Before you begin the effort to market your product to any type of catalog company, you need to know this: a catalog company is no different than any other distributor. The catalog companies will behave exactly as the distributors do in terms of your profits. You will have to sell your product to them at wholesale prices, generally around 50% of your retail price. Also, many catalog companies demand more free product than traditional distributors do. [ via HarmonyCentral ]
