First Chinese Catalog

Don Libey, world-renowned consultant, advisor and futurist in multi-channel direct marketing and cataloging -- and a good friend -- recently sent the following e-mail to his clients and friends:

Here it is: the first Chinese retail catalog, as predicted. As many of you have heard me comment, the logical progression of global multichannel direct marketing is for China to become adept at fulfilling single customer orders directly to the western world from China. It is only a matter of education and a change in focus. This is the first actual announcement of a catalog capacity in China that I have seen. While the first is B2B, B2C will emerge in time. As China learns catalog and online marketing, the focus for dominance will shift to margin and logistics.

The world just changed.
