's innovative online Virtual Trade Show Tour to help Christian retailers keep on top of new products and services has proved highly popular.

Video presentations from almost 90 exhibitors at this month's The Gathering 2009, sponsored by the publication, have been posted at the magazine's Web site.

Filmed live at the Jan. 7-9 event in Kisssimmee, Fla., the reports from the exhibit floor feature key new products for the coming year and details of specials offered at the Jan. 7-9 show.

Within four business days of the Virtual Trade Show Tour opening online, it had been visited by 415 people who clicked through to watch a total of 2,750 individual presentations, said Christian Retailing Publisher Dave Condiff.

"We have been very encouraged by the response," he said. "We have had twice as many people come to the site as we had at the conference itself. We're pleased that people are catching the vision for what we are trying to do to provide more solution for both retailers and suppliers."

The Virtual Trade Show Tour from The Gathering 2009 can be viewed at the new Christian Retailing Web site, www.christianretailing.com.
