The Brazilian Footwear return to its first in-person fashion trade shows since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and came out with positive results.
NOVO HAMBURGO, RS, BRAZIL, February 18, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Brazilian Footwear, an exports program developed by the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abicalçados) in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil), return to its first in-person fashion trade shows since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
Overall, the brands that attended the MAGIC Pop-Up show, which was held between Feb. 9-11 in Orlando, came out of the event with positive results: in total, brands made 111 contacts, of which 65 were new. In three days, the show generated US$ 615,000.00 (between orders taken at the event and expectations for the next 6 months) for the Brazilian brands.
The Trade Promotion Analyst of Abicalçados, Ruisa Scheffel, says that the results were above initial expectations with a return on investment of 9,000% to the participating companies. “The US market is recovering from the pandemic and this was made clear from the results obtained.”
In addition to the MAGIC Pop-Up in Orlando, Abicalçados and Apex-Brasil announce their participation at the In-Person Trade Show Atlanta Shoe Market with the following brands: Bottero, Verofatto, Pegada, Hanna Carmela, Shoetherapy and Petite Jolie. The show, which runs from February 20 – 22, is a must attend for anyone working in the footwear industry and provides a perfect opportunity for Brazilian brands to network with US buyers and market their business.
Recent years have shown that there has been a lot of international interest in the Brazilian footwear industry. Factors such as a favorable currency, more transparency about sustainable and ethically responsible manufacturing, as well as quality craftsmanship have created a business environment with incredible potential for 2021 and beyond. Ruisa highlights the importance of the North American show which in February 2020 generated more than US$ 1.6 million for Brazilian participants.
