OFFPRICE Continues to Grow in Attendance and Size
Retailers have discovered OFFPRICE is the place to be for quality apparel at almost unbelievable prices. More than 500 exhibitors carrying products at up to 70 percent below wholesale costs provided a buzzing show floor at the Sands Expo at Venetian/Palazzo, in Las Vegas (Nev.). The February 2014 OFFPRICE Show enjoyed gains in two important trade show categories: Retailer attendance and net-square-feet. OFFPRICE experienced a healthy retailer attendance gain of six percent from its February 2013 show. Attendance climbed above 8,000 retailers for the first time in over six years. Combined with an expanded show floor of 132,000 net-square-feet, the largest in its history, it made for a successful and vibrant fashion and apparel marketplace.
“Our brand has seen historic growth lately,” said Stephen Krogulski, chief executive officer of OFFPRICE. “More retailers, big and small, from all 50 states, and around the globe, are discovering how a trip to the OFFPRICE Show can fuel their store’s growth and increase revenue. Great products from nearly every apparel category can be found at OFFPRICE.”
The popular Cash & Carry section was moved to the Venetian Ballrooms in February 2014. As a result of this new space, there was an increase in the number of Cash & Carry booths at the recently completed show. 68 booths awaited eager buyers in ballrooms. The previous high for Cash & Carry booths at OFFPRICE was 53 in August 2013.
“This show has been our best show ever, we’ve been growing and growing,” said Gitu Mehta, CEO-Sales, at India Boutique Inc. “This year with the placement of our booth, we had a tremendous response. At 8 a.m., as soon as the show opens up, our booth is packed. Day one we were here till 8 p.m. writing orders.”
OFFPRICE returns to the Sands Expo, August 16-19, 2014.
