Just ahead of the 2015 show, IAADFS Executive Director Michael Payne discusses the industry and what the organization has in store for those in attendance by RYAN WHITE
W
ith preparations for the 2015 IAADFS Duty Free Show of the Americas well under way in early January, it’s a wonder that Executive Director Michael Payne had time to sit down for an interview, but Americas Duty Free caught up with him to get the latest developments on this year’s event and the industry at large in the Americas. We began by asking about registrations, and Payne tells us that “the numbers appear to be on track with last year’s, but as you know we experience a large number of on-site registrants so we will not have final numbers until after the show opens.” When we spoke to Payne, IAADFS had just passed the early registration deadline and he noted that numbers were looking good. “I’m confident there will be a good turnout—on par with last year,” he said.
On the tradeshow floor In terms of the exhibitors that attendees can find on this year’s exhibition floor, as of mid-January IAADFS had confirmed the following numbers: 23% jewelry, accessories and luggage; 30% spirits; 20% fragrances; 11% confectionery; 7% tobacco; 7% gifts and writing instruments; and 2% services. “These numbers could change slightly as we get closer to the show,” Payne explained, “but the ratios should stay about the same.” Of course, just as important as what categories will be present is the mindset of members this year. Payne noted that things are looking up in the US in terms of passenger traffic, but outside factors may affect the industry in the country. “Things are probably a bit more cautious,” he said. “Passenger loads are up, so that remains very positive. Likewise, the US is strong, but the EU/Euro situation and slowdown in Asia is affecting passenger spend, impacting some categories more than others.” And in terms of the Americas’ performance in 2014, it’s a similar mixed bag, with Payne telling us that sales were better overall last year as compared to 2013. Despite this, he said, some categories didn’t fare as well last year. “There was definitely some tightening toward the end of 2014,” he noted.
A lot to look forward to Despite mixed indicators for the region, Payne told us that there are a lot of exciting airport and duty free projects in the region to look forward to. “Infrastructure development through both private and public sectors continues to enhance the opportunities for duty free shoppers,” he said. “Bigger, brighter, well-designed and better-located stores are evident throughout the Americas. Having said that, there is clearly still room for improvement but officials are increasingly recognizing the value that duty free offerings and airports in general provide to local economies. That recognition bodes well for future development.” And in terms of looking forward to the IAADFS show itself, there are equally exciting things planned. While the show format will be similar to last year, the organization has added a run/walk for charity on Sunday morning, and at the time of the interview, plenty of sponsors had already signed on, including Bacardi, Cross, Davidoff, Hershey, Botran, Godiva, American Caribbean Gateway/Macanudo, Essence, Travel Retail Distribution Group and Brown-Foreman. Finally, Payne promises fun social events, including an exciting gala evening, in addition to the customarily on-schedule daily business meetings for which the event is known. This year’s IAADFS show takes place March 22–25 at the Orlando World Center Marriott.

IAADFS EXHIBITORS
On the tradeshow floor Rituals to showcase new fixtures at IAADFS Rituals Home and Body Cosmetics, one of the fastest-growing beauty brands of its kind in Europe, will be exhibiting at the IAADFS exhibition in Orlando in March (booth 1923). Rituals Cosmetics, which combines home and body cosmetics, offers luxury body and facial creams, mineral make-up, scented candles, pure tea and Soulwear. “We exhibited at the IAADFS exhibition last year for the first time and we found it an extremely effective way to introduce ourselves to the travel retail industry in North America,” says Neil Ebbutt, Director Wholesale and Travel for Rituals Cosmetics. “As we start to expand our presence and profile in North American travel retail, then events like IAADFS become even more important for us.” Rituals will showcase its latest in-store merchandising furniture by building its exhibition stand from these units. “It’s a great opportunity not just to present our products but also the extremely high quality, bespoke display furniture that goes with them,” says Ebbutt. Rituals has been working on expanding its presence in the Americas. In December 2013 it made its debut in the US domestic market, opening two stores in the Upper West Side and SoHo neighborhoods of New York City and achieving nationwide distribution in Barneys department store. And at the end of 2014 Rituals won the prestigious WWD Beauty Inc award for Best Specialty Retailer of the Year in the US. 2015 will see the firm open a further five stores in the US domestic market and listings with Americas-based global airlines and hotel operators. At least five stores are also scheduled to begin trading in the domestic market in Brazil.

