Permanent showroom to feature Christian suppliers

Davis Marketing Group is bringing together several faith-based companies to display their products in all-inspirational, permanent showroom at AmericasMart in Atlanta.

"We are trying to take our companies to the customers," Pam Davis, president of Davis Marketing Group, said.

To date, the companies include:

  • Gifts of Faith, which recently received a license for Precious Moments and will unveil this product at the Atlanta gift show this month.
  • His Hands Laser, which offers inspirational gifts and home décor, including "If Walls Could Talk" and laser-engraved products such as engraved tile and pen sets.
  • Bristol Gift Co., featuring inspirational wall art and photo frames, including the best-selling "Home Rules" products.
  • Holy Land Gifts, which aims to help Christians understand the roots of their faith.
  • HeartSteps, which sells general inspirational gifts.
  • Nicole Brayden Gift/Divinity Boutique, which carries products from Bible covers to boxed cards and home décor to men's ties.
  • LuTroo, with its wood products handmade in the USA, the most popular being the "Hang It On The Cross" line.

"Most of the above companies have been active participants in CBA," Davis said. "However, when CBA discontinued their January show, it left them without an avenue to reach their core customers. After some research, it was very evident that a lot of their customers were coming to the Atlanta show in January and this is where they needed to be."

Gifts of Faith and His Hands Laser previously have had a permanent showroom at AmericasMart, but expect the products to be more visible in the new showroom with all faith-based companies.

"Each and every customer will have the opportunity to see all product lines, nothing gets lost in the overall layout," Davis added. "We are creating an intimate, family type environment."

The showroom will open with a ribbon-cutting Thursday. It is located in Building 2, 1330A/1361B.
