Nice to meat you Hello, I'm Jessica, the new editor of Bizcommunity's retail newsletter. Besides the internal industry shift, I'm so excited about all the changes happening in the retail space... This week Nicci Botha reports back on Source Africa 2015 - the African apparel, textile and footwear trade event - covering a seminar on tools for developing international business, and the AGOA renewal and what it means for the next 10 years. An online revolution is changing everything from retailing to the real estate advertising landscape, and sees men forge ahead in mobile shopping. Soon you'll be able to buy things directly from your pins, and conduct online sales from paid-for Instagram pics, reports Warren Harding. And for mains, the Top 20 finalists for this year's Wolftrap Steakhouse Championships have been announced. Keep posted to find out this year's winner. Jessica Taylor, Group Editor (@Biz_Retail)

| Randy Pausch "The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people." |
