In any industry, a continuous supply of news is essential for all businesses to have as much information as possible upon which they can make decisions for their company. One source of all these vital facts and figures is regular publications focussing on the particular trade.
In the toy and nursery business, they will contain articles on companies, personnel changes, details of new products, sales data, seasonal variations and often a section devoted to views or comments by major companies or retailers.
The magazines are also a great place for companies to advertise to the toy or nursery trade and give details of product launches together with advertising plans. All of these publications have an online presence with regular email bulletins to give timely news.
