October’s issue of Appliance Retailer is out in retail stores and out the desks of movers and shakers across Australia, and there is plenty of big news to keep readers occupied.

Hot off the heels of one of the world’s biggest consumer electronics and appliance trade shows, AR takes a look at the all the major news to come out of IFA after seeing it first-hand on the trade show floor. There are pages full of new products (many of which haven’t even arrived on Australian shores yet) as well as key trends, and interviews from the Australian industry leaders who give their thoughts on the show.

There’s also an in-depth examination of Harvey Norman’s performance over the past year, as well as investigations on two very different retail models – those operated by Winning Appliances and Apple – and their impacts on the Australian retail industry.

For retailers looking at the difficulties that surround the selling of GPS devices and cordless phones, AR takes a blow-by-blow look at the innovations and products that are keeping these categories exciting (for consumers and retailers alike) as well as the ways these products are blurring the line between different technologies.

And fresh off the launch of Dyson’s latest and greatest vacuum cleaner, AR goes right to the horse’s mouth with its huge floorcare feature, which includes interviews with the leading brands, the latest GfK figures and all the info retailers need to know about the new vacuum and steam cleaning products hitting stores right now.

Finally, as the groom boom gets into full swing, AR’s Personal Care feature takes a look at the products men will be vying for this Christmas, while Digital Retailer looks at all the products that will be filling the stockings of technophiles in December.
