The new subscription packages, say publishers EMAP, reflect the customer-centric approach to these developments and reflect the different needs and behaviours of Retail Week readers:
Anytime Anywhere - aimed at the most senior level of Retailing - all of our products
Home and Office - Print led package with www.retail-week.com
On the move - The digital package www.retail-week.com with the new iPad app
Already on desk-top, mobile, print and at face-to-face events, the latest incarnation of Retail Week, the iOS tablet app, is available to download as part of a subscription package, with an Android version to follow later this month. The app will make it easier for Retail Week subscribers to consume content on the move, meaning they can stay up-to-date and fully informed on all the important issues facing retail today.
The app has been specifically designed for the content it contains, ensuring a high-quality experience. Subscribers will be able to refresh the content and take it with them wherever they are. Subscribers will be able to use the app to digest the latest footfall, ecommerce and trading data to understand the forces driving the retail market.
Chris Brook-Carter, editor-in-chief, Retail Week, said: “People now consume retail information with a growing list of objectives and at many different times. It’s our role to meet those requirements.
“The development of our digital services over the last year has been a huge step forward, but quite clearly the explosion of mobile in the last two years has demanded we launch a first-class tablet service that sits alongside our desktop and mobile sites.”
Tracey Davies, managing director, Retail Week, said: “The launch of the new subscriptions packages and iPad app mark an important time for this world-class brand. Close to 70% of all our content is now developed exclusively with our digital products in mind as part of a broader, cohesive digital strategy that covers news, opinion and analysis data and graphics. These launches take us closer to our vision to deliver a truly multiplatform product that offer consumers a real choice and builds on the quality and value that has marked this brand’s success for 25 years.”
The tablet version of Retail Week will update throughout the day, every weekday, with the latest news and the analysis and comment required to make sense of the big developments in the industry. The app also makes full use of the medium by giving precedence to store galleries.
