NEW YORK -- January 20, 2005 -- As TrendWatch Graphic Arts gears up for its exciting 2005 Special Report schedule, offering reports detailing the latest data and supported by many new, specially tailored questions to get at the heart of today's most pressing industry issues, it is discounting its Q1-Q3 Special Reports from 2004. In August of 2004, after TWGA conducted internal price reductions and streamlined all workflows, the market research firm was able to re-price its reports and offer them to their customers at a lower price point while still maintaining the same quality research. Instead of the standard $1,295 per report, the pricing was reduced to $995 per report. Now in an effort to continue to provide the industry with quality research at a fair price, their 2004 reports have been lowered from TWGA's new standard pricing of $995 to a special discounted pricing of $795. This offer is being extended to one dozen TWGA Special Reports, including its best-selling stock image reports, and eight excerpts from its groundbreaking Media Requirements Study. TWGA Quote...
