2009 Resource Guide

You’re sure to get a lot out of this, our sixth annual Catalog Success Resource Guide. This special section provides you all the crucial details, company information, contact numbers and addresses of product and service providers to catalog/multichannel marketers. You can find the most current information for these companies in the December print edition of Catalog Success, and that data will be reflected at the link above by the middle of December.

This year, we’ve simplified our approach a bit, and it’ll make the guide easier for you to navigate. We have one primary listing of companies by product/service category. Then at the end of the guide, we have an alphabetical list of all the companies and the corresponding pages on which their listings appear.

How to Use This Guide
Over the past nine months, we’ve invited all industry vendors to provide us their information for free inclusion in the guide. Vendors whose company names appear in red boldface and whose listings include additional product, service and company information have paid to have their profiles enhanced. They also paid to appear in multiple product/service sections.

As it is every year, this is also a regular issue of the magazine. And on pg. 42 we have a very special report relevant to the issue’s theme on vendor relations written by fulfillment and management expert Curt Barry. It focuses on vendor compliance programs — certainly a must-read. We also have our usual array of columns, so there’s much for everyone here.

If you have problems finding anything, feel free to contact me anytime.
