2014 Fashion Trend: Statement Necklaces By Katy Albrecht

ON TOP of the fashion food chain this year are bright, chunky statement necklaces. If you don’t believe it, walk into any store at the mall and take a look around. It is guaranteed you will see at least one section overflowing with these vibrant necklaces. Why is this trend so “in” right now? It’s a quick way to turn ordinary outfits into freshly chic, and convenience and comfortably stylish are the keys to fashion trends. That’s why there are crazy, bold necklaces in stores, so women can feel relaxed in their attire without looking unadorned. Still not entirely convinced? All women can pull off this style. For example, a customer could come to your booth that has more of a mod look, but secretly loves floral prints. Perhaps they feel that it is a bit too bold for them. A collared floral necklace can be worn to satisfy this love, and add a touch of glam. It’s enough to get customers out of their comfort zone without feeling flashy. Statement necklaces are the most versatile and affordable fashion accessories of the year. Fashion

aside, they are real money savers. There are those days when you feel the need to rummage through your closet and debate whether or not to get rid of those plain t-shirts that aren’t getting much use. Simple shirts can be paired with a crystal embellished necklace, to give a complete look without putting a hole in your wallet. If you don’t currently sell these bold necklaces, they are a must-have purchase to increase profits. There are hundreds of styles to choose from, including pearls, rhinestones, crystals, and polished metals, for every woman of any age. Find styles that fit the atmosphere of your booth, and place them in the front or by your check out station for impulse purchasing. It’s a brilliant way to sell and keep this fashion trend alive. The exhibitors at the OFFPRICE show have statement necklaces at reasonable prices, so it’s worth a visit. ■ Katy Albrecht is the Buyer Relations Coordinator at OFFPRICE. She received her BS degree in Communications Technologies, with an emphasis in Public Relations. OFFPRICE is an apparel industry trade show, featuring products typically available for up to 70 percent below wholesale prices. The show takes place in Las Vegas every February and August.

Vendors Tech Use Grows in 2014

El uso de la tecnología por los vendedores crece en 2014

INTERNET USE continues to trend up as flea market and swap meet vendors and managers become increasingly tech savvy, according to the 2014 State of the Flea Market Industry survey conducted by Sumner Communications (SCIR 2014). Almost three-quarters of the vendors surveyed (67.9 percent) said they prefer to order online, over the phone or through email, and 44.3 percent consider product ads or searches on wholesale websites to be the best source for finding new merchandise. The 2014 State of the Flea Market Industry survey also found that the majority of vendors are making use of the expanding technologies. This year’s survey shows 74 percent own a smart phone or tablet, up from 57 percent last year. This significant lift of nearly 30 percent year over year reflects the dramatic change in how technology has moved into the small business arena. 88.9 percent are using various apps, including POS, and 75.4 percent said they would like to see a wholesale shopping app hit the marketplace. Recognizing the power of the Internet as means to connect with shoppers, 48 percent of vendors presently without a website say they plan to launch one in the future. In addition, 42 percent of vendors surveyed have a social media presence, up from 33 percent in 2014. While vendors may be slower to integrate social media, 78 percent of the market owners surveyed have a dedicated website or social media venue to promote their business. To capitalize on this shift to online research and buying, vendors and managers must stay on continued on page 46 44

EL USO de Internet sigue registrando una tendencia positiva mientras que los vendedores y gerentes de los mercados de pulgas y reuniones de intercambio se vuelven cada vez más expertos en tecnología, de acuerdo con la encuesta sobre el Estado de la Industria del Mercado de Pulgas de 2014 realizada por Sumner Communications (SCIR 2014). Casi las tres cuartas partes de los vendedores encuestados (67,9%) dijeron que prefieren hacer pedidos en línea, por teléfono o a través de correo electrónico y el 44,3% considera que los anuncios o las búsquedas de productos en sitios web de venta al por mayor constituyen la mejor fuente para encontrar nuevos productos. La encuesta sobre el Estado de la Industria del Mercado de Pulgas de 2014 también descubrió que la mayoría de los vendedores está haciendo uso de las tecnologías en expansión. La encuesta de este año muestra que el 74% posee un teléfono inteligente o una tableta frente al 57% del año pasado. Este aumento significativo de casi el 30% año tras año refleja el drástico cambio en cómo la tecnología se ha trasladado al ámbito de las pequeñas empresas. El 88,9% utiliza diversas aplicaciones, incluso los puntos de venta, y el 75,4% dijo que le gustaría ver aparecer en el mercado una aplicación de compras al por mayor. Al reconocer el poder de Internet como medio para conectarse con los compradores, el 48% de los vendedores actuales sin un sitio web dice que planean lanzar uno en el futuro. Además, el 42% continúa en la página 46

