From me to you

I know what you're thinking: This isn't the same old Garden Center magazine issue preview. In fact, it isn't. This go-round, we're introducing a new format for our e-previews -- just as we're introducing all manner of exciting new features in our magazine for 2010. In the future, this space will be devoted to commentary from our staff, the kind of industry insight that has attracted readers to Garden Center for nearly two decades. In addition, we'll list the pertinent content in the upcoming issue, arranged topically to assist you with your ad planning. For good measure, we'll offer a variety of marketing tips designed to help you better spread your gospel.

Of course, there's no better place for doing that than in Garden Center magazine. And, I would suggest, there's no better time for doing that than the present. While I look forward to talking to you soon, I also want to express, on behalf of all of us at Garden Center, our thanks for your support through the years. We value our long-time advertisers and look forward to adding new ones as the year progresses.
