New Mexico is one of the most popular destinations, thanks to its numerous inspiring cultures and landscapes. The sights and essence of New Mexico create trends seen and produced all over the world. The influences run from Southwest, Native American, Santa Fe style, Spanish and Mexican, to the Wild West Cowboy, to name a few.
In addition to these classic styles, New Mexico is also home to contemporary, cutting edge fashion and accessory designs. It is also quickly being woven into the next fashion industry powerhouse because of minimal competition serving a rapidly expanding market of consumers who crave professional, high-fashion retail. Combine this with the state’s low cost of living and you find a designer’s and fashion related business's paradise!
As a result of this economic advantage, New Mexico Fashion Week Albuquerque is able to provide low-cost designer and vendor packages loaded with great benefits. Citywide fashion events earlier in the week add to the building excitement, providing for a large number of participants by week’s end.
The numbers for 2015 were impressive, with more than 1650 attendees. Our current Social Media followers now number 1700. With 15-20 posts each week, there are approximately 1.5 million impressions over the span of a calendar year. Web traffic is also up, with more than 45,000 visitors for the year and well over 100,000 page views. There were also 500,000 or more impressions from TV, Radio, and Print in February and March leading up to the event.
We will have a complete array of social media platforms in operation for the 2016 event, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr. Web traffic has been steady through the summer following the 2015 event; we anticipate visitors to top 60,000 on an annual basis this cycle, with more than 125,000 page views. Finally, presence on traditional media will be increased, with added emphasis on TV and Radio.
