Publisher: Travel Retail and Duty Free Business Intelligence

TheMoodieReport.com is published by independent company Moodie International, now one of the UK’s most successful multi-media business-to-business publishers and information providers. The website was launched in March 2003 and quickly became established as an indispensable source of reliable and real-time business intelligence on the global travel retail sector. It now regularly attracts over 260,000 page views a month. The Moodie Report.com grew out of The Moodie Report, a weekly e-Newsletter and PDF for the travel retail industry launched in September 2002 (subsequently relaunched as the sector's first e-Zine in late 2011). The Moodie Report effectively challenged – and reinvented – the whole trade press model, winning widespread industry recognition for its no-nonsense, easy-to-read format, style and content, mercifully free of the usual industry speculation, spin and barely disguised advertorial. The html-linked e-Newsletter (called 'Editor's Choice' and published every Wednesday) and pioneering e-Zine (Thursday) are now sent to over 7,500 readers each week (a list that is regularly updated) making them easily the best-read media in the travel retail marketplace, as well as the most respected and trusted. In October 2003 our brand was extended to The Moodie Report Print Edition. Published in a unique user-friendly concise size that is handy for travel, briefcase or handbag, it was an immediate critical and commercial success and is now a clear leader on a like-for-like issue basis in advertising terms. Unlike other trade publications, it avoids the semi-advertorial 'product feature' driven approach and focuses instead on in-depth analysis of the industry and of the drivers underpinning the business – such as currency and tourism trends. From 2007 the quarterly frequency was extended to six times a year, bolstered by key supplements – including The Moodie Report Category Insight and dedicated retailer and airport publications. In October 2007 we launched The Moodie Report Digital Print Edition, using award-winning ‘Olive’ software that provides readers anywhere, anytime access to current and back issues. It enhances the user experience through multimedia and a variety of viewing options, as well as allowing search capabilities of all articles, advertisements and images across the entire Print Edition. Unlike any rivals using similar technology for their paid subscribers, The Moodie Report Digital Print Edition is sent by hyperlink to the entire readership of The Moodie Report newsletter and e-Zine – free of charge. As an organisation we continue to invest heavily in innovative digital media, including The Moodie Podcast, The Moodie Blog, The Moodie Forum, The Moodie App, The Moodie Twitter feed and a popular new service called The Moodie View that allows us to show film clips and video online.
