NY Auction House

This firm was founded in 1941 as an auction house
specializing in Rare Books. Today it is the largest
rare-book Auctioneer in the world with 14 auctions
annually. Their business has expanded to
encompass the Visual Arts. The Auctioneer has
an exceptional reputation for its knowledge,
service, and ability to attract reputable buyers
and sellers.

Background: This client required the production of
a monthly catalog averaging 200 pages in length.
Using conventional photography for up to 300
product shots per week resulted in photography
costs of thousands of dollars per month.

Solution: Cosmos set up an on-site digital
imaging studio to reduce photography costs,
slash approval and workflow process time, and
increase the number of catalogs produced each
month. For additional savings, the same images
are re-purposed for Website use. Furthermore,
valuable artwork is kept on client’s premises
eliminating damage and security concerns.

Savings/ROI:
Annual imaging costs reduced by 40%
Number of color images in each catalog increased
Catalog output doubled, resulting in more timely presentation of merchandise to purchasers, greater inventory turn, and overall growth in revenue