Clogau jewelry is made from rare Welsh gold
Clogau to bring Welsh heritage to Americas Welsh gold jewelry brand Clogau is poised to bring its travel retail offering to the Americas, following two successful years of expansion into the Middle East and Asian markets, including two stand-alone stores in China. The company will be attending its first IAADFS show in March, where it will introduce the brand’s new self-select units in addition to its travel retail assortment plus the 9ct and 18ct collections. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Clogau recently launched its Heritage campaign, set at Highclere Castle, the location of the popular Downton Abbey TV program. The brand believes its prestigious connections to the British royal family, unique heritage and rare Welsh gold will appeal to consumers in the Americas. Garry Stoner, Clogau’s Travel Retail Account Manager, said: “Partners can expect to see a long-term commitment to the Americas region from Clogau. We want to build strong partnerships with our customers that will be a real win-win.”

AMERICAS DUTY FREE & TRAVEL RETAILING MARCH/APRIL 2015
Nestlé International Travel Retail remains bullish on delivering category growth in the Americas, despite a challenging 2014 in the region for the confectionery category, according to Global Head of Sales, Alan Brennan. “Nestlé will be working with its retail partners to optimize sales and deliver category growth focusing on converting more travelers to shoppers and shoppers to buyers, leveraging insight-driven new product development and category action via its Perfect Store platform,” he said. The primary brand focus in South and North America this year will be the launch of the new Nestlé Swiss range, which offers an exclusive gift for the traveler, while in-store activations will focus on the Kit Kat brand in South America. At the IAADFS Show, visitors will see the full range of products for 2015—the majority exclusive to travel retail—including Nestlé Swiss presented in its new elegant and premium look. Offering a new 230g gift box of premium assorted dark chocolates with different signature tastes, along with 300g Bars and Sharing Bags, all formats can be shared and gifted. Important for South America will be the new Kit Kat offer, which supports the ongoing high-level global campaign to promote the brand. The offer is spearheaded by the launch of four Kit Kat Break Time Sharing Bags. Each 517g easy-carry bag is designed in a humorous way to represent a bag symbolising a different type of travel break: beach, city, chic or globe-trotting. Each bag contains 31 Kit Kat Minis and is exclusive to travel retail. Also new is a 162g Kit Kat Mini Chunky Snack Bag containing mini bite sizes that aim to increase sales at the till point. Additionally for South America are new Smarties Disney Gift Boxes, each containing eight Smarties mini boxes for portion control plus a toy. The boy’s version includes a Disney/Pixar Glow in the Dark Flash McQueen Coin Bank, while the girl’s features a Disney Frozen jewelry box. Visitors in Orlando will also be able to view new-look Nestlé Mix Sharing Bags designed to give a distinctive identity to the range and better communicate both the Mix concept and Nestlé’s extensive confectionery portfolio, along with the Nescafé range of Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha and Vanilla coffee mixes in a travel exclusive format. “Last year was difficult in the region, largely driven by economic factors centered on currency movement versus the US dollar, specifically in Brazil in the early part of the year. This, coupled with the weakness in key economies in South America, only reduced traveler confidence and appetite to spend,” noted Brennan. “However, whilst these negative factors are still relevant for 2015, the situation has improved in terms of reaching a level of stabilization but still remaining volatile. Therefore, both retailers and suppliers will need to be flexible in their retail proposition and adapt where necessary if the situation changes. We are certainly going to meet these challenges and look forward to meeting with our customers in Orlando to discuss how best to maximize potential.”
