(Just a little reminder to all readers: After a holiday hiatus, our next edition of Catalog Success’ The Corner View will appear in your e-mailbox on Jan. 11, 2008. Our weekly Idea Factory e-newsletter will come out next Tuesday, Dec. 18, as usual, then go on a two-week hiatus before returning to your inbox on Jan. 8, 2008, with its fresh new brand name, Catalog Success: Tactics & Tips. Until then, enjoy the holiday season.)
