2010 Salt Lake City outdoor show opening industry prospects are getting better

2010 Salt Lake City Outdoor Retail Expo grand opening again in the Salt Palace Conference Center. The debut of more than 170 brands, the heavy return of many industry giants and the increase of the pre-registration of professional visitors will undoubtedly show the prospect of a greatly improved and optimistic outdoor industry. Outdoor product distributors and retailers from around the world come together to source the latest products scheduled for the 2010-11 Winter to populate shop shelves or online. For the prospects of this exhibition and the development trend of the outdoor industry, exhibitors and industry professionals have expressed their views, Jerry Rinder, Woolrich's vice president of marketing, said he did not like the end of last year's Salt Lake City outdoor show and still remembers the farewell to retailers who had worked with for years, hoping to see them this year. "There was a lot of worries about the economic outlook this time last year and everyone was scared and I heard a lot of things like 'If we can survive this crisis we will be able to overcome any difficulties'," he said. "The retail industry is suffering A big indirect effect, some stores did not quite survive to become closed down. "Things have changed a lot this year, and buyers in front of our booth are ready to place orders, and they have a purchasing budget and the outlook for 2010 looks really good. Kenji Haroutunian, executive director of the Salt Lake City show organizer, said that the number of exhibitors at the 2009 Winter Show slightly declined from the previous year, but the number of visitors was virtually unchanged. "Last year, most industries were caught in a horrendous black hole and did not know what would happen next," Haroutunian said. "But there's a clear sense this year that we've had the toughest moments when we From the crisis gradually restored, the market conditions will become better. " The bustling economic situation has failed to stop Salt Lake City tours from Victoria and Michael Kathrein in Chicago. Their siblings intend to open a new travel shop in Illinois by the end of this spring. They found a supplier available at the show, but still showed a strange look when they learned they were going to open a new store. "We saw a lot of expressions of surprise and doubt," said Victoria Kathrein. "But we think the economy will rebound quickly, and that is our chance." Peter Metcalf, chairman and chief executive officer of Salt Lake City-based Black Diamond, said order volumes dropped at the show last year and more buyers are placing orders this year as they expect consumer interest to grow. The sluggish economic situation will not recover so easily, but in the end, often, such an economic situation offers opportunities for the most powerful companies. When the economy is not good, many companies are forced to concentrate on producing the best products, increase the intensity of new product development.
