Donna L. Hoffman, professor of marketing at Vanderbilt University said that customers who shopped using a particular retailer's stores, catalogs and Web site spent 15 percent more with that company than those who shopped through just one of those three components. Catalogers have struggled to maintain costs amid rising postage and printing costs in the past year, she said.
