Publications

The Minnesota Retailers Association (MnRA) continually keeps members up to date on the most recent trends and issues that are affecting retail business. Through various publications, we are able to educate retailers about key issues that influence the bottom line of doing business.

MnRA's publications include:

• The Retail Beat, a weekly email publication, represents the most up to date information pertaining to retailers in the state of Minnesota and nationally. Highlighting the latest news and trends in the industry, retailers have the information they need at their fingertips to create opportunities to grow their business.

• The Capitol Connection, a weekly email publication during the Minnesota Legislative Session, notifies members of the latest issues and information that are impacting retail business at the State Capitol. This includes action that the Minnesota Retailers Association is taking on behalf of our members, as well as hot topics, bills and other news important to retailers.

• Chain Drug/ Pharmacy Alert, a periodic email publication, advises pharmacy members of activities of the Board of Pharmacy, as well as action taken by the State Legislature. It allows members to stay accurately informed and learn how to educate legislators on the important role pharmacy plays in the health care delivery system.

• The Retailers Edge, a quarterly publication, represents the most recent news and trends in the industry. Featuring information that is valuable to both large and small businesses, retailers are provided with tools to improve and expand their business. It also updates members on the latest news coming out of the Minnesota Retailers Association, as well as providing access to our RetailPlus+ Partner Services.

• The End of Session Legislative Report, an end-of-session publication, provides retailers with an outline of the bills that MnRA works on throughout the year to improve the marketplace for retailing in Minnesota. Issues that commonly appear in this report include, but are not limited to, minimum wage, property taxes, sales tax, health care, environmental restrictions, privacy and many more.

• The It's the Law Guidebook, published every two years, educates retailers on the laws they must abide by when doing business in Minnesota.

Once you join MnRA you will not only have access to the current publications, but you will also have access to our vast library of past volumes of The End of Session Legislative Reports, The Retailers Edge and It's the Law Guidebook dating all the way back to 2004.
