The ideal access point to the price-sensitive market
Specialists and decision-makers primarily seeking direct access to manufacturers from Asia all convene at the "tag it!". Among the visitors there are volume-oriented shoe manufacturers, franchisees, vendors, mail order companies, and representatives of discounters and shopping centres.
The new "tag it!" is organised by UnionFair Ltd. from Guangzhou, China, as well as 3s GmbH & Co. KG from Mönchengladbach.
"We're excited about the great demand on the exhibitor side. This shows us that it's the perfect time to begin the round of orders. The focus remains squarely on shoes and accessories for the international price-sensitive market," emphasises 3s CEO Philipp Johnen.
All shoe segments, from children's shoes to leisurewear, are represented at the "tag it!". The convention is of interest to well-known, internationally active volume dealers and, above all else, for buyers who want to order small sales quantities. "There will be exhibitors who can process orders below 100 pairs. There are especially some interesting exhibitors there when it comes to post-orders," says the event organiser. A detour into the Gallery Shoes, held parallel to the "tag it!" at the Areal Böhler in Meerbusch and where mainly European exhibitors present their wares, is thus also worthwhile.
New concepts and shoe designs on site, workshops, and a contest
A special emphasis on added value for visitors and exhibitors comes in the form of the new "tag it!" concept. One of the highlights is "Die Schuhleister". This young company, although well-known in the industry, offers the opportunity to design a shoe with the manufacturer on-site and enter preproduction. Young designers and start-ups who create a shoe with the "Schuhleisters" can participate in a contest: the shoe with the best design and business plan in the categories Women's, Men's, and Sneakers will be rewarded with subsidised production worth 5,000 euros each. This gives specialty buyers the unique chance to get in touch with young designers and be inspired by their creativity.
"Schuhleister" will also offer design workshops every three days. The cobbler trade will also be very vividly presented by a master cobbler.
Free bus shuttle to the Gallery Shoes and the airport
Alongside free entry, the new convention concept entails a free bus shuttle between the Gallery Shoes and the "tag it!".
Direct transfer from the fairgrounds to Düsseldorf Airport is also free. The allround satisfaction package available to all visitors is also rounded off with a deal on food available to all registered specialty buyers for free.
