Among these efforts will be
education through information
exchanges, seminars, on-line
conferences and free teaching
exchange efforts.

To do this, we collect advance
information about glass
media initiatives, milestones
and in particular, events and
creative trends. To facilitate
this, the editors produce a
monthly newsletter, facilitate 
online communities at the
state and national level and
offer a frequently updated
website covering the vast,
growing world of glass
media.

This website features the
latest information on the
following topics:

Reports on new trends in glass media.   
Better ways to market and sell products and services. 
Tax advantages 
Hobby-to-craftsperson-to-merchant trends 
Upcoming events 
New products, services 
Sales techniques that work 
What's happening abroad 
Pricing trends 
New marketing venues 
Artistic trends 
Up-and-coming artists 

Given extensive use of surveys,  advisory panels and expert analysis, many issues highlighted by Glass Media Digest are often not identified until months later by the popular press.
