"A lot of our business is done online, telephonically, or through e-mail, so this type of event is the one time in a year where you actually get to meet your clients, especially out-of-town clients. We’ve really broadened our range of clothing, so the feedback received this year from visitors has been good. "

"This type of event is critical – its gets you face-to-face with your customers, with your sales teams, and is invaluable. Everything still comes down to relationships."

"It’s very important to be here, because we get to understand clients’ needs and wants, and their direction. The show is also good for networking; it allows industry leaders to get together and share ideas and products, and discuss issues there may be in the industry."
