footwearbiz.com went live in April 2006 as the news portal to complement World Footwear magazine – which has been keeping the industry informed for 20 years. Whilst the magazine offers the latest in-depth technical features, footwearbiz.com allows our members to access the latest industry news, product information, events calendar on a daily basis. It also acts as a global meeting place for the industry, allowing our members to participate in the on-line forum and post information on the notice board.

Following on from the success of leatherbiz.com and sportstextiles.com, which were both instant hits with ever-increasing site traffic, footwearbiz.com offers the expertise and knowledge of a global magazine publishing team with a successful track record in providing on-line news and information.

The site is closely linked to the magazine and will soon be the new home of the World Footwear Ezine—a new format of the magazine which is set to revolutionise the way you receive World Footwear, so that it is available instantly on your computer at the click of a button. To find out more about the Ezine click here.

The website also allows you to download individual articles from the World Footwear Technical and Business Management library, which holds all of the features and business management articles published in World Footwear, including back issues for any relevant features you may have missed.

The essential news service has been designed in a user-friendly format, and is offered absolutely FREE of charge for no cost as is the weekly e-newsletter. You will also receive the electronic version of the World Footwear Ezine absolutely FREE. To find out more about the Ezine click here.

A Technical Members Forum has been introduced where you can exchange ideas and find solutions or discuss topics of interest with other people in your business. Any recent launches or important company news can be showcased on the homepage using the ‘Hot Topic’ advertisement space.