Ramson’s Imports: A Family Affair

Ramson’s Imports: Un asunto de familia

THERE’S A special quality you see in families working together to build a business, and that describes the Chabria family, owners of Ramson’s Imports. There’s vice president and treasurer Mahesh, the face of the business at industry shows, along with his wife Rakhee. And of course, his parents, Manu and Nita, who established the Columbus, Ohio, business back in 1971 and are still very active in it. Back in those days, they started by selling their wares at carnivals and flea markets; today they are a major wholesaler with 20 different licensed product lines—a “one-stop shop” for licensed products. Mahesh and the rest of the family are well known at industry trade shows like ASD in Las Vegas. “It’s that kind of industry,” he says. “You get to know people over 20 or 30 years. You learn all about them and get to know what they need. And then you go to these events and see your customers, or exhibit next to your competitors, people you have known over all that time.” Many of Ramson’s customers are repeat customers, a source of pride for Mahesh. As he puts it: “Anyone can sell you anything, but repeat business is what matters—being true to your customers.” This leads to the best type of new customer— the word-of-mouth customer. “I can’t tell you how many times people tell us they have heard about us from a friend, or we have

EXISTE UNA calidad especial que se ve en las familias que trabajan juntos para construir un negocio y ella define a la familia Chabria, propietarios de Ramson’s Imports. Tenemos al vicepresidente y tesorero Mahesh, el rostro de la empresa en las ferias de la industria, junto con su esposa Rakhee. Y, por supuesto, sus padres, Manu y Nita, que fundaron la empresa en Columbus, Ohio, en 1971 y siguen siendo parte activa de ella. En aquellas épocas, comenzaron vendiendo sus productos en los carnavales y mercados de pulgas; hoy son un mayorista importante con 20 líneas de productos con licencia diferentes; un lugar “todo en uno” para productos con licencia. Mahesh y el resto de la familia son muy conocidos en las ferias de la industria como ASD en Las Vegas. “Es ese tipo de empresa”, dice. “Tienes la oportunidad de conocer personas durante 20 o 30 años. Uno conoce todo acerca de ellos y llega a saber lo que necesitan. Y luego vas a esos eventos y ves a tus clientes, o exhibes al lado de tus competidores, personas que has conocido a lo largo del tiempo”. Muchos de los clientes de Ramson son clientes que vuelven, una fuente de orgullo para Mahesh. Como él mismo dice: “Cualquiera puede venderte algo, pero que se repita la actividad comercial es lo que importa: ser fiel a tus clientes”. Esto nos lleva al mejor tipo de nuevo cliente el cliente del boca a boca. “No puedo decir

It gives you a great feeling.” Since Nita and Manu started as small independent retailers themselves, they also have a genuine appreciation for their independent flea market customers, the ones who are now doing what they used to do. The company’s 152page catalog is packed with merchandise ideas, ranging from metal signs to money clips, playing cards to patches, leather products to lighters. You won’t find just a few of each, either: There are 158 styles of wallets, for example. There’s also a wide variety of licensed products, including the ever-popular Betty Boop and Budweiser; an entire section of John Deere merchandise; hundreds of collegiate products; and even Confederate items. Very popular right now are the licensed military products, everything from belt buckles to bandanas to Semper Fi license metal license plate frames. “People have a lot of pride around the military and it’s great to be carrying these products,” he says. Even better, the money that’s raised from the licensing goes back to assist military families.

