Ready For Licensing Show!
April retail sales were flat compared to March 2015 but showed an increase of .09% compared to April 2014. February thru April 2015 showed an increase of 1.5% over the same period in 2014. In April, retail sales in Clothing, General Merchandise, Furniture/Home furnishings all showed slight increases. With that said, things appear to be improving, but we sense that our clients are proceeding with caution. As I have mentioned, the early tradeshows have been good and well attended and the buyers have been ready to commit. Hopefully the consumer confidence will continue to improve over the coming months.
We are excited for the upcoming Licensing Show in Las Vegas. We will be in space L165, which is the same space we have been in the last three years. We will be featuring new finds from our archives, as well as new designs created by our graphics team utilizing elements from our content. We will also be featuring art from Kim Parker,

which will be seen for the first time at this market. Kim has had great success in the home and tabletop sectors and we are confident her art will be well received.
We have a busy appointment schedule at the show, but would love to have a chance to meet with all of you who are planning on attending. Please feel free to contact me directly to schedule a meeting.
