It’s hard to believe we have yet another summer season under our belts! Just as you finally feel like you can pause and take a breath after a busy summer, it’s time to pack up and hit the road again to attend all the great retailer events that are happening this fall. Seaside retailers are always working, if not in their stores, then on their stores. But luckily for you, you love what you do, so all those late nights, weekends at the shop and road trips are well worth it.
You may have received this copy of Seaside Retailer in the mail, or perhaps you’ve picked it up at one of the many events where we are distributing the magazine. Either way, we are glad to have you as a reader. We hope you enjoy the latest issue and find valuable information for your beach, coastal or nautical store.
Inside you’ll find many helpful tips, inspiration and product ideas, including trends in beach towels, casual apparel, name-drops and health and beauty products. You’ll also gain some insight into how to incorporate interesting fixtures in your store. And in our cover profile on the Margaritaville Store at the new Margaritaville Resort in Orlando, you’ll find out how William Hill, the store’s new manager, is creating a retail paradise for guests to experience. Attendees of the Coastal Connections Conference, Oct. 3-5, will get to hear Hill speak and experience the resort and gift shop firsthand. We are so excited to be hosting our first conference for beach, coastal and nautical retailers in this island-like setting.
You can rely on Seaside Retailer and all these wonderful events to help you be successful for the next busy selling season.
Whether you are attending Surf Expo, Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show, Coastal Connections Conference, Panama City Beach Gift Show, Corpus Christi Souvenir & Resort Show, Ocean City Resort Gift Expo, Smoky Mountain Gift Show, IGES, Grand Strand Gift & Resort Merchandise Show or all of the above, we hope you have a great time exploring new products, meeting with vendors and gaining insights.
Indeed it is going to be a busy fall, followed by a busy winter, and then before you know it, it will be that bustling spring and summer season once again. You can rely on Seaside Retailer and all these wonderful events to help you be successful for the next busy season. And if you get a chance, we hope you’ll find time to swing by our booth at Surf Expo. We’d love to meet you and you’ll have the opportunity to subscribe to Seaside Retailer or renew your subscription.
