The New Year kicks off with the Metropolitan Shoe Show January 2, 2007.
Hoorahs
of the New Year in
will
still be echoing when the Women’s
Apparel Market Trade Show
begins Tuesday January 2nd
in
.
The International Lingerie Show
warms up in Miami, Florida
sunshine on January 21st and
as the sun works its way westward,
it comes to Las
Vegas on April 16. Trade
Show Directory & Calendar
.
With
Six shows going on concurrently in
including the gigantic Magic Show,
WWIN Show, Accessories the Show,
CURVE NV, KIDShow and the Off Price Show, it
appears like the
Fashion Industry shows and
conventions are moving Westward Ho,
only 150 years behind the
covered wagon,
the new Western Gold Rush.
To my understanding, in 2008
or 2009 the
Show will be moving to
itself the Party Show. Nowhere else can you visit
the Eiffel Tower &
the Statue of Liberty, eat at a International Restaurant see the
Paris
Follies Berg ere and a Broadway Show all in one day.
.
Speaking of a little bit of trivia, Halloween, the fastest growing holiday
has
put $5 Billion into the pockets of retailers in 2006.
.
In observing the shows, I find one thing tasteful,
and that is the
fantastic complimentary breakfast, lunches served and cold water
around every corner, hosted by the Specialty Trade Shows, welcoming you
to the WWIN Show.
Opening Day they are serving complimentary wine
and
cheese at six.
.
On behalf of my Retailer readers I look forward for a generous hospitality
standard throughout the industry. If it wasn’t for a couple of generous
aforementioned industry gentlemen we wouldn’t have a standard from
which to judge a new standard of etiquette.
