Why it matters

What MAGIC New York asks of an exhibitor

MAGIC New York is a curated, neighborhood-organized buying floor at the Javits Center where retail buyers arrive with focused purchasing agendas and limited time. These are boutique owners, specialty and department-store buyers and e-commerce sellers sourcing women's contemporary, young contemporary and trend-driven lines, and they move quickly through the floor's neighborhoods, deciding in seconds whether a booth is worth a stop. That pace is the challenge: a buyer who can't quickly read your line, get price and minimums, and start an order moves to the next brand in the same neighborhood. The four roles below each address a different piece of catching that buyer and converting the visit into a written order.

Front of the booth

Trade show models for MAGIC New York

MAGIC New York trade show models work the front of your booth so no buyer passes your neighborhood unengaged. With boutique and specialty-store buyers moving fast across the floor's curated neighborhoods, our MAGIC New York trade show models present your line on-brand, greet and qualify the retail buyers and e-commerce sellers walking past, and open the conversation while your sales team handles terms. Because they're sourced in New York, you skip the airfare, hotels and per-diems an out-of-town crew adds during a Javits show week. The outcome: more qualified buyers stop at your booth, and your team spends its time writing orders instead of flagging down traffic.

Traffic & attention

Promotional models for MAGIC New York

MAGIC New York promotional models pull buyers into your space and keep your line in front of them. On a floor where neighborhoods of brands compete for the same buyers, our MAGIC New York promotional models run line showcases and try-stations, hand out lookbooks and line sheets, host quick previews, and hold energy through long buying days — drawing the apparel, accessory and footwear buyers flowing past into your booth. Each is briefed on your products, price points and the one action you want — a line-sheet scan, an appointment, a written order. The outcome: higher booth traffic from the surrounding neighborhood, captured rather than walking on.

Brand & message

Brand ambassadors for MAGIC New York

MAGIC New York brand ambassadors represent your label to a buyer audience that decides on presentation and confidence. Across a contemporary fashion floor of boutique and specialty-store buyers, our MAGIC New York brand ambassadors are trained on your line, positioning and price story so they embody the brand consistently — walking buyers through the collection, answering category and margin questions, and reinforcing why your line belongs on their racks. For exhibitors building repeat wholesale relationships, the same ambassadors returning season over season build familiarity with your line and your buyers. The goal they serve: a consistent, on-brand presence that turns first-time boutique buyers into reorder accounts.

The operational team

Full booth staffing for MAGIC New York

As your MAGIC New York event staffing partner we field the whole booth team behind the front line. That includes product specialists and presenters who show your line clearly and consistently; lead-retrieval specialists trained on Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik and Bartizan so every buyer is scanned, qualified and captured with order or follow-up intent in real time; hosts to keep busy neighborhoods moving; bilingual talent for the international buyers a New York show draws; and a team lead to run check-in, breaks and performance across all three days. Our talent works through show close each day — never an early walk-off — so your booth keeps writing orders to the final hour, not winding down early. One dedicated account executive scopes the mix to your booth size and neighborhood and manages the team on-site, so your stand keeps producing for the boutique, specialty-store and e-commerce buyers sourcing at MAGIC New York.
