This week, we have a few important updates from our magazines, Tactics Magazine and Marketing Trendz.

First up, our annual Resource Directory is online. If you’re looking for preferred marketing suppliers from around the world, look no further. We have listings across dozens of categories, so if you need an advertising agency, a mobile app developer, holiday decor providers, lighting specialists, or just about anything else you might be looking for, take a look. You can right click and save the PDF for easy reference, but we also link to the directory in the newsletter sidebar all year. A print copy is also in the current issue of Tactics Magazine.

Speaking of which, our magazine subscribers may be happy to know the newest issue of Tactics Magazine is now online. Subscribers can access it here after logging in. Not a subscriber yet? You can take a look at a sample and a few articles from the issue on the website. And you can always subscribe here.

Also, in case you missed it, the newest Marketing Trendz hit the Internet a few weeks ago. It includes a number of articles written by your humble SCW editor, so if you haven’t taken a look yet, subscribers click here. If you’re not a subscriber, you can subscribe here.

Welcome to the last issue of Shopping Center Weekly for 2010. Next Thursday we’ll be working off the excesses of the holidays so that we can back in great form for our first release of 2011, on Thursday, January 6th.

We hope that 2010 has been a fantastic, successful year for you, and by all accounts, 2011 should be even better. So take some time to relax, celebrate and enjoy, and have a Merry Christmas or a Happy Holiday, whichever you’d prefer.

We here at Shopping Center Weekly wish you all the best. We’ll see you in the new year!

There are a few things we’d like to tell you about before we return to your weekly news posts:

Our 2010 Marketing Directory is now available. This resource guide will help you find reputable marketing suppliers in dozens of categories. From holiday displays to special events, it is an invaluable tool for all shopping center marketing directors.

Also, if you haven’t been to TacticsMagazine.com or MarketingTrendz.net, you should stop by. We’ve recently launched a new design for both that should help you find the content you’re looking for. We’re constantly working on adding new content and new features, so check back often. If you’re looking for more info on our print magazines, you can see samples of our digital editions and content on the sites.

And finally, we’ve mentioned it before, but if you’re going to be at Fusion, make sure to stop by booth 337. Our Tactics Magazine team will be there, and they’ll be offering a show special on Tactics and Trendz, so don’t miss out.
