Brokering Business Relationships

“This show works well for me. Met with Billabong, DaKine and Flojos. Getting to San Diego is easy and the show times are good. I couldn’t ask for anything better. This is a great opportunity to see product in person, discuss POP, marketing, pricing and the current economic challenges.” - Gilbert Odio, Owner, XX San Jose, Costa Rica

Class@ASR Gets an A+

“We’re Networking and putting our partnerships together. There is as good energy here as I’ve seen in a long time. Seems like a lot of business going on with orders being written. Class@ASR is a nice addition, it was so convenient to just cut through the wall and a whole different vibe. The lighting, comfort and layout is great.” - Ben Johnston, Buyer, Coastal Edge, Virginia

Swim Season

“We’re buying swim for spring and summer including writing orders with Billabong, LSpace, and Luli Fama. Class is very nice, a big change and the swim brands seem to love it.” - Tom O’Hara, Owner, Gone Bananas Beachwear, San Diego

Quiksilver Reduces Carbonb Footprint

"Seeing everyone at ASR is much easier than getting on a plane to visit 30-40 individual accounts. It’s even just a carbon footprint issue of everyone meeting in one place versus flying all over. Our Latin American rep was so busy throughout with accounts from Mexico, Central America and South America.” - Dave Rosenberger, VP National Sales Manager, Quiksilver

ASR/Seventeen Runway Show "Fashionably Loud"

“The runway validated many of our favorite buys, which were also on the runway. We saw an O’Neill dress that we missed when we previewed the line and are going right now to buy it. There were also some good swim pieces that we hadn’t seen before, which we’re off to look at.” - Heidi Garvey, Buyer, Hansens, Encinitas, CA
