UK Trade Show: Moda Footwear Update
Meanwhile, here in the UK, Moda Footwear continues to attract a diversity of leading international and British brands, keen to reap the benefits of investing in this professional trade platform.
Moda Footwear has always been respected for its ability to deliver a
commercial, focused order-writing event, where additional retail-focused live content adds further value for both exhibitors and retailers.
For buyers, Moda is an important opportunity to take a step back,
re-assess their product offer and feel inspired again about the season to come. It’s an experience that they can’t get from placing repeat orders on a line-sheet.
Buyers can dedicate several days exclusively to buying a cohesive
collection that will merchandise well and – ultimately – sell across the board. The show offers an unrivalled opportunity to discover those collections that will give a retailer an edge over their competitors.
Moda Footwear invests significantly in developing its database of retailers
as well as seeking out the brands that will keep the offer fresh. It takes all parties to recognise the importance of national and international trade events to make them a success, and much of Moda’s marketing, digital and visitor relations programmes run 365 days a year to communicate this, engaging all audiences to deliver a show worthy of its number one status.
The next edition of Moda Footwear will takes place 18-20 February 2018. Visitor registration is now open and free to trade buyers, visit
