Newsletter
    
All of our customers receive our monthly newsletter. The newsletter is also available on this website as separate Acrobat files. To view the Acrobat files, click the titles below.

Cover: This is a 13 picture view of the most successful or popular movies being released in the month. We choose the pics to grace the cover by their ranking. It's almost a duplicate of our 8 ½ x 11 color sheet (which shows 13 of the major titles being released).

Reviews: Our 2nd page begins with the reviews of the "A" titles in the order and ranking that is recorded on our back page/order sheet. The header bar contains the following information: street date, success ranking, genre, it's retail price, box office gross, number of screens shown at widest distribution and MPAA rating. We provide a picture of the box art and a synopsis of the film. We also highlight the filmography of the actors featured and similar titles that might interest those that enjoy that particular film. (This section is the bulk of the newsletter, running several pages)

DVDs: There is a short paragraph with DVD news and helpful suggestions to attract customers. Next we have the "DVD CATALOG LIST" that showcases 10 to 12 titles that are being released for the first time on DVD. Then the chart for our DVD pricing. (While we try to be competitive, lower prices can sometimes be found at department stores that use DVD as a tool to get people into their stores to buy other products.) We then present the monthly DVD list. It has every title being released that month. With some small exceptions this list is the most comprehensive we've seen. The list features the name of the title; it's retail price, street date and pre-book date. The pages are decorated by pictures of most of the DVD releases that month.

Other Titles : These are the straight-to-video and lesser know titles being released. Sometimes these will have lower retail prices than the "A" titles, but not always. In many cases these movies have well known actors in them and are quite good. We showcase the top 24 titles coming out. We do this by displaying a picture of the box art, street date, cast list and it's retail or sell price. (The rest of these titles are listed at the beginning of the Sell Thru section under the heading Other Titles.)

Games: We provide a list of the newest titles available on X-Box, Game Cube and Playstation 2. The titles are rated as to how popular we think they'll be to give you some insight on which ones will rent better. The wholesale sheet cost is also listed. This list usually falls in the center of the newsletter providing easier access.

Order Sheet: The back cover of our newsletter is the list of what's featured inside. Again we list the titles' street date, rating, PPV, studio, and retail price. It is meant to be used as a guide to help you order, and can be used as your actual order-sheet by simply clicking on the box to the left and filling in the amount.
