Dallas Market Center will introduce Market Fast Pass, an easier way for buyers to receive their badge beginning with the January 2014 show set for Jan. 17-23, 2014.


Market Fast Pass will replace badges that have been mailed prior to gift and home markets. 

 The Market Fast Pass will be sent via e-mail several days before each market to buyers who provide Dallas Market Center with a working e-mail address. Buyers will print out the pass, bring it to market and then show it (along with a photo ID) in a specially designated Fast Pass registration line at market. A barcode on the Market Fast Pass will be scanned and a Market Badge generated in a matter of seconds.  

“Our buyer surveys tell us that attendees increasingly prefer communication via e-mail because they can access their messages any time, any place,” said Steve Dumas, vice president of marketing operations at Dallas Market Center. “This system will eliminate the worry of mailed badges that are sometimes lost, delayed or damaged.  Buyers can spend more time shopping and less time in registration lines.”            

Buyers who do not have an e-mail address or who do not bring their Market Fast Pass to market will receive their badge from the regular registration lines at market. For more information, call 800-325-6587 or complete a form online at dallasmarketcenter.com.
