Me and Marketing Manager Alexandra Schexnayder packing up the catalog to be shipped to press!

Did the stork arrive at your doorstep yet? You know, the mythical bird bringing the bouncing bundle of joy that is the 2013 Gems & Findings/Display & Packaging catalog? Okay, perhaps the latest Rio catalog is not your baby, but it surely is ours. After seven months of production, thousands of man (and woman!) hours, and hundreds of pots of coffee, the 2013 G&F/D&P catalog came into the world (and hot off the press) on June 20, 2012.

Funnily enough, that’s my birthday, too! And since the 2013 Gems & Findings/Display & Packaging catalog had consumed nearly every waking hour of the last few months of my 28^th year, my co-workers made me an awesome card. . . featuring the 2013 Gems & Findings/Display & Packaging catalog. It was the birthday every Rio copywriter dreams of!

My birthday card! I like martial arts. And editing.

Our bundle of joy!

A few months since its debut, the 2013 G&F/D&P catalog is now in the hot hands of Rio customers all across the globe. Of course, we’re proud of the little tyke (especially of the super sleek cover design created by Supply Manager Monica Foster and Designer Jude Dominique), and we hope it’s living up to your expectations.

So, is it? Leave us a comment and tell us what you think! You know how much we appreciate feedback from our customers, and feedback on the catalog is truly invaluable.

Haven’t gotten your catalog yet? You can request one online at riogrande.com or call us at 800-545-6566 and we’ll be happy to send a stork in your direction. (OK, it will more likely be a FedEx employee than a mythical bird.)

Thank You, Thank You.

While I do buy a lot of things on the net, I absolutely HATE to shop for things like findings, tools, supplies, etc on line. I would wager to bet that my order grows by at least 50% from it’s conception to submission. Using a hard copy catalog I, without fail, find a number of items I forgot I needed until I see them while browsing or I find something I just can’t live without. When I am forced go to one of your competitors I go to the item I’m looking for, place the order and leave.

I love your hard copy catalogs and have for more years than I care to think about. I know it is an electronic age but a on-line catalog is just not conducive to one of my favorite pass-times, browsing.
