Is your business ‘Social’ enough?

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.

Lullabies are traditionally used to transition young children into peaceful sleep. However, current research also indicates that infants have the ability to retain portions of what they hear during sleep. Comforting music may help them wake up energized and ready to absorb the wonders of their world. Rockabye Baby Music, Hushabye Baby Music and Sleep Lullabies offer a new age symphony of relaxing harmonies to help calm and nurture such developing young minds. When it comes to lullabies, babies have never had such a hit parade of merry musical innovations and orchestrations.

Turn rock-n-roll into rock-a-bye baby, with unique products designed to let baby share the vibe. Some studies indicate that extreme volumes may contribute to low birth weight and other developmental problems. However, the sound of silence isn’t the answer. Early exposure to music and sound can actually help with development and bonding, as well as having soothing and comforting effects. Nuvo and Bellybuds and have created innovative products that allow moms to safely share music with their unborn child. Throughout pregnancy, mother and baby can bond to the gentle beat of a soon-to-be-born generation! Any requests for “I’ve Got You Babe?”

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are emitted from cell phones, microwaves, televisions, computer monitors, household appliances and many other common sources. We’re all exposed to EMFs on a daily basis and concern over the potential health effects of such exposure is on the rise. Some experts content that EMFs can increase the risk of various birth defects and have other detrimental effects on fetal development. That is why the doctors and scientists working at Protec Maternity Wear LLC have designed maternity blouses that help protect both pregnant woman and fetuses from the potential risks of EMFs.

Experts agree that early detection is a woman’s most effective line of defense against breast cancer. Monthly self breast exams are of vital importance, and yet in the fast pace of today’s modern world, it can be hard for women to remember to do this simple, lifesaving task. double u products believes they have the solution with their award winning DaysAgo Digital Day Counter, a friendly reminder that can truly save lives.

This may not be something women talk about anywhere but in their diaries, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue. Some breasts are heavy, especially when breastfeeding. Inventor Cathinka Chandler has come up with the Kush Support, a clever, effective product for alleviating night-time discomfort that may come from having “tah tahs.” Kush’s anatomically contoured design fits neatly between the breasts and is made of non-slip, lightweight plastic that stays put, even when rolling over, without any straps, adhesives, underwire, or constraints, to help improve a woman’s sleep time.

This month, several conscientious companies are lending a helping hand toward finding a cure for breast cancer, and The Giggle Guide® recognizes them for their efforts to help make breast cancer a thing of the past. We can all do our part by supporting businesses that are going “pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, including Baby K’tan, Nature’s Baby Organics, Comfort Silkie, Piggy Paint and The Bo Peep Boutique.

ABC has been the alpha-buzz at children’s apparel and gift shows over the last few years. There is interest, anticipation and a little mystery among children’s apparel manufacturers about the ABC Kids Expo, September 13 – 16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. (http://www.theabcshow.com) I get asked more questions about the ABC Show than any other. Since JPMA discontinued its trade show a couple years ago, the ABC Kids Expo is currently the only national trade event designed especially for the juvenile products industry.
