This February 2013 issue of The Trend Curve marks an important turning point in our nearly 25-year-old publishing history. It is our first digital-only issue and our Members received this one week earlier than if it had been printed and mailed. The video below will let you know, Members, where to find the digital versions and that this current issue is available online.
We made the decision to go to a digital-only format for two reasons. The first was the steady beat of progress. Publishing has been moving from print to devices for the past several years. In 2012, the move went from a trickle to a rush.
The Trend Curve first offered digital subscriptions in 2010. That was the year when many of our subscribers outside of the US (and especially beyond North America) began to ask for it. By 2012, requests were coming steadily from those closer to home. People told us they wanted our trend forecasts faster and in an easier format. We listened and delivered.

This issue of The Trend Curve can be viewed when and where you want it—on any device—so you not only get it fast, but also can reference it anywhere, anytime, any place.
The online version of The Trend Curve uses Google Translate which supports 65 languages and variations!
The second reason to embrace digital delivery is that the amount of content we can deliver to you is now greater. Specifically, we have doubled the number of images to help you see the trends, and we can put them directly into The Trend Curve, rather than in related posts (though we will continue to post special content for Members). Since most Members of our subscriber family love the visuals at least as much as what we write, we know this will help you to get a clearer perspective on incoming trends.
