Fort Lauderdale, FL—It’s a brave company that launches a
print consumer catalog in this economy environment. The Sports
Authority, a $1.5 billion sporting goods retailer, is one such
company. On Oct. 9 it mailed the debut issue of its catalog to an
undisclosed number of names, most of them prospects. Global Sports, a
PA-based third-party fulfillment company and developer of e-commerce
businesses, is processing the orders. Global also handles fulfillment
of The Sports Authority’s Internet business. As part of the
catalog launch, The Sports Authority is testing interactive kiosks in a
small number of its nearly 200 stores in more than 30 states.
