Posters Revisited!!

[tnsherrie]

Does anyone know if you can use Ingram only for their poster and marketing materials and if so what it runs a year? Tried to go to Waxworks website also and cannot get it to pull up for some reason. I use Rentrak for the bulk of my titles and Vpd for my catalog and special orders but I am missing the $500 min to be able to purchase posters every month. I havent received any posters from them since Jan because I am $20 or so short of my min. every month so I am looking into signing up on Ingrams marketing program if possible. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, you can.  Better yet, sign up for the VSDA Idea Membership.  Costs the same as Ingram's premium poster program, and you get the poster program included at no extra charge!

Here is the link: http://www.idealink.org/Resource.phx/public/homepage/about/join.htx

The real convenient thing is that you can sign up online with a credit card while Ingram requires that you mail in a check for their poster program.

Hi, Sherrie,
Concerning WW website not coming up, don't ask me why but I've had problems accessing their site or parts of it when I've used one browser over another. AOL won't work sometime, Yahoo will.
Go figure.

Thanks for the replys. I will check the link out for IDEA. Still cant pull Waxworks site up though no matter what I use.

If I sign up with IDEA will I get all the values they show from each distributor or do i have to use Ingram for my dvd distributor also to receive their poster package?

Thanks

Forgot to ask what's the difference between plan #1 ($199) & plan #2 ($100) as far as the posters, etc. you will receive from distributors?

If I understand it correctly you will need an account with the one offering the plan,  I chose both VPD and Ingram. 
I did that because one offered the looped trailer and one offered the coming soon magazine for the customers.

I was thinking the offer ended in April but I could be wrong.

Hi, thsherrie,

The three offers can be used by you, but for each that you use, you do have to be signed up as a customer of that particular entity [Rentrak, Ingram, VPD]

However, there are also tons of benefits that come from the iDEA Services agreement with NEBG, and that also includes the chance to receive the MMP [Marketing Promotion Pack] each month.

If you e-mail me at adrhik@gowebway.com, I can see if I can get a sample of that sent to you. I have very limited access to samples, but I will at least see what I can do.

You can also contact Jennifer Lane at IDEA at jlane@idealink.org.

I'll post some additional benefits below.

I'm curious if people resell their old posters and if so, for how much?
