Always a frontrunner when it comes to delivery of news and information, with this issue of eFitBiz, SNEWS® will start to deliver news to you in a dynamic, interactive fashion like no other industry publication has -- in a virtual magazine format where you live the content.
Debuting in this sixth-annual eFitBiz by SNEWS – our annual look at the state of the previous year’s retail and
While our much-awaited report on the state of retail and our top retailer lists are all still here, they are presented with many enhancements in this virtual magazine: When you “flip” the pages with a click, you’ll find links directly in the stories and charts that will take you to SNEWS stories so you can read up on things you missed or have forgotten – mouse over and around the pages to discover embedded links and features. You’ll experience product videos in ads that demonstrate and show you the equipment, with the video also allowing you to play and replay as needed, stopping where you want to take a closer look.
This is of course only the beginning: The SNEWS fitness magazine, out as usual in mid-summer, will also be virtual and you’ll see all of the above features – and much more as we incorporate more experiences into our mutual adventure into the future of information delivery.
Certainly the virtual content isn’t all there is to talk about, though. The state-of-retail report isn’t unfortunately a rosy picture but when you take a look at the information about past recessions and who’s doing what, you’ll see some optimism still exists. The list of “top retailers” – again using black-and-white store numbers since we know they are factual and not fudged – has changed quite a bit. You may be surprised to realize what did happen between January and December 2008, uttering, “Gosh, that was only a year ago?”
You’ll also be a bit surprised to see how many more changes have taken place since 2009 – businesses are listed where they wouldn’t be now -- since we don’t represent 2009 news on the list. For ongoing information you’ll need to turn to SNEWS online (www.snewsnet.com).
