Don Bradley asks, “How about a pop quiz to test up on one of the art markets biggest opportunities before we jump into the deals? Q: What is Sequential Art? A: Sequential Art is the term used by professionals and the education community to cover the field of comics, cartooning, graphic novels, Manga, etc.”
Don continues with, “Strathmore’s spring promotion extends through April 17 for reduced drop ship orders; ask your MacPherson’s rep for the details. In addition to our new Sequential Art Surfaces that I talked about in the last Art Dog Blog, we have repackaged our digital greeting cards. They are now called Inkjet Cards and they are at an extra 15% off. The new packaging is much like our traditional Creative Cards which will allow you to merchandise them on the two greeting card racks we offer. There are six items: Canvas, Pearl, Glossy, Matte, Textured and Watercolor Cards, all with an MSRP of $8.79. Cross merchandise them in your inkjet or digital supply department for increased sales. Unlike most of the inkjet cards on the market, Strathmore’s are 5″ x 7″, traditional greeting card size. Most office supply brands start with 8 ½” x 11″ stock and then fold to 5 ½” x 8 ½”. In addition we have four cello-packs of our Creative Cards with an extra 20% off. These are Strathmore’s traditional Creative Cards packaged for cross merchandising and check stand displays. Our Watercolor Cards are made with high quality 140 lb. cold-press watercolor paper. The 50 and 100 count bulk packs are on special with an extra 20% off, stack them high and watch them fly!
All of these specials and more are in the MacPherson’s Spring Buyers Guide and the discounts are in effect on orders shipped from their distribution centers through May 30th.
