KDS - Direct helps you exploit the high sell-through, and premium visibility available from specialty retailers. These outlets give you a new source of quality, paid circulation with readers who are more likely to subscribe, and renew faithfully, than the reader buying impulsively from a mass-market newsstand. You also tap into the rapidly-growing specialty marketplace where advertisers get targeted consumers. Your consumer title will reach its target market with help from our KDS - Direct division.

The goal of KDS - Direct marketing strategy is to design, develop and implement magazine programs for traditional and non-traditional magazine retailers.

Your computer system may not be designed to handle this business cost-effectively. Our system is designed with the Retail Market in mind. We designed it to handle the complexity, yet allow for the flexibility, that Retail programs demand.

The system is complex because of the wide range of data that is gathered and put into clear, concise reports for you. We go beyond the basic financial, circulation, and production reports. You also receive a Postal Zone Analysis, Shipping Galleys, ABC Analysis Report, and much more. Vital information to help you track and direct your circulation efforts is readily available.

Flexibility is reflected in your choice of options; returnable or non-returnable copies, fixed or variable orders. You set the parameters for credit limits, class of trade, and when an account is past due. You control the program, but KDS - Direct will gather, maintain, and present your facts and figures in concise, penetrating reports.

Yet our system is much more than a compilation of your data. You also get data entry, caging/cashiering, return processing, dealer statements, customer service, and our warehouse pick-n-pack operations--the kind of comprehensive, quality service for which KDS - Direct is known.
