I'll try to post these free magazines at most once a week and only when a useful one comes up on the radar. For this week I'll try to grab everyone's attention on this
FREE STORES MAGAZINE
STORES Magazine is a monthly subscription for the retailers (since we've got so many members on retailer here) and it's from NRF (National Retail Federation, one of those American thing). You can normally get it for free if you are an NRF member, but being an Aussie you can still get the digital subscription for free through TradePub.com.
STORES Magazine provides a unique perspective on the retail industry and is essential reading for retail executives. In fact, more retailers read STORES Magazine than any other operations magazine.
STORES Magazine reports on the broad spectrum of strategic issues facing senior retail executives, including Retail Technology, Supply Chain and Logistics, Credit and Payment Systems, Loss Prevention, Human Resources, Online Retailing, Communications, Marketing, Merchandising, and Other Vital Store Operations. As the official publication of the National Retail Federation, STORES Magazine has a unique perspective on the marketplace. It offers an insider's view of the entire retail industry by featuring the latest trends, hottest ideas, current technology and consumer attitudes. In addition to its regular coverage throughout the year, STORES Magazine produces eagerly-awaited industry surveys and buying guides. Subscriptions are offered FREE to retailers and to members of the National Retail Federation.
As usual there's a qualification process so I think it might not be for everyone (however last week's Global Finance mag has pretty low rejection rate).
