 High levels of exhibitor loyalty and a unique service platform The engines are warming up for the next edition of Expo Riva Schuh, which will open its doors from January 16th to 19th 2016, inaugurating the footwear exhibition season. “We are very pleased with the high levels of exhibitor loyalty – say the organisers of Expo Riva Schuh. More than two months away from the start of the event,...
...we have already received over 90% re-bookings - a fact that is of even greater significance at a time of such uncertainty in the marketplace. The companies simply don’t want to miss out on Expo Riva Schuh, because it is here that they finalise the bulk of their seasonal orders and they are able to present previews of their collections well ahead of the fair calendar, giving the large chains the chance to open their seasonal ordering with extremely competitive timing, whilst retailers have the opportunity to see new styles, enabling them to fine tune their collections.”
By responding to market evolution, Expo Riva Schuh is increasingly becoming a service platform, creating an ideal meeting point between production and distribution, able to offer ad hoc services designed for the companies.
The international element is always at the core of the event’s DNA, which, during the last edition in June 2015 welcomed exhibitors from over 40 countries and 11,366 visitors from around 100 nations, offering companies a unique setting in which to discover new markets and strengthen business contacts.
As always, great attention will be paid to the groups of companies coming from major footwear-producing countries, including India, China, Brazil, Turkey, Spain and Portugal.
Expo Riva Schuh is also working in collaboration with ICE to welcome buyer delegations from the USA, Arab Emirates, Russia, Vietnam and Turkey. The aim of the initiative is to promote quality business contacts amongst the companies present at Expo Riva Schuh and sector operators, who are increasingly well-selected and qualified, coming from the most strategic and promising markets.
And finally, Expo Riva Schuh is getting more and more social: the event is upping its presence on social networks with its Facebook page and Instagram profile. It is a strategy to become even more widespread, creating direct, efficient contact with exhibitors, visitors and all of the fashion community, especially the international fashion bloggers, who will be involved in telling the story of the next event on the various social networks. International trade press will also be high profile, giving the event global coverage, and journalists have been invited from Iran, Sweden and Australia, amongst other countries. So make it a date in Riva del Garda at the 85th Expo Riva Schuh from 16th to 19th January 2016 to see the fashion trend reviews of the Autumn/Winter 2016/2017 footwear collections. (23/11/2015) |
