I dedicate this week’s column to the memory of all of the people who lost their lives on 9/11/2001 and their families. — Jim
When you get busy living, working and playing in your life, time does fly. Since I started writing this Web column for Catalog Success, a whole year has passed.
I’ve tried to make my column unique and hopefully let a bit of my personality come through in my writing. I try not to take things too seriously, and I’ve tried to imbue some of my humor and a touch of irreverence in my writings to you.
But mostly, I’ve tried to impart some of the things I’ve learned along the way about direct and catalog marketing.
To those of you who read my column, I want to thank you for your patronage, and I look forward to offering you more tips and ideas. We live in a society that’s information-rich and time-starved, and I truly appreciate the time you’ve taken away from other tasks to read this column.
To those of you who’ve posted comments, questions, even criticisms (and even the guy who called me “snarky”), I thank you too.
As I stated back last September, this column is about you. If you have any questions you’d like me to answer, controversies you’d like me to address or ideas for future columns, feel free to post them below. Or if you prefer to ask offline, e-mail me at jimdirect@aol.com.
To recap this past year would take up much space. As I look back, some of my columns stand out and resonate with me. In no particular order, my Top Six are below. Please hit the “submit a comment” button to share with myself and other readers which columns you were able to make a buck from and perhaps explain how they worked out for you. We’d all love to hear about it and share some more ideas.
