What the exhibitors told Footwear Today Magazine:
“MODA was a huge success for Chatham.
We wrote more forward orders this Autumn Winter show than we did last Summer – and Summer is our biggest season! We are extremely happy with the quality of the show’s attendees this year. “MODA was the perfect platform to launch our
new and extended Winter 2013 collection, which was received brilliantly by the buyers. We were able to attract a wide range of retailers and have signed many new distributors and retailers as a direct result of the show. We also used MODA to promote our continued association with the Sahara Force India Formula One team and our F1 simulator drew plenty of extra attention to our stand. “We’re planning for strong growth and MODA
was a great indicator – we’re feeling extremely confident about the year ahead.” Philip Marsh, MD of Chatham Marine.
"MODA this year was on par with last March but
not as strong a show as August, however for Steptronic Footwear it was another phenomenal success with new accounts and repeats in addition to forward orders. The brand is growing for us year on year and the new styles were very well received at the show." Justin Morgan, HB Shoes.
David Corben of Steptronic F ootwear added
"We're delighted with the work HB Shoes do for us in the UK, the Steptronic brand is already in over 1500 outlets worldwide and due to HB Shoes the UK coverage is expanding rapidly."
“We were very pleased with the attendance on
our stand at Moda. The new collections were well received especially with our new men’s formal styles and ladies soft boots.” Peter Ashton Ashton Associates GB Ltd.
“This seasons Moda was very well attended &
probably the busiest since we started showing 3 years ago. We were anticipating a strong show on the back of a successful AW12 & were pleased with the large number of high calibre new enquiries.” Ashley Fly, Fly London.
“Tamaris enjoyed a successful show, Sunday in
particular was very strong with the show getting off to an early start. Business was good on both Monday and Tuesday and we felt the show was an improvement on 2012. As always the show was well organised.” David Coles, T
amaris.
“A very busy start to the show with lots of surprisingly cheerful retailers looking to find new trends for the Autumn. Waldläufer’s success in becoming a finalist in the Comfort Brand of the Year Award helped to boost interest in our fast- growing brand.” David Bailey, Waldläufer UK.
“Mjus received a fantastic reaction from both
existing and new accounts at the Moda Show last month. There was a very positive buzz around the aisles and on the stands so hopefully signs of better trade are upon us! Gus Marshall, Crosby Shoe Agencies.
“The show exceeded all expectations for the launch of the first Gerry Weber Footwear collection in the UK. The range was bought by a number of new distribution channels including stockists of Gerry Weber Clothing, Department Stores, Footwear Multiples and existing key Josef Seibel Group customers. The quality and design of the range clearly spoke for itself with the number of orders placed.” Jennie Petchey, Brand Development Manager
, Josef Seibel UK Ltd.
“The latest Moda UK show was by far the best that I have attended. The ease of access from all parts of the UK means that customers travel there smoothly, park easily and then do a full day’s work. The selection of brands on offer means that a full cross-section of retailers visit the show and many of them found the VITTI LOVE collection to be very appealing. We opened 27 new accounts to add to all our customers from previous seasons.” “It is clear that retailers of all sectors are feeling
an urgent need for something fresh to "attract customers through the door" and to "make the difference from lower priced competitors", yet it must still be commercial and good quality. VITTI LOVE answers all these needs with a most comprehensive range of well-priced leather lined boots, with matching bags, in tantalisingly tempting combinations of colours and materials.” “VITTI LOVE placed an advert in the February edition of Footwear Today, in time for the Moda UK show, and this definitely added to our footfall and instant success with new customers.” Martin Ward, Vitti Love.
