I am more than excited to use this space to tell you about a new partnership Museums & More in entering with one of the industry’s most influential fraternities — the Zoo & Aquariums Buyers Group, commonly known as ZAG.

Museums & More has long valued its relationship with ZAG, including being sponsor for numerous years. However, we felt it beneficial to strengthen our association in the way of more content and directed toward and about ZAG members.

Starting with the spring 2017 issue, each Museums & More will include a special ZAG section with content about the organization, including information on members, sponsors, initiatives, coming events, trade shows and any other bits and pieces of info that may be of note.

Obviously, aquarium and zoo buyers, whether members of ZAG or not, will be especially interested in our newest addition. We believe this new section offers value to all of our readers, however. After all, we are all about providing retailers in destination locations ways to improve their business, whether that is offering the best customer service, learning from and networking with other retailers or showcasing great products.

We’re happy to announce this partnership with ZAG and hope you find it valuable. If you have any feedback, questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let me know. You can email me at mmedit@museumsandmore.com.
