Still Monday morning here in San Francisco. Post number 3. Not unusual for us on the activity side. Our PR team wondered if we could post once a week. Once a week? I think we can clear that hurdle.
We are beginning to reach out to others in the market who we think add value and frankly can add value on top of our point of sales field data. Our first target is Eric Savitz over at Barron’s where he publishes Tech Trader Daily. He publishes alot to SeekingAlpha too where we also post quite a bit.
Another site we like quite a bit but has been a little hiatus is No Turn on Red. They cover retailand branding over there and we believe they will find lots to comment on about our data sets on retailers and consumer goods companies. The Kohl’s post from this morning would be a good place for them to pick up again. We hope to have lots of interaction with No Turn on Red down the road.
We’ll highlight more great bloggers and particpants in the information industry who think are useful and interesting.

Busy Monday for us here at TickerMine.
We have just deployed some new features that we hope you all will find helpful and useful.
First, we are offering a free trial of our premium Diamond Miner level of service for 30 days. This will let users see the full value of getting real time access to valuable point of sale data in detail. We are confident there is no where else to get large groups of point of sales data for so little cost.
We have added a calendar so you can see when new stories are planned to be posted. You can access the calendar here http://www.tickermine.com/events .
We have also added e-mail alerts for tickers of specific interest to you. You can set ticker preferences and receive e-mail alerts for reports on these tickers by clicking into you “account” settings. The “account” link is in the upper right hand corner of the page when you are first logged in to TickerMine.
We have added two additional new features that allow users to more precisely communicate with the TickerMine team. First, we now have a “Dig Deeper” link that allows users to request custom reports on tickers or sectors of interest. These reports will not be posted to the general site and are proprietary to the requester. The second feature is a “Feedback” link where you can tell us what you think about the site, request new names for inclusion on the site and can alert us to any other items of importance you think we need to hear about.
Finally, we have added RSS Feeds for the truly tech savvy. The RSS feeds provide Silverminer level access to content. You’ll have to come to TickerMine directly to get the premium Gold and Diamond levels of information.
That is quite a bit. If you have any trouble finding or using any of the new features please let me know and I will be happy to help out.
Thank you.

Good Monday morning everyone.
One of the great ways to use TickerMine data is to confirm company management projections, forecasts and promises about trends and product development.
We have a survey posted on the site about Kohl’s (KSS) showing that Vera Wang’s line at Kohl’s is now seen as the best selling brand of women’s clothing at the store by 29% of respondents. This compares to no respondents thinking it was the best line in our November survey. We have five survey’s on Kohl’s over the past six months.
Kohl’s management has been focusing on the performance of premium brands and private label brands in presentations to investors. From our data is appears that these brands are beginning to perform better. Apt. 9 and Daisy Fuentes are important brands in this strategy and we see those in our survey’s as well.
Our survey’s are a piece of the puzzle but an important one since there is scant primary data from the point of sale in the investment industry. We make that data available and usable for our clients to help them gain better insight into the real economy. Check us out for more great insights at www.tickermine.com

Hi everyone,
This is the beginning of our corporate blog for TickerMine. What’s TickerMine? good question. We get that one alot. TickerMine is a subscription service that offers daily reports on point of sale data for a broad range of U.S. companies.
What is Point of Sale (POS) data? Another good question. Sometime POS refers to actual sales results at stores. This data is the property of the companies that collect it and not generally available. What we collect is feedback from the employees of these companies. We provide very specific detail on how business is on the restaurant floor, at the department store on the auto lot and at the local bank.
We are always increasing our coverage of companies (currently at 205) and once we begin coverage you can expect to see that company covered with the same survey every month. This will provide everyone with not only excellent current point of sale data but nice historical data to compare against.
We primarily cover publicly traded U.S. companies but do include some private companies and some foreign companies that are not traded in the U.S. to provide good indusry coverage. As an example we cover Alltel and Mitsubishi and Suzuki.
Finally, why “Market Depth” as the title of the blog? Well TickerMine is a reflection of our view that we are mining the real world for valuable nuggets of information that can be of great use to everyone. We truly view ourselves as a raw material provider to the information economy. Market Depth tries to convey the sense that we’re deep underground and just now bringing our materials to the surface.
This blog will focus alot on the data we produce at www.tickermine.com and highlight interesting trends we are seeing and believe others might also find interesting. I will also keep you posted on our progress as a company and a business in the coming weeks and months.
Feel free to contact me anytime at casey@tickermine.com.
