Frequently Asked Questions found below:

1. How can using ICv2 help me improve my business? For retailers ICv2 provides the latest news from around the industry and the most recent sales information -- unbiased information gleaned from cutting edge stores. In addition ICv2 will provide the perspective and analysis that will help you understand the likely staying power and potential of today's trends and fads. For advertisers ICv2 provides access to the buyers for thousands of stores, who are using ICv2 to find information on what to buy and how to make their businesses more successful.

2. Why should a retailer who specializes in just games (toys, comics, anime, trading cards, etc. ) use ICv2? Well we would like to think that we offer trade information that is valuable in each of the categories we cover, but we also think that it is important to know what is going on in other fields. Many products cross numerous categories and provide additional sales opportunities for even the most specialized store. And, of course how a particular property is performing in one category has an effect on how it performs in others.

3. How often is ICv2 updated and when is the newest information available? ICv2 is updated throughout the day, every business day.
