    The fact that two new reports are announced in this issue serves as a reminder of the importance of statistical information, for manufacturers as well as for their suppliers. Professionally prepared reports, in conjunction with reliable trade publications, provide the only practical means of accessing information that is essential to the development of business strategies and marketing approaches. Unfortunately, there are still too many bodywear manufacturers and suppliers whose sole strategy is to sell enough one season to survive into the next. Tomorrow’s winners, however, are the companies that define their medium and long term objectives and devise the most effective means of reaching them. To do so, they need all the relevant information that is available.
