Overwhelming
Response to
Issue
1
Overwhelming,
is the only way I can describe the response to the first issue of The
Gl@zine. Your good wishes and constructive comments have been most welcome
and have proved that the concept of an e-zine for the glass and fenestration
industry is essential for being in touch with all the latest developments
and trends, as well as driving business to e-commerce facilities. We have
been inundated with new subscribers, editorial submissions and ideas for
ways
in which The Gl@zine can be put to even better use for the benefit of
the industry's 'electronic community'.
One question that has been put to me many times in the last couple of weeks - probably because of my past involvement with the Glassex Awards - is whether the industry should try to resurrect some form of Awards. My own feeling is that we should, but that we should link it to a charity event and also make it easier for companies to take part. I look forward to hearing your suggestions aired through The Gl@zine, so please write in.
The
Jobs and For Sale sections will in time become a major feature of this
e-zine: we already have two used machinery specialists who see the potential
of this form of instant communication: Barrie Irons and Sparks Direct.
The Gl@zine promises these companies a quick way of turning machinery
around.
Finally, thank you to all the companies that have chosen to support this
new venture, with their respective contributions. I am sure that in the
coming weeks, it will prove to be a sensible and profitable decision.
Again, if you feel that your colleagues would benefit from receiving THE
GL@ZINE, please forward it to them and ask them to sign up FREE OF CHARGE
at the Subscribe link at the bottom.
Don't forget, it's YOUR newsletter. Please send any articles, news items
etc to: copy@theglazine.com
