RetailWire is the retailing industry's premier
online discussion forum, which launched in February
2002. RetailWire goes beyond conventional headline
news reporting. Each business morning, RetailWire
editors pick news topics worthy of commentary by
its "BrainTrust" panel
of industry experts, and the general RetailWire
membership. The results are virtual round tables
of industry opinion and advice covering key dynamics
and issues affecting the retailing industry.
Membership to RetailWire is free to all qualified
retail industry professionals. Over two-thirds of
members are in top executive or senior management
positions, representing a broad cross section of retail
channels and the companies that supply them. RetailWire
is supported via sponsorships by leading retail suppliers
and service organizations.
Sponsorship packages take the form of educational "Business
TIPS" and Webinars, all produced by RetailWire to
assure quality. Sponsors include
Campbell Soup, Nielsen, Unilever, Procter & Gamble,
Interactive Edge, DemandTec and Nestlé Purina.
