Our Subscribers Say...
I think Credit Today is fantastic. You cover many practical topics in the credit field that I use regularly. Just one recent example—a conversation on the ListServ about preferential payments—gave me tips that I used in an actual case. The specific information I picked up from this one discussion saved me $10,000, enough to cover my membership for many years!
- Steve Savino
Manager of Credit & Collections, ASSA Abloy Americas Division, New Haven, CT
Credit Today's Resource Directory and their online e-mail forum (ListServ) provide information on almost any credit-related topic you can think of. It is a great way to exchange information with other credit professionals. As the saying goes, "You don't know what you don't know."
- Scott Goen,
Credit Manager, Big Lots Stores, Inc., Wholesale Division
"We've recently started using the ListServ tool within Credit Today. This is phenomenal and powerful forum for gaining immediate feedback, ideas, and suggestions, relative to any credit topic under the sun, all in a real-time e-mail format."
-Javier Vela, Senior Credit Manager, Global Credit Services, JDA Software Group Inc.
"Being a part of the Credit Today online community is like having the expertise of hundreds of credit managers at your fingertips. These credit execs are willing to help you solve topical business issues as they arise. In the current environment of ever increasing competing priorities which reduce our opportunities to meet peers out of the office face-to-face, this is the most valuable tool you can have on your desktop! It's important that we have a mechanism to reach out to our counterparts quickly to exchange knowledge as well as to stay on top of industry trends."
- Victoria Artis, Director of Customer Financial Services, Pfizer, Inc.
"Over the last 10 years I've seen Credit Today evolve from a monthly credit publication into a quality source of information and guidance for the B2B credit community. The website, with its user friendly form downloads, will take you from examples of new account credit applications to bankruptcy forms and everything in between.
The Credit Today ListServ has become the pre-imminent online forum, providing an opportunity for discussion and comments (and occasional humor) from an impressive list of credit professionals."
David Dungan, Director of Credit
Justin Brands, Inc. (A Berkshire Hathaway company)
Fort Worth, Texas
"There are numerous credit periodicals available to the credit professional today. How good is Credit Today? Is it relevant? I always have to read it late, or online because my credit analysts want to read it the minute it comes in. When my staff wants to read a publication before I have a chance to read it then something is working in that publication. We have cancelled our other subscriptions. When you have the best you do not need the rest."
Ron Woods
Corporate Credit Manager-World Wide
Thales Navigation, Inc.
"The newsletter, coupled with the website and the ListServ, are to us, more valuable than any other credit publication, bar none. I try to use at least one article out of each newsletter for departmental training/discussion sessions."
D. Mark Constantine
Corporate Credit Mgr
Fulton Paper Company
"I love Credit Today and read every issue cover to cover. For me, the greatest perk of a subscription is ListServ. I believe Credit Today's ListServ members may be the most knowledgeable Credit brain trust in existence today. I have saved and categorized hundreds of contributions on a wide variety of topics which I refer to often. It's an easy and cost effective way to network and learn."

ARMS Releases First Round of Future Retail Store Closures for 2012
January 3, 2012
Over A Hundred Planned Closings Include Sears, Kmart, J.C. Penney, Toys R Us And More Great Neck, NY (PRWEB) ARMS (Accounts Receivable Management Solutions), an affiliated company of Information Clearinghouse, Inc., released last week the latest list of planned retail store closings for 2012 in the Tomorrow's News Today (TNT) Database. The TNT Database now includes the initial 79 Sears/ Kmart locations closing in conjunction with the company's 2012 business plan, in addition to other store closures of interest such as J.C. Penney, Target, Petco, Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, Bon-Ton, Toys R Us and more. Through extensive research, ARMS is able to provide closure and/or layoff details for companies throughout the U.S. The database, which is kept current and updated daily, includes the number of employees, effective date and the precise location of the store, warehouse or manufacturing facility. Lawrence Sarf, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Now that we are beginning to see the early signs of economic recovery, retailers are going to need to position themselves to realize the greatest sales lift from a revitalized consumer. For some, that may mean closing weaker stores to preserve capital for reinvestment in a more focused store base. A store about to close is a loss of brand exposure for the seller, but it is also an opportunity to get in front of the competition in determining what other local retailers will gain from the closure. National consumer goods manufacturers can use the database to minimize surprises. Likewise, our TNT Database has become a tool of choice for real estate companies, landlords, real estate brokers whose profession is dependent upon being fully informed on significant changes in space availability. Management in virtually all disciplines need, more than ever, to take full advantage of all tools available. Our TNT is definitely a 'glass half full' product for sales, marketing, distribution, real estate and financial executives." Lawrence Sarf has over 45 years of hands-on, practical experience in numerous retail industries. His experience and industry knowledge has made him a recognized and respected expert in financial, operational, marketing and insolvency matters. Market Service Inc. (t/a ARMS), (http://ww.fdarms.com) along with sister companies F&D Reports (http://www.fdreports.com) and Creditntell (http://www.creditntell.com), are recognized as the premiere financial consulting services with respect to nearly 20 retail channels of distribution. For a sample look at this truly unique database, contact Lori Ziegler at 1.800.789.0123 ext.148 or visit http://www.fdarms.com to request a trial password. ###
