified in that brief.

A 10×10 order-writing booth and a 10×10 Cash & Carry space use the same area differently. Compare room for product review, staff, and stock after you know the included kit.
Use the compact jewelry and accessories format for a carefully edited range and easy product inspection. Check the supplied shelving, counter, and lighting before adding fixtures.
Reserve room for products buyers can take away and for staff to replenish them. Do not use the full footprint for display pieces.
Keep a focused product group and one place to compare samples and discuss orders. Use 10×10 booth planning to assess general capacity, then fit the layout to the assigned package.
Work from the leased dimensions to group collections and leave space for longer buyer discussions. Additional ranges earn space only when buyers can still navigate and compare them.
The selected assortment and sales format determine what each display surface and counter must do.
Use the entry view to show the product category and featured line. Keep individual SKU labels secondary until the buyer reaches the display.
Put the materials, finishes, sizes, or packaging differences buyers need to judge within easy reach. Keep backup variations off the main surface.
Give staff a place to answer questions and handle an order, or support an immediate purchase where the area allows it.
Keep backup stock and working materials close enough for staff to reset the display without taking over buyer-facing space.
The Market pairs permanent showrooms with temporary exhibits at Dallas Market Center.
The full Market runs January 6–12, 2027. The Temps run January 6–9.
Retailers and interior designers source home, gift, gourmet, housewares, accessories, and lighting lines.
Not Sure Which Booth Size You Need?
Not every exhibitor knows whether a 10x20, 20x20, 20x30, or larger booth is the right fit. Circle Exhibit can help review your event goals, product display needs, demo areas, meeting space, storage, budget scope, and setup timeline before you choose a booth size.

Use the Supplied Package
If its walls and furniture already support the selected products and buyer conversation, focus on clear graphics and arrangement rather than another structure.
Add Rental Components
Adaptable display surfaces or counters can fill a specific gap in the included kit. Explore trade show booth rental options after confirming permitted dimensions.
Build a Custom Element
Consider a purpose-built piece when product scale, secure display, or comparison needs cannot be met by the provided kit or reusable components. Confirm feasibility before fabrication.
Assignments in the Trade Mart and World Trade Center vary by floor and exhibit format. Use the current instructions for your booth or showroom before production.
LUXE is order writing, while Cash & Carry on World Trade Center 11 offers take-away goods. Prepare order materials or stock for the signed location.
List what Dallas Market Center supplies and what the exhibitor or vendor brings. Match delivery labels, receiving instructions, and setup ownership to that list.
On the contracted opening day, check product visibility, staff access, and the correct order or take-away handoff before the first buyers arrive.
Rental Display Options for an Assigned Dallas Market Space
Bring your building and floor, dimensions, supplied fixture list, selected product sizes, and sales format to the rental review. Those details will show which additions fit and which need separate approval.
Are the full Market and The Temps open on the same dates?
No. The full Market is January 6–12, 2027. The Temps run January 6–9. Use the dates in your exhibitor agreement for staffing and move-out.
Does every exhibitor get a 10×10 booth?
