SGI EUROPE, the international business newsletter that puts together the ISPO Newsblog, will continue to provide you with a selection of news during the ISPO show. We invite all of you to log in – even on Sunday - but we will have more information available for ISPO visitors at our SPORTING GOODS INTELLIGENCE stand at the fair, located between the West Entrance and Hall B1. Pick up a copy of the 12-page issue of SGI Europe and the 8-page issue of the OUTDOOR INDUSTRY COMPASS that were sent out to subscribers today. In addition to expanded coverage of some items already posted on the ISPO Newsblog – such as the new European sales network of L-Fashion Group or the new European strategy of New Era – you will find plenty of other useful information in today’s SGI EUROPE on Andy Ronnie’s new experience with licensed apparel, Under Armour’s international plans, Helly Hansen denying press rumors, the internationalization of the OnTheShow weather information service, new distribution deals for Diadora and Dolomite, the new buying director of SportScheck, the preliminary results of Jarden and Lafuma, the recovery of Jake Burton… and a lot more. THE COMPASS will also give you plenty of news – some of it exclusive – on some new strategies initiated by Décathlon’s Quechua brand and by Kamik, the future of the Outdoor Retailer show and news from many other companies such as Aigle, Lowe Alpine, The North Face, etc. On top of that, THE COMPASS is launching a special contest for a free copy of its new Nordic Outdoor Report, being compiled in cooperation with the Scandinavian Outdoor Group. If you are still at the fair on Tuesday, you may also get a copy of our Special ISPO Issue – again with additional, non-promotional business information that will help you to strike new partnerships and to navigate in the international sporting goods market. Have a good ISPO show!
