Dear Readers,

EDITORIAL INTERN Shayna Isabelle Salomon

Spring orders are starting to roll in and buyers are given a plethora of shows this season to attend to get their Spring/ Summer 2020 picks. From New York to Vegas, buyers are offered plenty of options to see what’s on trend and what’s going to sell in store. Buyers from brick and mortar stores as well as e-commerce retailers are all showing up.

With the addition of online retailers taking more and more space in the market we are seeing an enormous shift in retailing as we knew it. Manufacturers are taking notice of this and we see a transition on how they are merchandising and marketing their products to buyers as well as to the end consumer. Manufacturers today are relying more and more on the digital world to get their products and new styles to their audience and drum up new business. Social media has created a tremendous selling platform that has vastly increased the reach to both buyers and end consumers. The influencer world has truly erupted my friends and there is no turning back. Brands are utilizing these influencers to post their product lines to thousands of their cultivated followers. And it’s working for them. Check out our special PWR of the Influencer feature inside to get an inside look of how several strong brands are taking advantage of this new medium and getting their message across in a whole new fashion!

ALL THE GLAMOUR AND GLITZ! Glam Spot Global Owner and creator Heather Polyi is proud to launch The Glam Spot Global Beauty Brand. Heather believes that makeup should be pro-quality, fun, easy to use, work with and that all brands and be affordable! “Children and adults both deserve products that will treat their skin, environment, and animals with great care,” states Polyi.

This Indie brand is new to shelves but not in its creation... longtime pro/ celebrity makeup artist Heather Polyi has always planned to launch products that she would want to work with as an artist! “I need lipgloss that isn’t sticky, that creates shine and leaves color behind when the shine is gone! So I made a small collection of colors for all skin tones called LIP GLASS.” Easy to use and foolproof products are showcased throughout this new line. From high quality, eyeshadows that blend with other brands and are easy to use, precision pen liner that works perfectly every time, brow pencils with retractable pigment and waterproof to beautiful, whimsical highlighters and bronzers all create the fun factor.

10 | IT’S A KIDSWORLD

“With the Avante Garde shoots I work on, I need products that don’t shed or lose their vitality. Sometimes I even need waterproof pigments!

So I make them; Space/Time Palette,” states Polyi.

Glam Spot Global is available on Shopify @glamspot.store/ and a pop-up shop near you. They travel the country and globe bringing Glamour with them... which led to this summer’s #wanderwithglamour Instagram campaign/CONTEST! join the fun and follow Glam Spot Globals journey on Instagram and share all of your journeys!

Named after a nomad who collects and sells shoreline salvageables, our drifter lives off the land creating seashell crafts and finding new purpose for found flotsam and jetsam.

Living off the grid in their coastline caravan, this beachy boho spirit lives off the sea and sand, spending their days exploring hard-to-reach caves, combing the surf for shells and rocks and relaxing on the sunny beaches. The clothes reflect this unconventional lifestyle— flowing garments in lightweight cotton or linen, deep pockets to store their seaside finds and crafty details that highlight the beachcomber’s deep ties to nature. The color palette is soft and tranquil; pulling in oceanic blue greens and sandy browns with seashell pinks and sunshine yellows.

The nostalgic hangout spot located in the suburban strip mall is the scene for our jam skater, a hybrid of gymnastics, dance and skating. Our daring skater weaves around the crowds of people showing off the crab walk, toe jam and snake walk. The look is athletic yet showy—disco ball shiny tanks, metallic leggings and sporty zip-ups in bold colors.

What’s the back story to the MOD Girl and American Jewel relationship in your own words?

Ironically 3 years ago while attending my ďŹ rst children’s trade show, I was placed directly across from the American Jewel booth. Once both brands were matched together (MOD Girl clothes with American Jewel accessories) we knew it was a match made and both brands completed the other. After that point is when I established a close working relationship with

20 | IT’S A KIDSWORLD

the American Jewel brand.

MOD Girl started to travel with American Jewel to several trade shows and also helped in opening their Dallas and Atlanta showrooms. Over the next few years I had the opportunity to learn the American Jewel brand and fell in love with the line.

I believed in the scented silicone backpack they called “Yummy Gummy� and watched the company grow every month in sales.

Sometimes I feel as if I was part of the American Jewel success this entire time.

Fast forward 3 years later I was presented with the opportunity to purchase American Jewel. After (not much) consideration I jumped on the acquisition deal and became the new owner of American Jewel February 2019. What felt like an overnight experience, I had to learn the ins and outs quickly to keep up with the growing company. I learned what the expression of going from 0-100 really meant. Since the transfer of the company my staff and myself have been working endless hours in getting the word out that American Jewel is under new ownership while developing new lines for future

seasons. I have been asked what the future of American Jewel holds and my answer is to bring the brand back to it’s roots. I will focus on our scented bags that made American Jewel so special and different from competitors. With this being said, we are very proud to announce that American Jewel is the first in the World to print on silicone. Fun animal-ice cream characters paired with rainbows make up American Jewel’s first printed “Yummy Gummy”scented silicone bag. The new bag has been very well received and we will continue to move forward with more colorful designs.

What about MOD Girl?

