When you visit mdm.com in September, you will see an overhaul of our Web site. We are adding powerful new tools to provide you with the best and most user-friendly information and research resource in wholesale distribution.
 
Modern Distribution Management has been covering wholesale distribution for more than 40 years. We have produced an online news and information site for subscribers since 1997. All of MDM’s premium content – found in each twice-monthly issue of MDM – is available at mdm.com. The latest issue will now be presented in its entirety on the front page of our Web site. Just look for the cover of the issue under the title: Current Premium Issue.
 
If you have never accessed the premium content online, please contact us at 303-443-5060 to set up your account.
 
The Web site also offers breaking news daily, the MDM Blog, market and economic data, the MDM Store with books, reports and audio training products specific to wholesale distribution, and an easy-to-navigate MDM Archives, the best research resource in wholesale distribution.
 
New to the site: Find directories of industry associations and the largest distributors. MDM will also feature Multimedia. Click to play short audio clips on the Web site. In September, the first month of the new site, we are featuring interviews with Brent Grover on succession planning, Mike Marks on strategic pricing and channel management, and Bill Hodgdon on creating spend in manufacturing sales accounts.
 
When you arrive on our new Web site in September, take our quick site tour (look for the graphic above). Our tour will show you where to find key features on the new Web site.
 
In addition, please provide your thoughts on the new site so that we can continue to improve. Simply click on “We Welcome Your Feedback” to answer the brief, three-question survey.
 
I look forward to your feedback and am excited to make the new mdm.com meet your needs.
