Seaside retailer magazine to debut during the fall show season

Show attendees can obtain a preview issue and a chance to subscribe.

Seaside Retailer magazine is making its debut with a preview issue during the fall show season. The new business magazine for beach, coastal and nautical retailers is launching as a quarterly publication in January 2020, but attendees of the industry’s leading shows will get a sneak peek this fall.

“After months of planning, writing, designing and promoting, we are excited to debut our preview issue,” says Karen Carr, publisher, Seaside Retailer. “And what better way to do it than in-person at industry-leading events.”

Seaside Retailer will be available at the following shows:

Panama City Beach Gift Show, Sept. 25-27

Ocean City Resort Gift Expo, Nov. 17-19

Grand Strand Gift & Resort Merchandise Show, Dec. 8-11

Surf Expo, Jan. 8-10

Attendees can stop by the Seaside Retailer booth at any of these events to pick up a copy of the preview issue and meet the staff. While there, they can sign up for a free subscription or learn about advertising opportunities.

Each issue of Seaside Retailer magazine will contain industry-focused news, feature articles, event information and products geared towards these specialty retailers.

“This magazine is exclusively distributed to business owners and managers who sell this style of merchandise, ranging from apparel to home decor, and everything in between,” says Kristin Ely, Seaside Retailer editor-in-chief. “That means articles, news and products featured in the magazine will cover the topics and merchandise that matter most to this dynamic subset of retailers.”

In addition to a quarterly print magazine in 2020, Seaside Retailer’s portfolio of media offerings includes a dedicated website, www.seasideretailer.com, and two newsletters, a monthly product newsletter, Seaside Spotlight and an informational newsletter, Seaside Retailer News.

Produced by Medina, Ohio-based Breakwall Publishing, the publishers of Seaside Retailer have more than 30 years of combined business-to-business publishing experience. ■
