It completely blows the other shows away. But dont take my word for it. See for yourself at www.theabcshow.com It was worth every penny to me. Great booth cost and a ton of fun to attend, I would definintely check out the ABC KIds Show in Vegas. It completely blows the other shows away. But dont take my word for it.

October & March Children's club shows are the "biggies" august and jan are secondary(jan is a must for us because of outerwear). Not sure if you are familiar with our line, but we've been in the kids business for 15 years and have 4 labels. We skip the august show in new york and do the kid show in Las Vegas for a couple of reasons. The new york show is too early for the buyers to buy spring, and too late for fall unless you have immediates for them to fill in with. It is also "back to school" season which sometimes makes it harder for the stores to attend. It seems buyers are shopping for "itemy" things i.e. hair bows, plush toys, novelties, christening dresses, etc. Not their Main line "buys". We used to do Magic show, but we got lost at that show....it is a sea of Licensed apparel ....barbie, sponge bob, Nick jr, etc, etc. and draws that type of customer...ie: Sears, Walmart, JC Penney, etc. The specialty stores & catalogs shop at the Kids show and that is where the higher end & boutique lines show. I would recommend you show your line at the Children's Club NYC and the Kid show Las Vegas & Atlantic city. Our sales reps also do their own regional shows...which they pay for...YAY...LOL... Good luck, let me know if I can be of any help....Kim Hi…Kim From Corky & Company here..here’s my 2 cents on shows.
