Believe It or Not: The Digital Age is Breathing New Life into Catalogs
Some History
Not long after the printing press was invented, the first catalogs were printed, and have been in circulation ever since. Seed companies started utilizing catalogs in the 17th Century, and they continue to this date. Even Ben Franklin, though better known for lightning rods and bifocals, is credited with the invention of the mail order concept. He created a catalog of nearly 600 book titles, and made it possible for people to purchase without visiting his store front.

MarComPOP holds all of its strategic partners to an exceptionally high standard. We expect an exceedingly high degree of attention-to-detail within very compressed timelines. This combination of speed and accuracy is very difficult to master and even more difficult to deliver reliably. The team at jamgd consistently over-delivers on both our performance expectations and in their ability to create compelling designs. If you’re considering a firm to assist your organization in its visual communication, I highly recommend jamgd.
