Retail Insider

Merchant-side, read sideways for demand signal

Canadian retail industry trade press, daily.

Daily synopsis, plus monthly and quarterly reportsFreeRetail Insider Media Ltd.Own site

Describes itself as Canada's most-read online retail industry publication. A daily synopsis plus retailer financials, people moves, op-eds, and recurring reports including a monthly Canadian Retail Monitor and quarterly shopping centre and luxury analysis. Podcast and magazine alongside. Coverage is predominantly physical retail and the Canadian market: quarterly results, store openings, consumer spending, tariffs and supply chain.

Watch for. The furthest from this audience of anything listed here. Very little ecommerce, no Shopify coverage, and written for retail operators and analysts rather than software. Read it if you sell to Canadian retailers or want macro consumer context, not for anything about apps. Carries display advertising and sponsored op-eds from vendors.
