Later snow – shoe courier

Outside the snow trickled in Heilbronn, in the Venue Redblue the Sabu fair took place on February 14th and 15th. Many would have liked this snowfall for a few months, retailers and manufacturers agreed that the past autumn/winter business was characterized primarily by the mild winter. This does not mean that the season was going badly. Rather, there was a differentiated view of the sales. “Unfortunately, winter was missing and although we still sold quite a lot of warm -fed goods, there is also a lot in the camp,” says Jürgen Fritz von Schuhhaus Fritz in Lauterecken in Palatinate on the one hand. On the other hand, customers were quite willing to spend money on shoes. Under one condition: “Everything that fits well and is comfortable is also sold. That is the most important thing. Life is hard enough, it doesn’t have to be your shoes. ” Sporty and comfortable models from Skechers, Tamaris, Remonte and Rieker have gone more than feminine models. This year, there would be children’s shoes across all of the product groups at the Palatinate dealer. Ronny Müller by Josef Seibel says about the winter: “Despite the suboptimal weather conditions, we have had some positive results in our collection with the new one-brand concept.” Silvio Bongiovanni, active for Bär, observes that the trade demands more commitment after the season: “Many dealers still have inventory, have reduced the preliminary order and then want to follow more in the follow -up order. The dealers expect to be able to reinforce more, and it is a good development that there is more flexibility on the subject. Our pre -order share is currently around 60%. ” Frank Risse von Lloyd hopes to meet the expectations of the trade with the realignment and renaming in Lloyd Lifestyle: “The relaunch was well discussed in stores because we meet the wish of the trade with the improved margin, make a higher quality statement And address more women and men alike. ” Ronny Müller also emphasizes the needs of trade: “It is crucial that we have also increased some new groups in the calculation.” Elisabeth Aich von Schuhhaus Jung in Tettnang is very satisfied near Lake Constance, “even if the run on the function was logically not so strong this winter because it hardly snowed.” She succeeds successfully to make shopping, instead of setting it on need: “It is important not only to sell products, but also to tell stories, to be forgotten and make it smile. Accessories such as jewelry or belt in particular were sold very well this winter. “
