United Luggage Dealers Associates has released Holiday Magic 2022

Grayslake-based United Luggage Dealers Associates has released Holiday Magic 2022, a gift guide for their member retailers.

The United Luggage Dealers Associates (ULDA) was formed about a year ago and succeeds the National Luggage Dealers Association (NLDA), which was founded in 1925. ULDA continues the NLDA legacy, helping retailers improve their buying and negotiating power, stock exclusive merchandise, market more effectively, share their industry knowledge, and enhance vendor relations.

"Our members are travel specialists who have all the latest travel and business gifts and accessories to make the holidays more enjoyable and this catalog will allow customers easy access to gift ideas," said Ron Levine, founder of ULDA. "We survived the pandemic, and now we're on the cusp of a great resurgence in travel." Locally, Irv's Luggage in Vernon Hills is a member and would be happy to provide a holiday guide.

Levine, who has spent his entire professional career in the industry, extended an offer of ULDA membership to an eclectic mix of specialty retailers. "We want to include members in complementary retail environments and look forward to working with manufacturers who support our vision. Consolidation in retail has meant fewer choices for consumers when it comes to finding stores that meet their needs," he said. "ULDA retailers will aim to enhance the specialty store experience and build customer loyalty with both consumer and corporate shoppers."
