International eRetail Association launches free newsletter for Internet retailing professionals

The new service went into effect this month, providing association members and visitors to the association's website with a brief email synopsis of industry site news and new sites, with links back to the association's companion website www.eRetailNews.com. The first newsletter includes an article on marketing strategy for pure-play Internet retailers.

"The newsletter compliments the monthly industry reports from the association and extends our reach to include non-members," said Nigel Fenwick, President of the eRetail Association. "We are continuously expanding our membership and looking for new benefits we can bring to both individual and corporate members. The newsletter is an ideal way for non-members to learn more about the association."

The association is currently working with a number of companies to provide members with discounts on attendance to leading Internet retailing conferences and training courses in the USA and Europe.

About the International eRetail Association

As an association of e-commerce professionals and Internet retailers, members benefit from networking opportunities and industry analysis. 

The association provides members with monthly reports on Internet retail industry strategies, marketing practices and technology. Whether members join to be active participants or to simply receive monthly reports, membership demonstrates their support for professional standards and quality eRetailing. 

The association is also working with its members to develop standards and codes of conduct for Internet retailing and e-commerce professionals. The eRetail Association offers its members discounts on a variety of services and industry conferences. 

Professional members, including many CEO's and presidents, are typically senior executives with significant influence on their company's e-commerce strategy. Although members are predominantly from North America, Europe and Asia, the newsletter is already distributed in over thirteen countries. 

The International eRetail Association was founded by industry volunteers as part of BizBrick Corporation, a company formed to bring business intelligence to the Internet. The association relies upon the generous support of volunteers from the Internet retail industry to deliver timely industry analysis.
