Defender needs both a catalog and a website. 
In Response To: Survey -- who wants paper catalogs? ()
Hey Larry,
If most people are like me, they browse the catalog and buy online.
I think it would be a huge business blunder to drop the catalog. Defender is successful and obviously doing something right that plenty of other retailers are not and should stay the course.
