“One of the most disturbing trends I’m seeing at retail is a sameness in the product being offered. From the discount promotional stores to the high end, I’m finding very similar looks. It’s important to remember that consumers shop for design more than quality; they just don’t understand why two pieces with a similar look might have a price difference of, say, $1000. When business is tough, retailers have to show their customers something they haven’t seen before; you can’t get by with the same merchandise that worked last year, or products that can be found in a multitude of outlets. That’s why it’s so important to come to the High Point Market. If you can’t find something different in High Point, it probably doesn’t exist.”
