Lately trade shows have been generating a lot of discussion in the kids’ industry. Weigh in on how you are effectively using national and/or regional trade shows to do business. If you are beginning to rely less on trade shows, why is that and what are you doing instead? Finally, in your opinion, what can trade show organizers do to make the events more effective for exhibitors and attendees?

Everybody’s got an opinion, right? Here’s one place where every opinion is welcome. Which designers/manufacturers and which retailers/etailers are getting it right? Could it be a designer who understands how to create clothing that’s as attractive as it is affordable? Could it be a manufacturer or multi-showroom sales rep who understands the importance of flexibility in a challenging economic environment? Could it be an e-tailer who excels at generating traffic and sales? Could it be a retailer who really knows how to buy a collection and showcase it on the floor? Whoever it is, we want to know about them. Start squealing now!
