Application Now Open for Design Influencers at Fall Market
HIGH POINT, N.C., July 14, 2025 – The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) is now accepting Fall 2025 applications for its signature Design Influencers Tour produced in partnership with Esteem Media, inviting interior designers and other design influencers to apply by Monday, August 4.
Ten influencers will be chosen based on their digital content quality, posting frequency, and blog or social media following. Compensation includes a service fee and stipend for travel accommodations.
In October, the selected influencers will embark on a guided, two-day discovery tour at High Point Market, the world’s largest, biannual home furnishings trade event. Each influencer will then utilize their individual digital platforms to chronicle emerging furnishings trends along with new products identified in sponsor-showrooms.
“The home decor influencer will grow their exposure within the industry by sharing these insights,” says Adam Japko, founder of Esteem Media and the Design Influencers Leadership Conference. “It’s also a fun, fast-paced exploration of Market in search of innovation and creativity happening in the showrooms.”
“Since 2015, the Design Influencers Tour has proven to be a valuable marketing platform for High Point Market exhibitors seeking to showcase new products and collections,” says Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO. “The evergreen social media content generated by our program’s tastemakers helps drive visibility for furnishings brands well beyond Market week.”
This season’s Design Influencers Tour will take place October 26–27, 2025. To be considered, the online application must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday, August 4.
High Point Market exhibitors interested in sponsoring the Fall 2025 tour may email marketing@highpointmarket.org for more information. A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are available.
