Between all the exciting shopping excursions, baby shower gifts, and hand-me-downs from friends and relatives, new parents often end up with an abundance of baby outfits in various sizes even before the baby arrives. With the clutter of so much apparel, many adorable outfits can be easily overlooked and quickly outgrown. The Happy Closet has the perfect solution for organizing baby’s closet, ensuring that cute outfits in the appropriate size are easily located and enjoyed.

According to Milk Money Boutique’s store owner, Rita Thomas, her children’s specialty store in North Carolina is “for the child who has everything but deserves more. At Milk Money, every day is a special occasion.” Rita shares how she went from marketing for the federal government to marketing her own store and its assorted collections of quality apparel and gifts for boys and girls. Inspired by a move to North Carolina, her own sense of style and how she wanted to dress her son, Rita is successfully showing everyone that a little “milk money” can go a long way in making children and moms feel special.

Is your business ‘Social’ enough?

7 W New York Winter Gift and Home Textiles Market Week was a great kick off to the New Year, with attendance up 25% and all signs pointing to a prosperous 2010. The success of the first ever NYC Baby & Kids Fair was yet another indicator of good business ahead. The two shows attracted a varied and notably enthusiastic group of attendees who checked out the trove of new and cutting edge wares in a variety of categories. In contrast to the city’s winter chill, inside 7 W, a feeling of spring was in the air.

i attended the first 7 W NYC Baby & Kids Fair earlier this week. I have been to so many trade shows over the past 30 years, but I have never attended a children’s trade event that offered as many perks to both buyers and exhibitors. Congratulations to the 7 W sales and management team, as well as the entire staff of the building, for hosting a successful and first-class premier event.

The Consumer Electronics Show was just held in Las Vegas, and sometimes you can get a feel for the economy and markets in general from this show, as it is the first big tradeshow of the year.

GOOD NEWS! Attendance was up at the CES over 2009. This bodes well for the economy, as it may just be that consumers are finally starting to feel a little more positive.

Offering an extensive itinerary of events and educational programming

7 W New York’s suites and temporary exhibitors are geared up for another successful Gift and Home Textiles Market Week® (January 29 – February 4), complete with a comprehensive line-up of events including appearances by celebrity Robin Givens and designers, Amy Calandra and Dr. Jeanette Wolfe as well as product demonstrations and unveilings. The week includes numerous networking events as well as the exciting launch of the first-ever NYC Baby & Kid Fair on the building’s 11th floor (Jan 30 - Feb 1).
