Print Catalogs Remain Primary Sales Channel

A survey conducted by the Direct Marketing Association revealed that the print catalog remains the largest revenue generator amongst all channels, accounting for nearly 50% of total sales in both 2007 and 2008. Results of the 106 multichannel merchants polled showed that 62% consider catalogs their primary sales channel. Only 20% of those polled cited the Web as their primary channel and just 6% said retail was. Of those respondents surveyed, 59% indicated that they have increased circulation, while 15% reported no change. Additionally, 44% of the merchants reported increasing page counts and 42% reported no changes at all in pages.
