Casey, president and chief executive officer of the High Point Market Authority. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The site was originally designed with an operational focus, and that functionality is still vitally important. However, our emphasis now is on providing the kind of content that gives retailers and manufacturers the tools necessary to grow their businesses.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>\n                        <!--adsense--><br \/>\n\t\t <!--more--><br \/>\nBetter reflecting High Point\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s brand as a premier home furnishings Market, the site is designed to serve as a source of ideas and inspiration.

The High Point Market site is now a destination for the entire industry that provides both world-class content and functionality.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Visitors to the High Point Market site are also privy to special discounts on airfare and rental cars, as well as a complete listing of area accommodations, a restaurant guide and information about the free transportation system that serves the Market. And, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153while time is running out, for those who act quickly, there are still some discounted hotel rooms to be had for Fall Market,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Casey adds. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The special sub-block program that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve orchestrated in conjunction with local hoteliers works on a first-come, first-served basis, so the earlier you make your reservations, the greater your opportunities are for saving money.
