Let me guess.....Mouser?

Most parts companies don't issue catalogs anymore; you'll need to check
their web site.

Mouser sent me a couple of catalogs, the last probably sometime last
year. When I received no more, I assumed that it was because I hadn't
ordered anything from them. Their catalog is on line, but they don't
have everything: I found stuff in the Newark Electronics catalog that
wasn't in Mouser's.

Then there's DigiKey as well.

Recently did a web order by phone with Mouser and about 3 weeks later, un
announced and un needed, received the catalog in the mail!

Its marketing 101.... *any* order or correspondence gets you on their
mailing list. Same thing with my customers.... I always gat a name, address,
and phone number immediately after "Hello". From then on out, for up to 5
years, they are in my database and get fliers, mailers, post cards, etc with
the special de-jour. One of the best tricks is to send out cards to *all* of
the folks in the data base with a discount coupon on renewal of their
service agreement. You say you don't have a service agreement?? , no
problem, we will give you the discount as an "introductory offer", when can
we schedule you for a complete heating/cooling system perfoemance
evaluation?

It works a whole lot better than folks think.... and you still got the
catalog to look through for your next order :-)

That sounds like a local HVAC company that called me 35 times in one
week, insisting that I "Needed" their "Central air tune-up special" I
told them the fist 34 times that I didn't even have a window air
conditioner, let alone a central air system and not to call me and tie
up my business phone line again. The last time she called, I asked her
how many phone lines they had. The woman wanted to know why, so I told
her that if I got one more call that I was going to contact a lot of
people to have them make repeated calls about their services, then to
have them come out to give a price on a new central air system before
telling them they had changed their minds. She yelled that it was
harassment. I laughed and told her, "Now you know how I feel!", and
hung up. They never called me back.

Well I finally got thru to a Supervisor at MOUSER and told them
I had been promised a catalog a year ago and the noone in Hawaii
had every heard about MOUSER and why did they promise me one and
then never send it. They profuxely appologized to me and
said I would be sent one right away and it weighed x lbs
(I forgot how many lbs). I also told them I dont want any catalogging
done via email.

And same with DigiKey. But I'm going to request that
they NOT send paper catalogs. They've got so much
stuff that they keep making the font smaller every year
to fit it all in there. (And/or maybe my eyes are getting
old! :-)
Actually it is never ALL in the hard-copy catalog.
