F&I’s e-News Moves to Twice a Week
Starting this week, F&I and Showroom magazine’s e-newsletter will return to twice a week and will be distributed on Tuesday and Thursdays.
Starting this week, F&I and Showroom magazine’s e-newsletter will return to twice a week and will be distributed on Tuesday and Thursdays.
The move coincides with the magazine’s decision in late 2009 to expand its coverage beyond F&I under the F&I and Showroom name. With its expanded coverage, the magazine now covers other front-end-related topics, such as sales, inventory management, and Internet and social media marketing.
“As a former newspaper reporter, I’m very excited to be able to deliver industry news twice a week instead of one,” said Gregory Arroyo, the magazine’s executive editor. “The main reason for this move is our expanded coverage and an increase in subscribers. We just felt once a week wasn’t enough.”
Current F&I e-Weekly subscribers will automatically begin receiving Thursday’s edition of the magazine’s e-newsletter, which will cover dealer and industry news, as well as product releases and company announcements.
