Jane Fort, editor-in-chief of TeenPROM magazine and Linda Korman, advertising director of TeenPROM and SeventeenPROM, took to the podium on Saturday during Market to a full house with more than 90 attendees at their seminar. Jane and Linda spoke directly to the group of buyers and exhibitors about trends for next Prom season, what they are hearing and seeing about Prom, how to get the girl and her mom in the store and keep them there and much more. Attendees got real insider information and walked away with tools to make the sale and continue growing stronger.
