The Thrill of the Hunt will Return to Fashion Week in Las Vegas 

Shoppers enjoying the thrill of the “hunt” in off-price stores has proven to be a strong theme in the last year, and retailers are capitalizing on it more than ever. Big or small, retailers across the country attend OFFPRICE to improve their stores’ bottom lines. The show, scheduled for August 12-15, 2017, at the Sands Expo at Venetian/Palazzo, will display an array of merchandise below wholesale value ranging from children’s apparel, jewelry and branded footwear to active wear, accessories and more.

“The OFFPRICE Show is the ultimate treasure hunt destination for retailers. Just as retail owners are looking to increase their profit margins, consumers look for the best value,” said Stephen Krogulski, chief executive officer of OFFPRICE. “The off-price industry offers the modern consumer high quality merchandise at unbeatable prices. With the increase in off-price stores, as well as their success – retailers have begun to emulate the off-price strategy to make their consumers’ shopping experience a successful one.”

The OFFPRICE Show enables retailers to build stronger relationships with vendors, discover new unique trends and increase their profit margins under one roof. Buyers across the globe from Canada all the way to the Caribbean come to OFFPRICE in hopes of replenishing their inventory in a cost effective environment. Retailers include off-price chains, boutiques, hospital gift shops, dollar stores, university bookstores, waterpark resorts and others.

While sourcing at the OFFPRICE Show this August, keep an eye out for recent updates and additions. The influence of fashion into children’s clothing has gained popularity and the OFFPRICE Show has expanded this category to accommodate children’s wear buyers. Not only has the children’s section grown, but the jewelry and accessories category will be seen more strongly on both the wholesale floor and the Cash & Carry located in the Marco Polo ballroom. Exhibitors make spring and fall products widely available at the August show. Rain boots, sunglasses, cashmere scarves, bracelets and leg warmers are expected to be among the hottest selling items.
