Copy and paste this and send to your manager or anyone else who might need to review expenses for approval at work. Thank you so much for supporting my work and Retail Diary.

Hi [name],

As part of our corporate policy, we are encouraged to subscribe to (and expense) industry publications. Our team currently subscribes to Business of Fashion, WWD and the Wall Street Journal. [feel free to customize this based on your particular company!]

These publications spotlight key industry trends and enable our team to create nimbler, forward-thinking strategies.

As these publications have been such a value add to our day-to-day, I’d like to propose Retail Diary for expense approval. A bit more about the publication:

  • Retail Diary is a weekly Substack that delivers insights about emerging retail, merchandising, fashion & beauty trends.

  • With a subscriber base of 8,600+ (and growing), its audience includes CEOs, Senior Executives, fashion designers, influencers, founders of beloved retail brands, journalists, and more.

  • I personally appreciate the newsletter’s mix of fashion news and case studies. Sarah really digs deep into the mechanics of how retail brands achieve success (this recent post about La Ligne or this Fall Forecast breakdown.)

  • “[Sarah’s] Retail Diary is an info-dense Substack written by a seasoned retail exec and researcher that’s become my go-to oracle of fashion-oriented business intelligence” –Marlien Rentmeester, Founder of Le Catch and former West Coast Editor of Lucky Magazine

Retail Diary’s paid tier is $8 per month or $80 annually.

Thank you,
