Web Weekly

Dos and Don'ts of catalog circulation strategy

Many multichannel merchants are compelled to cut catalog circulation because of the current economic picture. Some retailers, however, are doing so in the name of "mailing smarter." The goal is for sales to drop at only a fraction of circulation cuts. Multichannel merchants such as Williams-Sonoma and J. Crew reported double-digit reductions to circulations in the first half of this year simultaneous with better-than-expected profits. However, one retailer, Chico's, has expressed remorse recently over making cuts it later realized may have been too dramatic. Here, Kevin Hillstrom, president, MineThatData; Rod Ford, CEO, CognitiveData; and Holly Wasas, account manager, brokerage, Direct Media Millard, weigh in on how to cut back wisely.
