		<description><![CDATA[The first day I arrived at FFaNY I couldn&#8217;t wait to go visit Ken and Kevan with J75 by Jump. I love these sneakers! The shoes keeps getting better and better, that can only mean that Ken and Kevan have been WORKING!! I mean the styles are hotter then the previous season.


The female sneakers are more feminine with just an extra touch. They added a small strap over the lace which finishes up with a small classy buckle.

Monique Capelta in her booth at SMOTA
 
Hello there! Erika here! As you may know I’m the new intern here at ShoeBiz. After a long week of hard fast paced work with the amazing Julia and learning a whole bunch of new things, I was given the task of attending SMOTA in Miami. Of course, I was extremely excited but the nerves kicked in as well.  Just the thought of meeting all these cool people that play such an important role i&#8230;]]></description>

One of them was Danielle from Corso Como, a hand-assembled shoe line made in Brazil in the most elite boutique factories. Danielle Rosen was very friendly and interesting to talk to as she is the Southeast and East Coast Territory Manager, based in Miami, FL.  She was very welcoming and enthousiastic about th&#8230;]]></description>

Whoa, so this is Beyonce&#8217;s shoe line! Pretty cool styles I must say! Rolling in on the floors of the smota showroom is the two fabulaous salespeople, Al and Rebecca, sporting two fabulous brands: Dereon and Naughty Monkey. Both owned by Beyonce&#8217;s main company: House of Brands in San Diego, California.

According to what Mr. Al from Atlanta says, Beyonce&#8217;s mother, Tina, used to be a seamstress a&#8230;]]></description>

I found The FLEXX, just relaxing in the middle of an aisle after they just experienced the typical hysteria of these trade shows: astronomically high food prices. spent $30 for four hotdogs, it was a stick-up in broad daylight! But despite the shock, we got to converse a little about their business.

I thought to myself, “What is it about these shoes that would make someone say ‘me too’?” So, like any curious Jorge would do, I walked up to it and was greeted by Mr. Smooth Max Taylor – He was just such a cool dude. We got on the subject of how much of a latin influence the SMOTA show has and that&#8230;]]></description>

Low and behold, I pass by this table that is full of small black shoes; all of similar style but different sizes. The both is leased by “IBIC” and so the spokesperson greets me and I ask him about why there are so many black shoes. He starts explaini&#8230;]]></description>

So be on the lookout as we highlight these companies, wholesalers and manufacturers alike, this week and the next. The traffic wasn’t as full as we had hoped for, but I had fun because it gave me lots of time to talk with the exhibitors and have them explain to me their company in detail. Supposedly, I hear that SMOTA will take place i&#8230;]]></description>

Also, just an interesting side note, the junior Olympic tryouts for girls volleyball is taking place in the Miami Beach convention center at this time – hundreds of teams nationwide, pretty cool. But anyway, The showroom is full of people and there are plenty of new faces on the scene.

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK —
The Shoe Market of the Americas saw a slight decrease in attendance for its fall 2009 show, which ran at the Miami Beach Convention Center from March 1-3. “We were about 8 percent down,” said Executive Director Beverlee Maier. “As expected, everyone’s being conservative. But we were pleased with the turnout.”

Joe Emick is the Territory Rep for Charles David covering all the Southeast and New Orleans. Joe is based out of Miami, so hopefully I will run into him every now and then! He has a realistic and true outlook on the industry which to me is always refreshing. I asked him to give me the top five ways to sell to the Southern woman. Being from Charlotte, NC. I was curious what he had to say!!
