 Direct: Making book; Vachel Pennebaker and Sears bet big on a new line of specialty catalogs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Sears' return to catalogs shouldn't come as a total surprise, since the company had said that it would evaluate "various opportunities to participate in non-store retailing" at the time it closed the big book last year.
But as the executive who's quarterbacking Sears' dramatic turn into specialty catalogs, and who was on the team Sears created to study what to do after the decision was made to close the big book, Pennebaker brings a seasoned track record in direct marketing to the company's specialty catalog approach.
But both before the demise of the giant catalog and during the period when he and his team contemplated what strategy to pursue post-big book, he was aware of a tremendous database opportunity.

The first Scott catalog was a thin 21-page pamphlet with the grand title ''Descriptive Catalogue of American and Foreign Postage Stamps, Issued from 1840 to Date, Spendidly Illustrated with Colored Engravings and Containing the Current Value of each Variety''.
As the dominant catalog in the US, Scott editors have great influence over what is and is not considered to be a valid postage stamp.
In addition, a catalog may serve internal purposes of the library, for example as an inventory of everything that should be present.

The use of ad specialties is an excellent method for a company to place its name onto various items which people use every day, thus continually putting their name in front of customers and potential customers.
When you deal with ad specialty manufacturers, you must get across to them that you are a reseller and that you have a customer who is looking for their product.
As the catalogs come in, file one copy of each (alphabetically by line name) along with all of the accompanying sales literature and note in your database that you have a catalog on file.

 History of the Sears Catalog
The 1943 Sears News Graphic wrote that the Sears catalog, "serves as a mirror of our times, recording for future historians today’s desires, habits, customs, and mode of living." The roots of the Sears catalog are as old as the company.
The 1895 catalog added eyeglasses, including a self-test for "old sight, near sight and astigmatism." At this time Sears wrote nearly every line appearing in the catalogs drawing upon his personal experience using language and expressions that appealed to his target customers.
Specialty catalogs now appeared covering such items as bicycles, books, clothing, groceries, pianos and organs, and sewing machines.

 Catalog Age: Ward's second coming: at Montgomery Ward, specialty catalogs rise from big book's ashes - reenters the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Catalog consultant Richard Hodgson points out that merchandise buyers for the old Ward's catalog thought of themselves as retail merchants, not direct marketers, and therefore didn't meet all the special needs of the catalog business.
According to Harold Schwartz, the former head of Ward's catalog operation and now CEO of Joan Cook, Montgomery Ward's elimination of its fledgling specialty catalogs in 1985 resulted in its missing out on the boom years of the late '80s--one of the most profitable periods in catalog history.
If the specialty books had remained, the agents could have claimed that Ward itself was taking away their walk-in business through its new use of targeted mail.

Specialty paper retailers often have a selection of papers hard to get elsewhere, are usually very knowledgeable about the papers' environmental characteristics, and frequently have been the backbone for building the alternative paper market.
Depending on the structure of the specialty retailer's business, customers may be able to buy quantities as small as reams or sheets, although some target larger businesses and have minimum purchase requirements just as the distributors do.
Most of these stores also have catalog delivery services and may provide an even wider variety of recycled papers through phone orders than is available on their store shelves.