PERFIL DEL PROVEEDOR

Ramson’s truly is a one-stop shop for the general merchandise buyer. But it’s the family’s reputation and commitment to the flea market

cuántas veces la gente nos dice que ha oído hablar de nosotros por un amigo, o tenemos clientes que nos dicen que le entregó nuestro catálogo a otra persona y nos piden otro. Esto produce una gran sensación”. Debido a que Nita y Manu comenzaron como pequeños comerciantes independientes, también tienen un aprecio genuino por sus clientes de los mercados de pulgas independientes, que ahora están haciendo lo que ellos solían hacer. El catálogo de 152 páginas de la empresa está lleno de ideas para productos, que van desde carteles de metal a pinzas para billetes, de juegos de cartas a parches, de productos de cuero a encendedores. Tampoco encontrará solo algunos de cada uno: Hay, por ejemplo, 158 estilos de billeteras. También hay una amplia variedad de productos con licencia, incluyendo las populares líneas de Betty Boop y Budweiser, una sección entera de productos John Deere, cientos de productos colegiados e incluso artículos de la Confederación. En este momento los productos militares con licencia son muy populares, todo, desde hebillas de cinturones hasta pañuelos, marcos de metal para matrículas Semper Fi. “La gente siente un gran orgullo por el ejército y es genial llevar estos productos”, comenta. Lo que es aún mejor, el dinero que se recauda de la concesión de licencias vuelve

Bright Accessories: Turning Cellphone Accessories into an Impulse Buy 2014 HAS been dubbed “The Year of the Mobile Wearable,” with hundreds of new and colorful wristbands and smart bands hitting the market. All have one thing in common: They’re neon bright; made of slick, rubbery material; and tons of fun. Bright Accessories has taken that concept and applied it to accessories for the home and car, for smartphones, iPads, iPods—you name it. The reality is that accessories for most devices are boring. Enter all the colors of the rainbow—fluorescent green, hot pink, sunny yellow, vibrant blue—and all of a sudden, a power bank feels more fun. “The colors are so unique and eye-catching, it becomes an impulse buy for a 16-year-old girl,” says Bright

No one can live without their phones and music any more.”

Buying details The accessories sell for $1.49 each and can retail for anywhere from $4.99 to $7.99, which is a “juicy deal for retailers,” says Mohammad. A startup display with a variety of 100 accessories costs $150, and then retailers can refill as needed by

from thee News • Novedades Big Email Marketing on a Small Business Budget By Justin Hotard

Catering to today’s tech-savvy consumer requires small businesses to respond to this need with technology. Unfortunately, most small businesses do not have the luxury, time or the budget to spend on elaborate research and technology on how to best reach customers. However, the good news is customer engagement can be built with an effective email marketing strategy, often built right into POS. Using a mobile POS, users can quickly customize email receipts by including an image such as a business’ logo at the top, while adding in important details at the bottom, like the return policy and hours. Email receipts also can include discounts and offers for future purchases, which can help drive repeat business. Additionally, including a “thank you” is a simple gesture that can go a long way in building customer loyalty. Don’t forget to send new customers a welcome email and check in with less frequent customers by sending them a miss-you email. With a little planning and customization, email marketing can be a subtle, yet effective means to thank customers and give them a reason to come back again. ■

Gran marketing por correo electrónico con un presupuesto para pequeñas empresas Por Justin Hotard

La satisfacción de los consumidores expertos en tecnología de hoy en día requiere que las pequeñas empresas respondan a esta necesidad con tecnología. Lamentablemente, la mayoría de las pequeñas empresas no pueden darse el lujo o no cuentan con el tiempo o el presupuesto para gastar en el desarrollo de investigación y tecnología sobre cómo llegar mejor a los clientes. No obstante, la buena noticia es que el interés del cliente se puede construir con una estrategia de marketing por correo electrónico efectiva, a menudo integrada al punto de venta. Mediante el uso de un punto de venta móvil, los usuarios pueden personalizar rápidamente los recibos por correo electrónico al incluir una imagen como el logotipo de la empresa en la parte superior, al mismo tiempo que pueden agregar detalles importantes en la parte inferior, como horarios y políticas de devoluciones. Los recibos por correo electrónico también pueden incluir descuentos y ofertas para compras futuras, que pueden ayudar a impulsar la repetición de negocios. Además, si se incluye “gracias” es un gesto sencillo que puede significar mucho en la construcción de la lealtad del cliente. No olvide enviar a los clientes nuevos un mensaje de bienvenida y acercarse a los clientes menos frecuentes con un correo electrónico recordándoles que los extraña. Con un poco de planificación y personalización, el marketing por correo electrónico puede ser un medio sutil pero eficaz para agradecer a sus clientes y darles un motivo para volver. ■

3 Social Media Tips

Gift Cards Raise Retail Revenue

1. Engage in two-way conversation. Ask questions and give your opinion on things to spark discussion and interact with your followers and target audience.

