Made to order
Article Abstract:
Moore Corporation Ltd. and KPN enable companies to offer potential customers tailored catalogs featuring a specified set of goods instead of a broad range of merchandise. Once a customer requests one, a company can deliver a narrowly focused, colorful catalog of items within two days. A test of the concept in the Netherlands demonstrated promise, and additional tests are planned in North America and the UK.

Royal treatment: a British company uses e-mail to help U.S. direct mailers expedite overseas delivery
Article Abstract:
Royal Mail U.S. Inc. allows US direct marketing firms to reach foreign markets in one to seven days, much faster than if they tried to send their catalogs from the US. Documents are produced and then mailed to prospective clients. Publicly owned Royal Mail is a subsidiary of the British Post Office. This service is important because foreign markets respond more often than US markets.
