ACTIVE DESIGN & CRAFT FAIR
We participated in this show with the aim of finding distributors and brand agents in the Japanese market.During our first exhibition, we had the opportunity to connect with a buyer from LOFT, which led to our products being scheduled for sale in over 15 LOFT stores, including key locations such as Ginza and Shibuya. For our second exhibition, we joined with our partner and proactively reached out to potential clients beforehand. This allowed us to directly engage with Japanese customers and deepen their understanding of our brand. We are currently in ongoing discussions with a potential brand agency in Japan.Given the effectiveness of the show in promoting our brand and approaching the Japanese market, we are considering continued participation in future editions.

ASOBU
Country: Canada
LIFE STYLINGS
Since spring 2024, we have entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with the Canadian bottle manufacturer AD-N-ART Inc., and we have been importing and distributing their popular “asobu” series of colorful and playful character bottles for the Japanese market. As “asobu” is a new brand in the Japanese market, it was necessary for us to build its sales channels and branding from the ground up. In this context, LIFE×DESIGN, held concurrently with the Gift Show, is one of Japan’s leading trade fairs and attracts numerous domestic and international buyers. We therefore decided to exhibit in order to explore new sales opportunities and business partnerships. As a result, over the course of the three-day event, more than 1,000 visitors stopped by our booth, and we successfully concluded new agreements with many businesses, including retailers with major stores in central Tokyo and large-scale wholesalers. We feel that the outcome far exceeded our expectations. We believe that continuing to exhibit at this event will help us gain greater visibility among buyers, expand our distribution channels, and improve brand recognition. We are committed to actively participating in future exhibitions as well.

New Time Group
China・Taiwan・Hong Kong
Not only to talk with our existing clients, but we also visit to find new clients. In this visit, we were able to find products to introduce to our clients in China. We were especially passionate of talking to exhibitors of Aritayaki, Aroma, and Fragrance because of fragrance trends that is ongoing in China. Gift Show is extremely an attractive trade show for overseas buyers because we get to encounter various genres of products.
