The Graphics Express Story


 

TigerDirect, one of the most successful direct marketers in the industry, and a recent acquisition of GLOBAL DirectMail, introduced in May 1994, a completely new concept in software catalogs: the new Graphics Express Catalog, the first mass-market, dual-platform, total spectrum graphics catalog; quickly becoming the Ultimate Catalog of Graphics Applications, Hardware, Fonts, Digital Stock Photos, Clip-Art, and more --for PC/Windows and Macintosh platforms. The Graphics Express Catalog expands upon Tiger's expertise and marketing might by focusing on the area of computer graphics, publishing, animation, and presentations.  The catalog was conceived by Tim McGuinness as an outgrowth of his successful line of graphics content products under the WorldArt brand.

Graphics Express provides the largest possible product mix targeted towards the broadest spectrum of graphics buyers on both the PC and MAC platforms. As a complete graphics resource publication, this catalog features and highlights a wide variety of products, consisting of: the staple main-stream graphics products, as well as completely new releases, and the hard to find products. Products featured and highlighted in the catalog include: major graphics applications; graphics content, hardware such as printers, tablets and scanners; peripherals; and accessories. Graphics content products advertised include: fonts, stock photo collections, clipart, backgrounds, borders, and textures. It also includes a wide range of graphics utilities, and other related products and accessories. All are shipped from our stock, from one of the most sophisticated product delivery systems in the industry.

The Graphics Express advertising style provides much needed marketing through education, aiding the buyer in obtaining the maximum benefit from their graphics purchase. With its comprehensive coverage in each category , plus the complete story for these products, the catalog serves to educate the consumer and expose them to products that would otherwise have escaped notice. It explains each product in great detail, and is an essential comparative tool for selecting products, and with its up-to-date information that directly impacts the end-user's work product, it has become a must-have publication for every graphics user. In addition, the very broad range of graphics contents products makes Graphics Express an invaluable resource and idea book, dramatically improving shelf life of the catalog.

Direct marketing is the hottest growth area in the computer products business, and Tiger's Graphics Express is the ideal way to reach and gain access to new and incremental graphics markets. Unlike any other graphics catalog, Graphics Express also has the entire infrastructure, and broader product range of TigerDirect's and Global's major multi-catalog direct-sales organization behind it, better meeting the needs of both buyers and manufacturers.

Graphics Express is now mailed 6 times a year to 500,000 fully targeted, focused, recent graphics buyers. Recipients of the catalog are carefully selected from one of the largest lists in the industry , resulting in one of the most productive lists of known buyers of graphics applications, hardware, fonts, clip-art, and graphics utilities. This makes the Graphics Express Catalog the first and most targeted catalog of its kind anywhere.

TigerDirect, with sales well over 100 million itself, and now part of the GLOBAL group, has one of the largest, and most effective telesales staff available. Couple this with Tiger's ability to cross-sell and up-sell, means that Tiger delivers results, and with this catalog, brings a new level of excitement and performance to the graphics product marketplace.
