Slap, Tag’d, Glow And Step Counter Collection of Watches Wowed Retailers In The Opening Weeks Of 2024 From Atlanta & NETS to Spielwarenmesse & ToyFest
New Brunswick, NJ (March 19, 2024) –As buyers finally unpack their suitcases from a whirlwind of coast to coast and global trade shows, they all agree one thing. All the zooms in the world cannot make up for the in-person joy and connections created between buyers and manufacturers. Watchitude Co-Founders and brothers Albert and Dan Hakim attended numerous shows over eight weeks and brought home significant orders from not just U.S. retailers but markets in the Europe Union and the Middle East.
“Our top four orders across the board, signaling strong consumer and retailer confidence, included Slap ($22), Tag’d ($22), Glow ($22) and Step Counter ($32) watches,” shared Hakim. “Buyers appreciate that our watches are collectables. Kids across our nation and around the world seek out these unique designs that shows off their attitude.”
Indeed, Watchitude’s increased order writing started in January at the Atlanta and Dallas Shows and exploded in late January into February at Nuremberg, Germany’s Spielwarenmesse. Watchitude’s international reach will now include Germany, Greece, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden plus the Middle East. Watchitude expects additional countries to come through with written orders.
February’s North East Toy Show (NETS) in Springfield, MA continued the momentum and excitement of buyers as they plotted their 2Q, 3Q and 4Q budgets. Last week’s Las Vegas ToyFest hosted over 500 manufacturers and Watchitude’s booth was busy each day. One of the company’s strengths is its relationships with retail buyers and an ability to create product quickly to fill their expressed needs.
In addition to wrist watches, the company headquartered in New Jersey boasts a wide assortment of artful accessories, speakers, toys, night lights and sporting goods. Discover what’s new at https://www.watchitude.com.
