This in-store program called STEP™ -- Scientifically Tested Everyday Proven™ -- was designed to help parents select the proper shoes to support a child's growth and development from ages one through five.

Ralph Lauren: RL Gang Interactive Children’s Picture Book with Back-to-School Shopping Focus
Ralph Lauren has hit on a new marketing concept: the virtual shopping story book. The RL Gang: A Fantastically Amazing School Adventure is available on the Ralph Lauren website as an interactive shopping tool (i.e., they let you click on the children in the video story to view their wardrobes and shop for them.)
The story, narrated by Harry Connick Jr., is not particularly well-written (the mention of "an amazingly amazing book" and "moist" apples made me cringe a bit), but I reminded myself that this is about retail marketing, not children's literature. And, as a marketing piece, it's great. Read the rest of this entry »

What is a Children’s Clothing Trade Show?
Back when I first began operating an online baby boutique, I used to visit Las Vegas (a quick flight for me) to attend trade shows. My goal was to learn about cut-and-sew companies that might be able to help me manufacture a couple of the ideas I had, as well as to see companies that had already found ways to do that and were now selling clothing, toys, or other baby gear that I could re-sell to my customers. Those initial experiences were definitely interesting, if not educational. Read the rest of this entry »
