It’s not often that you hear a politician speak and think, “hey, this guy’s onto something,” but I had just such an experience watching Bill Clinton at the Democratic National Convention. Now, before you click ‘delete’ on this email, rest assured. I’m not getting all political on you, so both you Red- and Blue-Staters can utter a sigh of relief.

I don’t know about you but the average low in Richmond, VA this winter was a mild 42! I am not complaining at all, but spring seems to be visiting us early this year based on my husband’s lawn mowing calendar. After having to cut the grass last week he announced we are a few weeks ahead of last year!

ABC Kids Expo attendees and exhibitors at the 10th Annual ABC Kids Expo® are in for a treat. The Kentucky Exposition Center and its partners are investing over $1.2 million in improvements in time for the tradeshow being held at the facility on October 14-17, 2012.

Returning visitors will notice a much broader sampling of Louisville’s spectacular cuisine at the convention center, such as:
• Additional healthy option menus and kosher options;
• More concession and specialty coffee locations throughout the hall;
• New look and menu of food and beverage offerings;

Since one of the benefits of attending trade shows is to get to know the people behind the brands better, I asked some of the exhibitors attending KidShow Las Vegas (February 13-15 at Bally’s) to preview the Must-See in their collections and a favorite Must-Do while in Las Vegas. And since the show is in luck city, I wanted to know about the luckiest thing that has ever happened to them in their lives. It was inspiring to learn that many replied that they were most lucky in love –– lucky to have their spouse, children and career in the children’s business. Read on, for some good luck tales about winning in Vegas too! Good luck to all. Happy Valentine’s and see you at KidShow Vegas!

Seventy-five percent of new moms are between the ages 20-34. Statics show more and more woman are waiting until they are in their mid 30’s to start families; despite this trend, the majority of new moms are 20-34 years old. This demographic
cohort is known as “Generation Y”. Retailers of juvenile products should become familiar with this demographic, because it makes up three-quarters of your customer base.

Do you remember the day you decided to open your retail store? You had such specific dreams and passions of where your store would be and the impact you were going to have in the community. This could have been 25 years ago or you could be a brand new retailer looking to live the dream of a happy, balanced, successful retailer store owner.
