As a way to keep up the changes that occur throughout the year, Marketing Guidebook Monthly Email Updates (an add-on to the Marketing Guidebook), provide critical information on the latest executive changes, store openings and closings, bankruptcies, sales, mergers and acquisitions, future plans, and other important information.
