Anybody on here a business subscriber? Wondering what the rates are these days and what the quality of the seasonal info is.

I don't know what the rates are but I've found the information quite useful over the past couple of years.

Does your company subscribe?
I used to be subscribed through an employer back int he day. Always found it could be patchy... some seasons they are on the money and the site is full of really fresh insights, then for two or three years they would be rolling out the same old themes and it all would feel a bit lazy. Granted they were reflected the lack of confidence at retail during those times, but now I'll be paying the subscription, so it better be GOOOOOOD!

Yeah, the company I work for subscribes. Where I find it helps me is that the work I do doesn't hit the market for 12-14 months after I produce it, so I find any sort of "predictions" concerning market trends to be helpful.
If I had to foot the bill myself, I'm not sure if I would. I don't know what the annual subscription is but I hear it's quite expensive.

Congratulations on your first commission. I was reading about in the blog thread, thought about adding a note, but no-one ever reads them that far back. I hope to say goodbye to the computer in the next couple of years. I envy you your first step into that world.

I used to work for wgsn as part of the 'think tank'... trend prediction stuff.
They don't like to pay.

I just received an email about renewing my subscription, it costs $1000 per year. Ouch!
- is that all? It used to be like £3000 - maybe there's different packagesmax_prophet
