In the past we have organized thousands of cooperative mailings for publishers & producers.

We published the Twin Peaks television show catalog of products (we came along first though!) & international newsletter after being inundated with calls on our toll-free line by Twin Peaks fans & then received a lot of national media attention.  We definitely took advantage of the situation!

We've been written up in hundreds of newspapers & other publications, & featured many times -- both radio & television.
