FROM THE EDITOR MARCH 2022
The A/W 2022 Show Season is almost over for another year!
I hope those of your who bravely ventured out to attend the recent shoe trade shows, in the UK and further afield, had a productive experience and enjoyable? I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the shoe shows this season, so do drop me a line, my contact details are below?
I would like to say a big thank you to all those independent footwear retailers on our Best Sellers Panel who kindly notify me of their star performers. I am most grateful to you all and hope that I can look forward to receiving your continued support in 2022.
If you would like to join Footwear Today’s Best Sellers Panel, please let me know your range of brands and I’d be delighted to add your name to our list. Those who participate are invited by email each month to let me know their best-selling brands. I would need your five best sellers overall for ladies, men’s and children’s footwear. Also, your top five in the various categories, ladies/men’s comfort/casuals, ladies/men’s fashion footwear, ladies/men’s boots, ladies/men’s formal, etc. For Children’s Footwear it’s Pre-Walkers, Walkers, School Shoes and Sandals or Boots, depending on the season. But, if it’s just Ladies and Men’s or Children’s overall, that’s fine! Best Sellers Panel Members are offered the opportunity to ask questions or make comments to the trade, via our pages, or write articles/make contributions to the magazine. We also offer our panel members free Footwear News pages, so do let me know if you would like some coverage for your shop(s)? In return for your participation in Best Sellers, we will feature you and your shop(s) in our Retailer of the Month section (2-3 pages devoted to your shop(s)). Kind regards
