# Traffic & Membership Registrations Soar to New Levels!

Regular members will agree with me when I say the last month on the forums has seen some of the most activity we have had, ever! - Not only this but we also slashed our record number of newly registered members by a considerable margin! We had 450 new members join the forums in May, which if we continue on the same level will make my 10,000 member mark by the end of the year a very realistic one. May I take this opportunity to thank all of you who joined the forums over the past few months and of course those of you who continue to contribute on a daily basis to make the forums the resource it is today.

# TWF Reaches 8000 Registered Members!

As I write this we are just 16 members away from reaching the 8000 members mark. By the time many of you read this I'm confident we will have topped the 8000 mark. The gaps in-between these 1k member landmarks seem to be getting smaller and smaller which is just a clear sign of our global popularity increasing! I hope you will join me in celebrating yet another landmark membership achievement! - Well Done everybody!

# June MOTM Awarded to greedyboy!

Congratulations to greedyboy this months winner of the Member of the Month award.

Well what can I say about Dean that hasn't already been expressed in just over a month that he has been with us. He has already clocked up 100 quality and resourceful posts in the short time he has been a member.

I'm told that he was a "lurker" for a few months, and like you I'm wishing he joined sooner! Notably in the last week he wrote an article on Dealing With The Chinese and combined both his own knowledge and experience with the proof of pictures. If any of you haven't seen his article yet, please do read it, it's a gold mine for anybody thinking about doing business in Asia.

Read his article here: Dealing with The Chinese

It's great to have somebody as knowledgeable and experienced as you with us here on the forums Dean, so thank you and you fully deserve this months prestigious award!

# Important Notice: Private Messaging Limitations!

I thought this notice was worth mentioning in this months newsletter as a few of you have expressed a concern at not being able to use the PM system on the forums. So here is a brief reminder:

Private Messaging is now limited to members with 10 posts or above!

# Your Membership Brings Exciting Months Ahead!

Many of you may be wondering what we have planned for the coming months. Well as I hinted a few months back a lot of planning and research has been going on behind the scenes as to how we can improve the resource we currently offer our members. With this in mind the last two months have been spent planning the re-development of our global identity and brand image. I'm happy to announce that in just a month or so time we will be launching a new forum skin design and brand image. We are currently in the development stage with our designer with phase 1 complete and phase 2 due to be completed in just a few weeks time. For now I don't wish to disclose too much but what I can say is that there are some very exciting times ahead, times that you and your business will definitely not want to miss out on!!

# The Wholesale Directory

As those of you who have visited the forum and read our newsletters recently will know, we re-launched our wholesale directory a few months back. It's popularity and exposure is now beginning to be felt amongst the web community with both traffic and advertisers increasing on a daily basis. The Wholesale Directory is a premium resource for both those looking for stock, and those looking to distribute it. It contains only high quality premium suppliers and all those suppliers listed are vetted before they are accepted. At present it is a completely free resource for both buyers and suppliers to use! (So please make use of it!)

If you haven't checked out the only premium wholesale directory on the web yet, I would strongly advise you do so:

* You can advertise your wholesale business in The Wholesale Directory for free! - Submit your business today! *

Well that brings me to my conclusion for this month. The summer months have now begun and exciting times lie ahead for you as members of The Wholesale Forums.

I wish you a very pleasant week ahead!

Kind Regards,
