WESCO Distribution, Inc.
WESCO first contracted with JP Enterprises in late 1998 to produce a
new data communications catalog. Using
database-driven publishing to store linked product
information, text, and images, JP created a
160-page, full-color catalog, providing not only the
traditional design, layout, photography, and copy
writing services, but also developing and populating
the database, paginating the catalog and contacting
WESCO's suppliers to obtain product photos or
samples and literature. JP recently updated and
expanded the WESCO Data Comm catalog to 200 pages.
Between the publication of the two catalogs and
since, JP has designed and produced numerous support
pieces for WESCO, including brochures, mailers,
training materials, and a 700-page electrical
catalog in 2004.When WESCO announced its IPO, JP was contracted
to provide digital photography for products for the
company's website. The project involved
photographing 3000 images in a 2-month time period
and required setting up a digital photography studio
on-site in one of WESCO's distribution centers.
In 2004, JP Enterprises designed and produced a
120-page lighting catalog for WESCO. JP obtained
product information from WESCO and from WESCO's
suppliers and edited, formatted, and paginated the
information into an appropriate presentation for the
catalog. Since completing the lighting catalog, JP
has begun work on a 200-page MRO supplies catalog
for WESCO.
One of the reasons we like working with JP is
that their people have experience and expertise in
the design of catalogs and other marketing pieces
specifically for the data communications industry.
Another reason is that JP is truly an extension of
our company's staff. We work extremely closely with
them, not just in design and production, but on the
front end in the planning of a project. They help us
to develop the timelines, to determine what we need
to do and how we can do it, and to manage the
projects. They're definitely not 'just another
design firm.
