Fashion Trade Shows 2020 | Wholesalers For Boutiques

***for the 2022 trade show list, click here**

 

If you are wondering how to buy wholesale or how to sell wholesale, you must attend trade shows and apparel markets!

Trade Shows are a major source of inspiration and empower you to stay abreast of emerging fashion trends and emerging brands in the fashion industry. Attending trade shows is truly an inspirational high and I strongly encourage retailers and boutiques to attend to discover new products and ways to refresh their assortment, and for brands to attend as exhibitors to connect with new buyers, boutiques, and industry mavens, and to stay competitive in their market.  Before you jump on the next trip to China to find manufacturers, you must make sure you have first attended national trade shows – I promise you will thank me.  It makes searching for wholesale clothing for boutique owners drastically easier and more cost-effective.

If you have been thinking about attending a trade show to find wholesalers for boutiques, but are unsure where to start, join Storefront Success™, our coaching program hosted by our founder DeAnna McIntosh.

And I beg you – DO NOT buy merchandise vendor lists. 

There are millions of products and vendors worldwide available to do business with. A vendor list means you are purchasing the same vendors that hundreds or even thousands of other boutiques are – hence competing with one another and not creating your own brand identity – which is not a sustainable business model.  If you’ve had thoughts about purchasing a vendor list, I would recommend you ask yourself what your passion is – is it to just make money or is it to serve unique and curated pieces to your customers?  The most exciting part of owning a boutique is the hunt for merchandise and the highs of the finds. 

If trade shows seem intimidating to you, that’s what we’re here for! Join us inside Storefront Success™ where we will equip you with knowledge about the retail business, help you get clear on your vision for your store, set financial goals, and source products that your customers will crave.

Here is a list of Major U.S. Home & Fashion Trade Shows and International Home & Fashion Trade Shows you should attend in 2020.

Click the name of the trade show for boutique owners to be taken to the show website.

Note: when you see multiple shows in the same city and dates, it typically means that they are all near one another / in the same buildings so you can attend multiple shows at once.  Shows or events outside the United States are highlighted in burgundy text.

Make sure you download the FAVES app for buyers before you attend a trade show! You will thank me later, trust me!

***please note – due to COVID, many trade shows have cancelled their in-person experience and moved to showing digitally.  Click the name of the trade show for the latest updates***

    Morning guys

    I have checked up your site using ahrefs and I noticed that you have some very solid backlinks.

    Could I ask you whether you got them off this site? https://wowitloveithaveit.com/products/quality-backlinks-for-your-website

    I have started my own site and I desperately need links to rank better on Google. I am on bloody page 20 and it sucks.

    Would be most obliged for your help and guidance.

    Cheers!

      Hi Diane!
      Thanks for stopping by. If you’re opening your store in August 2019, you will need to do your buying asap! Depending on where the manufacturers are located, it affects the time frame on how long it can take you to receive the merchandise upon placing your order. It also may take a while to get approval for a wholesale account with your manufacturers, and getting any agreements signed so you’ll want to make time for that. And once you receive in the merchandise, you have to give yourself time check it in, apply your hang tags, ensure that you actually received what you ordered (you never know!), steam it if it’s for a brick and mortar store, etc. I’d love to schedule a power hour with you to make sure you have a great foundation for a successful open! Or if you would like more hands on support, strategy, and project management, we can get you set up with a merchandising strategist who will be with you every step of the way in the coming months before and after your opening! And you can always schedule a free call if you’d rather chat about all of this with me! (all of my bolded text is clickable so you can easily get to what you need :-))

      Welcome to our space! So excited you are here. Have you tried exhibiting in one of the trade shows listed? That is one of the best ways to directly get buyer leads and get face to face time with them. We should totally do a one hour strategy call to determine the best options for you, and make sure you’re set up for wholesaling success. Here’s more info on that! Book A Power Hour. And I wrote an article on wholesaling that you may enjoy as well. Check it out: How To Sell Wholesale.

    Im impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog thats both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100 sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
