2014 Back-To-School Spotlight

2014 Back-To-School Spotlight

There’s No Spring Break for Retailers, It’s Time for Buying Back-to-School!

Brands have prepped their 2014 fall curriculum for Back-to-School days. Buyers are invited for final examinations of classic and new collections. Do your homework! Good retailing is a combination of due diligence, trying new things and finding solutions to challenges. The decisions you make now will prepare you for another school year and the all-important fourth quarter.

Children’s retail is a business of looking ahead. As we end the first quarter, it’s time to think about the year’s home stretch. The Giggle Guide™ has put these brands at the head of the class.

Dapper Snapper

(866) 998-8872

Dapper Snappers are a perfect fit for back to school shopping. Parents no longer need to struggle to find adjustable waist pants or worry about buying pants/shorts that fit now, but will be too short in a few months. The Dapper Snappers Brand has belts for all ages.

The Original Toddler Belts work for 6 months to 6 years and are more practical than traditional belts because there are no buckles to fidget with when your little one is at school. Once this half-belt is in place there is no need to remove it for diaper changes or potty breaks!

Dapper Snappers “Big Bids Belts” are designed with 6-9 year olds in mind. They are elastic and fully adjustable. These belts come in a variety of colors (standard colors perfect for uniforms) and patterns for that fun side! The boys belts have a magnetic buckle and the girls belts have and interlocking buckle.

Teeny Tiny Optics

For a great gift, appreciated by all, choose Teeny Tiny Optics!

We are celebrating our 21st year selling great kid’s sunglasses. The collection focuses on fun, fashion and protection. We believe that protecting our children’s eyes from the sun is as important as protecting their skin, and Teeny Tiny Optics is the best place to buy cute, durable, fashion forward sunglasses for children. From infants to teens, all of the glasses offer 100% UV protection. All of our baby styles have soft, flexible frames. Kids love them because they are comfortable and fun, moms love them because they are great protection, a terrific value and their kids will actually keep them on.

At Teeny Tiny Optics we are excited about our new styles for girls which include polka dots, stripes, bright colors and some bejeweled with crystals and rhinestones. For boys there are sporty wrap styles in solids, two toned, camouflage prints, spider web prints and styles with flames on the temples. The “aviator” style is so hot right now and we carry them from infant through teen sizes. We also carry a “classic retro” look in every size and our “attitude” glasses are totally on point with their clear lenses. Teeny Tiny Optics has been featured in Parenting, Earnshaw’s, Travel & Leisure Family, US Weekly and Parents magazines.
