Meet Mothers of Invention at The ABC Expo, Sept 13-16

By david gaunt

Mom Inventors Help Build the Baby Business with Inspired Inventions!
This week, The Giggle Guide^® will highlight some new products and line extensions premiering at The ABC Kids Expo, Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept 13-16.

SummerMuff is a soft sac that lines infant carriers, strollers and joggers to provide baby comfort and protection from the sun’s harmful ways. It’s invented by a mom, Colleen Schropfer, who brought the product to market after looking for something to protect her own child. Dipe n’ Go is another real-life solution to a problem that inspired mom Rose Marie Iskowitz to change the way parents change diapers on-the-go. At the ABC Show, oftentimes, moms are the mothers of invention!

Denise Raeside, KidShow Manager, says in her welcome letter, “Buyers are buying albeit carefully, but they are buying and that is a good sign.” Energy, and positive hopes for Spring 2010 motivated buyers shopping over 300 brands at the KidShow’s opening day. Buyer traffic was strong, and many exhibitors were very upbeat about the number and volume of orders written. Not just looky-loos here!

By The Giggle Guide

Meet Kristy Awald-Stafford, owner and inventor of the ToyWrangler™ from LuvLoo™. Kristy shares her “Behind the Brand” journey from active mom of two young boys to entrepreneur and enterprising businesswoman. She is a great example of how recognizing a real need begins the process to invent, manufacture and market a product that becomes a company. In her case, she saw a need for something that would eliminate constantly picking up and searching for things tossed down by her young ones. ToyWrangler was the answer. It’s something everyone with small children can use!

Retailer Tools and Tips for Attending Trade Shows

By larabryn

This is one of my favorite times of year. It’s warm, beautiful and green outside and instead of going Back-to-School, I start Part II of my bi-annual trade show circuit. Current count: 2 down, 6 to go.

Trade show season is in my top 3 “Things I Love about my Job.” It starts with unpacking box after box of Spring 2010 samples and continues with meeting new clients, networking with colleagues and visiting beautiful cities all over the US. It’s crazy, it’s busy and I occasionally feel like I’ll never “get it all done” by October 31st but… I’m happily addicted to this time of year. We can always sleep in November, right?
