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. |
