gia – Celebration of Retail Excellence and Innovation

July 21, 2017

Every March in Chicago, the IHA Global Innovation Awards (gia) are hosted by the International Housewares Association. The gia awards, “the Oscars® of the housewares industry”, bring together the world’s most innovative retailers, all having been voted as the best in their country.

The IHA Global Innovation Awards program was created to celebrate excellence and innovation in home and housewares retailing on an international level. Since the launch of gia in 2000, there have been over 370 gia retail award winners, from 45 countries on six continents.

A jury consisting of retail experts and housewares trade publication editors from around the world decide on the gia Global Honorees after looking at all aspects of the participating stores, including visual merchandising, marketing, branding, staff training and other innovative offerings.
