NEW RESOURCES for RETAILERS in NICHE
Focus on Store Design and Wearable Art Featured in Autumn Online Issue
BALTIMORE, Md. (Sept. 23, 2010) - The arrival of fall signals the start of preparations for holiday celebrations, and with them, affordable store display ideas to entice holiday shoppers. Gift and art retailers alike will find dozens of examples and helpful tips from experts and peers-plus an exciting new blog and video series-in NICHE magazine's Autumn issue, exclusively online at www.NICHEmagazine.com beginning today, Sept. 28.
Budget-wise store display is the Autumn issue's focus:
- Learn how to design easy-to-digest displays that increase sales.
- Use color to perk up walls and lure customers.
- Set the mood and make displays dazzle with strategic lighting.
Beyond the regular articles and round ups you've come to expect, the NICHE online edition launches its new social media resources:
- The NICHEmagazine Blog will keep retailers informed year-round about new products, industry happenings and the economic outlook through short, frequent articles. Your office or home computer becomes a front-row seat to video interviews with emerging artists.
- A 12-week Video Seminar Series starting Oct. 4 offers weekly segments of "Supercharge Your Small Business with Social Media," the first NICHE video series about online marketing tools retailers can use to build their customer base. Philadelphia-based social media expert Amy Larrimore leads you through the process step by step.
The Autumn issue will be available online only at www.NICHEmagazine.com through December. Printed editions of NICHE are scheduled to resume with the Winter edition, arriving in subscribers' mailboxes in late December.
NICHE magazine's once-a-year online exclusive edition is a showcase of retailing best practices, modeled on the popular print editions of the trade magazine. Consider it a virtual trade publication, replete with a selection of the newest paper products, three full artist profiles, an array of "Retail Details" that cover the latest hot products and include our regular news columns, and a long list of "Retail Resources" to give retailers the tools they need to make this holiday season a success. What's more? It's accessible anywhere, delivered online for subscribers and new readers to enjoy. |
