In the United States, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It’s the reason we're sending out the Global Communicator a bit early this month and also why we have chosen retail as our industry focus. Our featured language is Japanese. With more than 70 percent of Japan's population logging on to the Internet, it's a language your organization may be interested in learning more about as it seeks to grow its online customer base.

As you prepare for the holiday season, I also want to introduce you to a non-profit our organization feels is making big changes in the lives of many small children. Read our latest news to find out more about Whole Child International and its impact on orphanages around the world.

We are always looking for new topics of interest and feedback from our readers. Please send us your story ideas, share Global Communicator with a friend or colleague, or request more information about our e-Publication.
