“This is not for the first time that representatives of the field of supplementary education gather at the largest exhibition of children's goods,” comments Yulia Alekseeva, founder of the YASAM Club Chain. “It is here that we can voice our needs in methodological and developing materials. Here we can get new customers. Developing the customers’ base is a must for any business that wants to thrive. The professional community of the Mir Detstva exhibition is probably the most natural tool for this. Moreover, importantly, most representatives of the “children’s business" are mothers who in addition to their commercial interest also have a personal interest.
