Dear Trendspotters-
I’m the editorial director of Sporting Goods Business, a 40-year old business to business trade publication for sporting goods manufacturers and retailers. I’m writing a feature on the influence women have on consumer purchasing behavior. I wonder if there are current trends or other findings from your reports that would be applicable ? Sorry for the short notice but I will need any contributions by noon Wednesday, Feb 25. Contributions will be appropriately credited.
Thanks for your help.
Take care,
Lou
