Are you looking for any last minute buys for your store before the silly season starts? Then check out our October-December edition featuring all the latest products that will surely fly of the shelves this Christmas. Additionally, if you are already looking ahead to 2017, our seasonal feature in this issue of Giftguide is Valentine’s Day.
Getting your merchandising sorted is extremely important for the upcoming busy months and no one knows this better than visual merchandising expert Sarah Quinn. She takes us through the most common merchandising mistakes retailers make and how to fix them, and she shares some VM rules you should follow as well.
This issue features some inspirational women who were lucky enough to turn their passion into a multi-million dollar business. Swedish entrepreneur Manuela Kjeilen dropped out of school at 16 and was married at 18, however, she now runs a very successful blog and trains pastry chefs for Abu Dhabi’s royal family. We also had a chat with Aussie online entrepreneur Emily McWaters, who turned $10K in life savings into a $10 million turnover, and we spoke to Ivy Muse founders Jacqui Vidal and Alana Langan whose Melbourne design studio has become the go-to label for indoor plant accessories.
The Melbourne gift fairs in August were another great success and we spotted heaps of new trends and products while walking the aisles at Life Instyle, Reed Gift Fair and AGHA Gift Fair. In our trade fair report we asked exhibitors about their new ranges, their ideal retailer and how to make the most of your time at the fairs. We also travelled overseas to attend Maison&Objet Paris in September and you can read all about that trip in this edition.