Americans love giving and receiving gift cards. They are always in demand and present significant incremental sales opportunities. According to a biannual consumer survey of 1,100 US consumers by the Retail Gift Card Association (RGCA), convenience and choice make gift cards and certificates extremely popular among consumers, making this a potential revenue source for vendors.

2. Have proper responses. Don’t just say “thank you” in response to comments. Personalize them by referring to the person by name.

Key findings include: Gift cards get shoppers to purchase more. 72 percent do some shopping for themselves when purchasing a gift card. Gift cards also increase sales during redemption; 45 percent of shoppers will spend more than the value of the gift card when they redeem. Gift cards are extremely popular. 77 percent of consumers have given a gift card in the past year, and 90 percent have received at least one in the past year. Consumers value choice. The number one reason shoppers like to give or receive gift cards is that they allow the end users to purchase what they want. ■

3. Be a little weird. Take risks and post content that may get a laugh or two from your audience and prompt them to share. ■

3 Consejos para las redes sociales 1. Entable una conversación bidireccional. Realice preguntas y dé su opinión sobre temas para provocar debates e interactuar con sus seguidores y el público al que desea llegar. 2. Responda de forma adecuada. No se limite a decir “gracias” como respuesta a los comentarios. Personalícelas haciendo referencia a la persona por su nombre. 3. Sea un poco raro. Arriésguese y publique contenido que pueda causarle gracia a su público e incítelo a compartir. ■

Las tarjetas de regalo aumentan los ingresos al por menor Por Mary Donovan

A los estadounidenses les encanta dar y recibir tarjetas de regalo. Ellas son solicitadas y presentan importantes oportunidades para incrementar las ventas. De acuerdo con una encuesta de consumo semestral de 1.100 consumidores de Estados Unidos hecha por la Asociación de tarjetas de regalo al por menor (RGCA, por sus siglas en inglés), la comodidad y las opciones hacen que las tarjetas de regalo y los certificados sean extremadamente populares entre los consumidores, convirtiendo a esto en una potencial fuente de ingresos para los vendedores. Las principales conclusiones son las siguientes: Las tarjetas de regalo logran que los compradores compren más. El 72% realiza algunas compras para sí mismo al comprar una tarjeta de regalo. Las tarjetas de regalo también aumentan las ventas cuando se canjean; el 45% de los compradores gastará más del valor de la tarjeta de regalo al canjearla. Las tarjetas de regalo son muy populares. El 77% de los consumidores ha entregado una tarjeta de regalo en el último año y el 90% ha recibido por lo menos una en el mismo período. Los consumidores valoran las opciones. La principal razón por la que a los compradores les gusta entregar o recibir tarjetas de regalo es que les permite a los usuarios finales comprar lo que ellos desean. ■

TRADE SHOW NEWS

Asia America Show Attracts Sellers From Around the World NOW IN its fifth year, the Asia America Wholesale Show has hit on the perfect formula for a regional trade show. According to Asia America President, Michael Finocchiaro, the show specializes in bringing diverse sellers from around the world together with buyers from South Florida, Central and South America, and the Caribbean, featuring a complete range of high-quality merchandise at good prices. “We are a multiproduct show,” he says. “Our buyers are coming from all over, and want a one-stop shop. We have everything from apparel and toys to souvenirs, fashions, gifts and housewares.” Although it’s called the Asia America show, sellers come from all over the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America. The main draw, Finocchiaro says, are new products, but there are also closeouts, liquidations, and clearance vendors. This is the right time for a trade show focused on this area, since South America recently surpassed China as the world’s fastest growing region, with 12% annual GDP growth last year. A frequent traveler to Central and South America, Finocchiaro reports seeing new cars and construction everywhere. Even the relatively small islands of the Caribbean are a $900 million market. “There is a new kind of

entrepreneur from these places,” Finocchiaro notes. “They are young men and women who want to develop their countries, and are looking for all kinds of products to take home and sell. Things are changing.” Asia America hosts two shows per year at the Miami Beach Convention Center, making access easy from the Americas and Caribbean. The upcoming show runs September 8–10, with a Spring show April 21–23. The typical Asia America show boasts about 280 exhibitors, and is currently in its fifth year of steady growth.

Ordering and pricing The Asia America Wholesale Show is only open to wholesale buyers. Attendees must prove they are a wholesaler, retailer, or distributor, or that they have traveled from overseas to gain entry. Early signups receive free entry to the show, and tickets are available during show hours for $20 each. ■
