Year 1 Growth: The Wiglaf Journal

Who ever said, time flies when you enjoy what you’re doing, was correct. The Wiglaf Journal staff can testify to time flying, and having fun from journalistic contributions to the business community it serves.

The origin of the journal was May 2002, when Tim Smith, PhD, a then contributing author to The May Report, was encouraged to include the business information articles into his business consultancy website. Since its inception, the journal has evolved into an independent stand-alone international business resource.

The journal is a product of growth, coming from its readership roster, senior management of multi-tiered businesses, outside independent and syndicated publications, and national organizations committed to business and technology. Because of these support bases, today The Wiglaf Journal maintains its own domain identity www.wiglafjournal.com, and an editorial and graphic design staff.

In its first year, the journal has provided strategies and tactics for business growth to a community well beyond the Midwest. It has examined the sales and marketing issues of successful businesses through case studies, editorials, and thought provoking research to reveal industry best practices. What began as a weekly publication has grown into a subscriber base of a 1,000 senior managers, sales and marketing professionals, and academia associates. It has become a forum for guest authors, professional associations, event coverage, and various levels of community and academic service.

The following comments reflect the journals content value to its subscribers:
