September: What to Watch
Written by John Packard
September 4, 2013
Steel Market Update first attempt at a Monthly Newsletter was received very well. Our first issue went out at the beginning of August recapping the key events, prices and trends for the prior month (July).
We have received a number of calls and emails wanting more information about how their company can subscribe to our Monthly Newsletter. It seems a number of executives realize that this would be a perfect month wrap-up vehicle to provide to upper management.
We also believe it is perfect for smaller companies or those who don’t want to be bothered with reading daily (or three times per week in the case of our Executive Level) newsletters.
SMU will begin taking orders for our Monthly Newsletter once our new website comes online a little later this month (September).
