Consumers Choose "Bobux" Made From Eco-leather

2011-01-09T08:34:00.000-08:00

Bobux are the original soft soled leather baby shoes with the ankle elastic system that ensures they are easy to slip on and they stay On!

Bobux are made from Eco-leather, a soft natural leather, tanned in an environmentally friendly method that is safe for your baby.
Bobux designs face baby! After all they are the ones wearing them, shouldn't they have the best view of the cool designs.
Bobux are recommended by Pediatricians as the perfect footwear for children under two. The soft leather upper and suede leather sole allow the feet to function properly and grow without restrictions.
Bobux have no laces for kids to untie or trip over, and no fasteners to undo. a unique elastic system makes Bobux easy to slip on and they STAY ON!
Bobux are washable!
Bobux are handcrafted from only the softest natural leather, which means we don't have to line them. This allows the leather to absorb perspiration, keeping the feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Bobux feature a flexible, slip-resistant suede leather sole, ideal for toe gripping babies and toddlers learning to crawl or walk.

Since Bobux first introduced the world to its ‘soft soled leather shoes that stay on’, many imitators have copied the original Bobux elastic ankle design concept.
Currently, Bobux products are sold in over 18 countries world-wide including most countries in Europe, as well as USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
Over 1.5 million shoes are sold each year.

Here are some comments from a few USA customers!

"Bobux shoes are the BEST! My son has worn them since he started crawling around 6 months. They are well-made, adorable and stay on your child's feet. I have tried other brands along the way and no other soft-soled shoe fits him as comfortably as Bobux. My son's feet are wide at the toe area, which 99% of babies are. Bobux soft-soled leather shoes are made to fit the shape of baby's / toddler's feet. My son also loves to look at the various designs as the design is facing toward's him.

Our son is now 10 months old and took his first step last Friday! He started wearing the I-walk Junior about a month ago. These are so comfortable and provide great support for when your baby starts to pull himself up and try to walk.

There is no other shoe out there that comes close to the quality, comfort, and style of Bobux."
Thank you! S.C. Bridgewater, MA

"Bobux Are the best shoes ever! They stay on, they are soft and comfortable, and they are so cute. We always get comments, and I am always quick to recommend the brand. When my daughter was a baby, they were the only booties that stayed on. And now that she just turned 1, they offer soft and supple foot protection so that she can learn to walk properly. I only wish I had known about them three years ago when my son was little!Thanks for making such a wonderful product, and for being available online." K.S. Manhattan Beach, California

"These Shoes are awesome! My son is almost one and he wears his Bobux shoes every day. They never fall off and he can crawl and stand very comfortably in them. Baby shoes just seem so bulky for his little feet and get in the way when he is playing and crawling. He is about to start walking and I know his Bobux shoes will be the best thing for him. I tell everyone about how great these shoes are! Thanks!" S Van Winkle.

"I love your product! My daughter is 8 months old and hasn't worn shoes until recently. Every shoe that we would try to put on her foot would not go on or would not stay on. Since I discovered Bobux shoes she now has shoes on her feet when we go out. The best part is that they look so cute!" F.P. Arkansas

My son has been wearing nothing but Bobux for the past 7 months (since he was 5 months old). We love them because they are easy to put on the squirmy little boy, yet he can not take them off. His daycare teachers said they wish all the kids wore them, because they stay on so well. And they're so cute!" J.G., Rochester, NY

"I think your product is great! Your shoes fit beautifully and they really stay on! I justed talked to my Pediatrician at her 1 year checkup, & my doctor loves them. My pediatrician says to keep them on her as much and as long as possible." S. M. Florida

"They're easy to put on, and my daughter loves wearing them. People often stop and ask where they can get them, because they are so cute! They're the only shoes my daughter will wear." PP Dewitt, IA

"I've never found any other shoes better than these! They are fabulous!" D. J. Manteo, IL

"I think your product is great! Your shoes fit beautifully and they really stay on! I justed talked to my pediatrician at her 1 year checkup, & my doctor loves them. My pediatrician says to keep them on her as much and as long as possible." S. M. Florida

Looking for a Sales Rep? Being told “NO” is no fun!

2011-01-02T16:26:00.000-08:00

Manufacturers have asked me this question when they want me to look over their product lines. No such a good way to start a positive relationship, sharing that other reps do not want to work with you!

Reps who have been in business for many years, and in most cases carry well over 45 lines, have shared with me that they now most likely nottake smaller brands that are unproven and unknown. They do not want the product to get lost among the “Well Branded,” “Better Known” lines in their showrooms.

For some, it is very challenging to get a rep. Or to get the “right” rep for a particular product. It is not easy to be told “no.” Plus, you may start to wonder if something is wrong with your product. Make every rep inquiry a positive experience for you by asking reps if they have any suggestions for you, recommendations to improve your collections, or suggestions for other reps in their territory. Most are willing to offer some guidance, if you just ask them.

Want a Rep? Be a Brand. Promote and Support!

These days for a Rep to take a line under their wings, the line has to be unique. Retailers are very cautious about bringing “new” product lines into their stores right now. They don’t want to take chances on products they aren’t sure will sell. Reps don’t want manufactures asking, “Why is my line not being written?” Everyone in the cycle is very cautious.

I have found that many smaller brands don’t want to spend money on advertising and marketing to help expose their products to retailers. I have asked many manufactures what they are doing to brand themselves. Most have no serious marketing campaign. How can manufacturers expect to build a name for themselves in this market place, and compete with the “Well Branded”, “Well Known” lines currently in showrooms, if they aren’t willing to invest in some form of advertising and marketing? I have also been asked by manufacturers, “If I pay my monthly showroom fee, can you guarantee you will write at least that amount in sales orders?” My answer is “No. There are no guarantees.” If a sales rep does say they can guarantee sales, run. Run fast!

Guaranteed Sales?

Think about this . . . if you invest in a trade show, you are there to exhibit for maybe 3 or 4 days. Depending upon the event, the cost is normally at least a few thousand dollars for the booth, plus fixtures, show booklets, flights, hotels, GES fees, meals etc. After the show is over, if you haven’t written many orders do show managers say, “OK, here’s your investment back”? Heck no! They say, “What a great show we just had, our next show is blah, blah, blah! Plus, there is a percent increase… can we reserve your space now?” The same point can be applied to advertising. It is a good investment , but it does not come with a sales guarantee. Sales reps, PR firms, advertising media, and trade events are important ways to help build your business. Sales are not guaranteed. But, I can guarantee that if you do not advertise, market your product and provide support for a sales rep, you will not sell MORE! If brands are not well known, with no previous sales success, and not willing to pay with showroom participation fees, good Reps will turn them away. Being told “NO,” time after time, is no fun! So get prepared. Start marketing and thinking like a BRAND, rather than just a product in a category. You’ll get a Rep! Guaranteed!
