      • \nIn 2023, August results increased meaningfully compared to July – will we see a similar trend in 2024?\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

          \n
            \n
          • \nSGC had a strong July, bolstered by its first significant promotions of 2024.
            \nBoth baseball and basketball saw strong activity as a result, which will likely continue into August.
            \nWill SGC launch another targeted special in August to build on its momentum?\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

              \nThe sports segment is beginning to show modest momentum following the National.
              \nCan CGC build on its recent sports momentum and show further growth in August?\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

              • \nBeckett seems stuck in neutral, with July’s results looking very similar to those of June and the same period a year ago.
                \nThat said, there are some signs of life in basketball grading, thanks to Wembanyama.
                \nIs there an opportunity to build on a category that has historically performed well for Beckett?\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
