About Us
Step into shoebizness.com, the on-line forum for footwear professionals BY footwear professionals.
I launched shoebizness.com when I realized that there were so many talented, creative people in the industry who are at their best when they can connect with other professionals in a fun, energizing, fresh environment. But, I looked in vain for a place for this to happen on a regular basis. Shoebizness.com was created to fill that space, and I’ve been joined by a team of contributors who were all excited to get started!
Take a peek inside the minds of other shoe biz professionals in design, sales, management and production – live from your perspective while you learn from others and ours! We hope you use shoebizness.com to inspire, to share your ideas and to challenge conventional thinking in the industry…and perhaps even each other.
Shoebizness.com will feature perspectives from newcomers to veterans. If shoes could talk, we’re the voice of the comfortable pair of shoes in the closet, thoughts straight from the catwalk stiletto and everything in between.
As shoebizness.com grows, look for the images, musings and writings of a broad spectrum of those in the industry, focusing on the positive side, recognizing the best people and companies and written to showcase the best of what we all have to offer each other. Have an idea? Write us at info@shoebizness.com! We’d love to hear it!
In the future, we’ll add features including job postings, product announcements and other useful information. But we’re also on the lookout for the stories that tell a part of the shoe industry story that’s unexpected and different, so expect to laugh, to be refreshed, to be renewed on a daily basis.
From heel to toe, shoebizness.com is all about you…about us…live from your perspective, learn from ours!
In a spirit of learning, laughing and lifting each other up,
