Day 2: Babies & Kids Stand Out at ASD
Baby boutiques and kid stores have a new show to shop. The ASD Las Vegas show has a fantastic assortment of baby, toddler and kid apparel, toys, luggage, accessories and much more. Price points begin at around $1 for wholesale, and many of the attending vendors at ASD Las Vegas have no opening order minimums. On top of that, there are show specials and unique finds, making the ASD Show vendors stand out in the baby, toddler and kid crowd.
From petti skirts to children’s books to overcoats to sippy cups, baby and kid boutiques will have the chance to mark up products to dream retail prices, bringing in extra dollars and deserved attention for having stand out products that are unique to your town. There are brand names to choose from, but also wonderful one of a kind and lesser known brands to shop from, as well. This combo creates a balanced harmony for stores to merchandise their stores in a fashion that customers are attracted to.
Among the ASD Show vendors exhibiting in the baby and toddler category include husband and wife duo Ryan and Jeena Lugo from Utah, who own Always Underpay. A wholesale business that caters exclusively to the baby and kid market, Always Underpay is a fantastic resource for tutus, petti-skirts, hair accessories, diaper covers and so much more. Fun, colorful and affordable, Always Underpay stands out at ASD as a brand that is perfect for boutiques. Their $35 wholesale minimum is affordable for boutiques, and their quality is in tune with customer expectations, as well.
If clothing and accessories aren’t your thing, you are still in luck at ASD. There is a vast assortment of toys and kid accessories to choose from. From potty training seats to licensed accessories to kitchen goodies for kids and more, vendors such as OKK Trading and U.P.D. Inc offer the perfect and vast assortment of everything you can dream of. Just when you think you have seen it all, something new surprises you from their assortment. A recent hot product on U.P.D’s item list? Angry Bird accessories such as plush toys and water bottles. Their other licensed product includes Dora, Disney, Spiderman, Hello Kitty and more.
Puzzles and books galore can be found at World Publications Group, an exhibitor of ASD who sells a vast variety of children’s books, coloring books puzzles and more.

Boutiques can feel good about getting a lot done at ASD, shopping vendors that allow them to markup their products to make good money while still meeting that “boutique” appeal. Show specials are common and the vendor support from ASD is fantastic, so it’s a win-win shopping scenario. The only problem? Your feet may hurt from shopping all day! With nearly 3K vendors exhibiting at ASD, there’s a lot to choose from.
