MR Magazine and www.mrketplace.com

From our experience, there is only one trade publication that has supported regional trade shows,only one.

There is only one publication that speaks directly to specialty stores by addressing their needs and offering current and relevant information that can help them to succeed; there is only one source that offers recommendations based on salability and not abstract and wishful thinking.

That one resource - which pays more attention to what sells in the United States, and the North East in particular, rather than Milan, or a back street in Paris - and that's is MR Magazine.

In our humble opinion, MR has replaced the Daily News Record (DNR) as the new leading news source for Specialty Stores in the United States.

Further,

For daily breaking news, MR Magazine runs a very effective web site. We recommend you bookmark MR Magazines marketplace at http://www.mrketplace.com Subscribe, and you will get a daily email blast of all the breaking news. The service is free.

DLS Outfitters:

Perhaps one of the most effective buying groups in the United States is DLS Outfitters. We have had the pleasure of having Lee Leonard address the Boston Collective. A good friend and support of the show, DLS is a company to contact if you are looking for guidance in managing your business. Lee and the staff can be reached at dlsoutfitters.com or 212-581-6493

Apparel Search:

For the last ten years there has been one trade show web site that has been giving reference to the Boston Collective and the Connecticut Menswear Show. This source is the ultimate source for all domestic and international trade shows. We recommend you visit the following site to see all the international events available on a monthly calendar. http://www.apparelsearch.com/trade_show_by_category_mens.htm