MOD Girl will operate under American Jewel, however it will keep its own name. Since the merge of the two brands we have worked with our manufacturing team in lowering our prices and have also added more sizes to the athleisure line. We now offer sizes 2T-6 in addition to our original sizes 7-14. MOD Girl will continue to proudly manufacture here in the US. Will you be adding new trade shows?

American Jewel attends anywhere between 30-35 trade shows a year. Trade shows include apparel, gift, toy, theme park, surf and waterpark. Our traveling sales team and myself are on the road 95% of the time with the mission to reach as many customers in every industry possible.

Will you be selling both lines online?

Yes MOD Girl and American Jewel sell online. In the past both brands have focused more on working with wholesale customer relationships rather than with our consumer. However, to keep up with the growing trend of online sales, we will focus on working toward gaining more of an online presence while continuing to keep a close and supportive relationship with

our wholesale customers.

Have you ever hit any bumps in the road and how have you had to readjust your business?

Yes; After a year of MOD Girl selling strictly activewear (leggings, sports bras, etc.) I noticed that the vast growing trend that was taking over the women’s market wasn’t catching on as quickly in children’s. Therefore, I needed to make a change if I wanted to continue in the children/tween industry. This change was to expand the line into athleisure. Comfortable leggings paired with cute stylish tops. This decision helped sales tremendously.

Now that you’ve merged do you plan to expand the business into other categories?

Absolutely; We are planning to expand into beauty in 2020.

Are you able to use the infrastructure from each company to build the new company as one?

Yes; Taking the best of both worlds and making it one has been extremely beneficial for our company. My incredible staff in the office/warehouse have been more than accepting of the new and improved changes.

Have you been able to merge your customer base and has this increased sales on both lines?

From traveling with American Jewel, MOD Girl has always shared the same clientele.

Are you expanding into other countries, if so how?

We currently sell to stores all over the world, however we plan on attending international trade shows in 2020. We hope this will expand our line into more countries.

IT’S A KIDSWORLD | 21

Company Profile

What are your plans for the next 5 years for growth of American Jewel?

I find the three most important factors in growing a business are the infrastructure, products and customers. For American Jewel and MOD Girl thankfully we have the infrastructure in place that will support continued growth. We have an incredibly hard working staff who are committed to delivering a great product in a timely manner. As for our products, we will grow the line into new categories to keep up with quick changing market while designing new jewels, scents and styles for the Yummy Gummy bag. To reach more customers, we are currently seeking more sales reps, attending more trade shows world wide while focusing on social media and our online presence. Under the new ownership of American Jewel I am looking forward to connecting with

our previous, existing and future customers in a positive and professional manner while growing long lasting business relationships.

With the future shining brightly for the newly restructured American Jewel company we can all take a page from owner Kristina Hastings book and make the magic happen!

These influencers are the path for exposure, to sell through and ultimately making more money in the manufacturers eyes. It is evident that the current generation uses social media as other previous generations used the newspapers and tabloids. Creating an

easy segway for these influencers to find their reach and making them a viable marketing vehicle. As the influencer trend continues It’s a Kidsworld visits with two strong influencers who have been working on their image for years.

One making her way as a popular musician and artist and the other a homegrown fashionista who has since established a strong and profitable collab

1. Do you consider yourself as an influencer and what does that mean to you?

BROOKLYN Yes I do and I think the term influencer can affect different people in different ways. It can be seen as someone who inspires and encourages others and another aspect could be influencing styles and fashion and helping others know of new trends coming in the industry.

TAYLOR Yes, but I would consider myself as an Influential Artist. Singing, songwriting and piano have always been my passion and I try to influence and inspire others through my lyrics.

2. How many followers does one need to be viewed as an influencer?

BROOKLYN It really just depends on how influential you are to the people who follow you and how much of an impact they are having.

TAYLOR I don’t think a number can define how influential a person can be! I believe

“Singing, songwriting and piano have always been my passion WdZ ? jho je _dąk[dY[ WdZ _dif_h[ ej^[hi j^hek]^ co boh_Yi$ù-Taylor Felt

that even with 1 follower, you have the power and opportunity to use social media to spread positivity and make an impact on people.

3. How long did it take you to gain that many followers?

T A Y L O R Years of consistency and determination! I’m extremely grateful for every single person that follows me and supports me on this journey!

consisted of combining two or more of my favorite songs. This year I started doing #CarCovers, where I sing covers acapella in the car with no music, just me snapping! While posting my covers, I’m constantly flying to LA where I’m writing and recording original music

them! I love talking to everyone in my comments, dms and it especially means the world to me when I see people cover my songs!

Brooklyn Gabby

post for each platform?

Taylor Felt

BROOKLYN I try with the flow of the feed but I don’t usually worry about the colors.

I do use the same filter unless I am being shot by a professional photographer. .

TAYLOR I don’t worry too much about having a cohesive feed, I try to post in the moment and do what comes naturally.

19. Where do you go from here for yourself on social media... where do you expect it will lead you in the future?

BROOKLYN I would like to possibly start a business when I get older in marketing and this is a great way to learn.

TAYLOR I hope to impact as many lives through my positive message in my music!
