I receive calls all the time from cart and kiosk retailers asking if I've seen any new products… particularly ones where they can make at least 3x mark-up. Sometimes I can rattle off six new things I just read about, but other days I'm fresh out of ideas.

Fortunately, I just returned home from our tradeshow in Baltimore and found several new and diverse products for retailers. There were three in particular that I either brought home… or really wanted to.

The first, I'm wearing. It's a garment that can be worn in 100 different ways from Kariza Designs and I'm using mine as a skirt. All of them are made from vintage silk out of India, so the color choices and fabric patterns are incredible! The wholesale price is $20 and they retail for $50 to $100 depending on the length (they come in three different lengths), so the mark-up is perfect. My favorite part was actually going through the dozens of designs and choosing the one I liked best… and I wasn't the only one. For women, being able to try something on, right there, is a HUGE selling point.

Another thing that I loved were the Flow Boards from Flowlab. It's a board that's a hybrid between a skateboard and a snowboard. I didn't get one (I really thought about it, though), but I can see the fun demonstration possibilities.

Finger sports from Zelosports also caught my eye. Remember table football in college? It's a hugely entertaining game, and from what I saw, immensely popular.

So that's what I've found recently. Have any of you found/seen/heard of a new product?
