  14. @y2knonsense Yes. Returns make us sad. Unsold Xmas 08 DVDs were still being returned to us in Sept/Oct 09! When can we cash the check?
  15. Getting 5k in DVD returns this wk from national retailer client. If it's not selling- they're returning. LONG TERM marketing is KEY!

  20. Year to date DVD releases 11,503. Documentaries & Special Interest titles total 3642 per DVDreleasereport.
