Re: Who here will attend the magic show in august?
Gosh I wish I was going, but I simply can't afford it at the moment. I wish I can go just to get a feel for it. Anyway let me know how it all turns out and stuff. Pictures and all work too.
Re: Who here will attend the magic show in august?
yeah it kinda sucks for me, I wanted to check it out first before I actaully had a booth but if I don't launch my line this August that will put me back till February of next year and I can't do that. So unfortunately for me, my first time being there I will be ina booth so I won't get to enjoy the show at all, I'll be working all day.
Re: Who here will attend the magic show in august?
Feilong - how did your process of getting your booth go.
I too am planning on attending my first time, haven't even been to it either so just wondering what your experience was like and if you don't me asking the price.
I've looked at thier site, but side costs, like booths or other thing one might not concider?
Re: Who here will attend the magic show in august?
On the Magic Site eveything is there to get a booth,insurance,cable,setup times and costs.I went in feb and will be going again in August.Hope to see all T-shirt forum members there. Remember wear comfortable shoes.Dont forget to check out the Organic Show,not alot of vendors,but you may get some good organic info links.
Re: Who here will attend the magic show in august?
We usually attend MAGIC/PROJECT/POOL as retailers. We are there usually every show, except this past Feb, it was over Valentines.
I think POOL is great for many up-and-coming clothing label and designers. I know we picked up a few lines there, and we also frequent MAGIC, and especially PROJECT for the more higher end labels.
Re: Who here will attend the magic show in august?
HI Paulo, what determines "higher end" lines? If my products are wholesaling at $9 for tees and up and retailing for about $20 is that concidered lowend ?
I do want to create a better line of products that would be more expensive but still new to this and don't want to blow it ??
When is POOL and PROJECT?? actually I"ll search for them on line.
thank you

The labels usually at PROJECT as far as tees are Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier, SMET, Affliction, Sinful, Monarchy, etc.
Wholesaling between $25 - $100, retailing between $50 - $200.
POOL and PROJECT are apart of MAGIC, on the same days in. All the same, but I think the prices for exhibiting are definitely different.
