Some Exhibitors at MAGIC Apparel Show Report Sales Jumps
Las Vegas, NV – The careening mood swings that have characterized the stock market in the past couple of weeks have intruded into the day-to-day economy as well.
As the giant MAGIC apparel show concluded on Wednesday, exhibitors reported widely differing results as retail store buyers tried to calibrate orders to expected customer demand. Even within similar categories or price ranges, some vendors saw better days coming soon while others braced for the second act of a double-dip recession.
“The show went well for us,” said Cindy White, wholesale sales manager for Henderson-based Tatyana LLC, which makes the Bettie Page line of women’s clothing. “We were getting new customers and the size of the orders from existing customers was up. If they ordered $20,000 before, they ordered $40,000 this time.”
