Before the day opens to the typical hustle and bustle of downtown Kampala, business in the Kasodde area is always on the high as early as 5am. Though some traders report here by 5am, the gates do not open until 6am.

The day starts with the wholesalers categorising their products in classes of first class, second class and fudge. Every class has a different price. When all is set, the market gates open to an avalanche of traders who have been anxiously waiting at the gate. It thus turns into a rush hour between 6am and 7am. Here, the wholesale traders unleash their new products, most of them cheap Chinese stuff, locally known as okusala endiboota.

Every retail trader will fight their nails off to get to the best product, referred to as first class. It is survival for the fittest.

For ease and organization, which is rare here, each business is always handled by two people - as one shouts out the prices, the other handles the overwhelming customers. This is no place for the meek at heart. It's all gung-ho! Here, you have to shove, pull, and elbow your way over people or else others will do the same to you. The human traffic is overwhelming. Some traders can be seen crowding over ladies' shoes, while others box each other for the men's shirts.

Officials with Brown Shoe’s Famous Footwear division chose Cincinnati-based Empower MediaMarketing as its media agency of record, replacing Spark Communications of Chicago through an agency review.

“Famous Footwear’s marketing efforts, including our Victory is Yours campaign, are driving results,” Amy Rose, Famous Footwear media manager, said in a statement. “But the landscape of paid, owned and earned media continues to change, and Famous Footwear needs to make sure its marketing efforts are effective and efficient.
