About The Company

A Uniquely Engaging Forum for the Retailing Industry

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 IBM, SymphonyIRI Group, Campbell Soup, Procter & Gamble, DemandTec, Oracle, MarketingLab, Sara Lee and Nestle Purina.
