On the marketing side, Word will be hard pressed to match the success of the Sony/Take ‘Em With You campaign. Last year’s fall campaign orders were in the $800-$900,000 range just for cassettes. The spring campaign did almost as well.

In the meantime, “Take ‘Em With You Six” has begun in the 1,200 permanent display racks around the country. This year’s campaign gives buyers of any two Word cassettes or a CD sampler of current Word product. The rack, incidentally, won last year’s “Popeye” award for point-of-purchase marketing design.
