TRADE SHOWS
Wide-Ranging Shows in Las Vegas Keep Retailers Busy
Sustainability and combining e-commerce with bricks-and-mortar stores were topics that were front and center at the recent Las Vegas trade shows, which opened on Aug. 11 and closed on Aug. 16.
A number of seminars were held about sustainability, which was the focus of the Sourcing at MAGIC show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Figuring out the right retail formula that blends online sales with store sales was also a hot topic at more than 15 trade shows that covered four different locations.
Traffic for many of the shows was even with last year, but retailers and buyers who attended were more committed to placing orders as the U.S. economy continues to expand.
U.S. tariffs on Chinese clothing were on everyone’s mind and even kept a number of Chinese factories away from Sourcing at MAGIC.
