ing on the series, says Tenn, Best will launch a Great Body Hawaiian Sweepstakes during the first quar- ter. The grand prize in the contest, open to any employee at the distribu- tion /wholesale /retail level, will be a week at the new Westin Kauai in Ha- waii. A consumer sweepstakes is also in the offing. According to Tenn, Best added How two boys worlds apart about 65 titles in 1988, bringing the entire catalog for the 7- year-old com- become the of friends. pany to about 160 titles, most cen- best tered on high -quality nontheatrical sell -through fare. One significant series for the com- pany has been the Rand McNally Vid- eo Trips, a multivolume set that is now up to 18 titles at $19.99 each, says Tenn. Four recent entries in- clude "Yellowstone National Park," "Glacier National Park," "Grand Te- ton National Park," and "Rio de Ja- neiro." The company plans to issue at least two travel titles a year. Among other topical special-inter- est titles slated for 1989 are a base- ball- card -collector's cassette narrated by legendary New York Yankee an- nouncer Mel Allen; a video game cas- sette, which could mushroom into a continuing series; and a golf tape keyed to seniors. During 1988, says Tenn, the com- pany concentrated on strengthening and fine- tuning its distribution in var- ious industry segments, with particu- lar focus on the mass market, rack jobbers, alternative outlets, and tradi- tional video distribution. Tenn says the mass merchants and direct accounts constitute a large por- tion of Best's strength, while the company's direct -response business is about 10% of sales. Also significant now, he says, is specialty distribution to such outlets as luggage and sport- ing stores and a host of other nontra- ditional retail channels. JIM McCULLAUGH

The Industry Gathers in Las Vegas for Its First Major Glimpse of the Dawn of the '90s, and Finds a Future Fired to High Expectations by an Onrush of New Products and Enhancements Lighting the Way to Even Brighter Electronic Tomorrows

By JIM McCULLAUGH

The staggering boom -boom years of the consumer elec- tronics business may have tapered off somewhat but the entertainment hardware /software industry contin- ues to represent one of the most exciting product and con- ceptual landscapes on the planet. As evidenced by the developments of recent years, audio and video have become an exhilarating Toffler -esque play of miniature circuitry, lasers, fiber optics and sharper im- ages-all to the benefit of hardware makers, software ven- dors and consumers.

Growth, says the EIA, can be attributed to the wider as- sortment of consumer electronics products as dollar sales are increasing due to both the addition of new products as well as the enhanced features on established products. One locomotive driving the industry has been the video area as sales increases are expected to continue in color, projection and LCD television. Dollar sales of color TV with MTS are forecasted to in- crease approximately 17% annually through 1989, repre- senting almost half of the total dollar color TV sales during this period. In fact, unit sales of MTS color TV were project - (Continued on page C -10)

"This will be an epic year for opti- cal product," speculates Wallace. As more and more manufacturers like Denon and Yamaha enter the combi -player market, the visibility of audio /video optical product will significantly increase in the eyes of the consumer, resulting in more hardware and software sales." Philips, says Wallace, is expected to also join the combi -player arena during the first quarter of 1989. "We encourage this competition," he says. "lt adds the needed legiti- macy to the product and tells con- sumers that we're heavily commit- ted to the format." While home units will continue strong sales, compact disk players for the car are expected to do land- mark business as manufacturers are banking on consumers wanting the same high quality playback on the road as well as at home. Pio- neer made headlines in May with its announcement of the "Carroz- zeria"-a 15 -unit audio /video set for the car that includes a compact disk player in addition to a built -in AM /FM tuner and 6 -inch color tele- vision monitor. While the complete export ver- sion will retail for $3,600, Pioneer officials say that the compact disk player will be available as a stand- alone unit for automobiles at a sug- gested list of $798. "The sales of vinyl records are obviously declining," says Pio- neer's director of marketing, Mike Fidler. "lt only makes sense that customers are going to want conti- nuity in their ability to play back their favorite albums." That "conti- nuity," according to Fidler, is going to be based on compact disks in the future which, concurrently with the analog audio cassette, is draw- ing consumers away from the in- creasingly antiquated LP vinyl rec- ord. A spokesman for CBS Sony Group in Tokyo says that company is continuing to phase out the vinyl record and placing its sales focus on compact disks -even to the point of buying back a retailer's vi- nyl inventory and replacing it with $2 REBATE $2 REBATE $4 REBATE $4 REBATE the exact same titles in compact MODEL OCD -30 MODEL OC -60 MODEL OCD -90 MODEL OCD -120 disk. While the company is not expect- ed to dump the vinyl format entire- ly, the major sales push will be to- ward the optical audio technology, according to the spokesman.

"We did most of the advertising ourselves, and we always tried new things. We stayed open late. We gave away popcorn and soda. We even gave away free rentals on Mother's Day." Kilsey also credits the timing - entering the market just as VCR household penetration started soaring. "We threw a monkey wrench into the membership fee. We were charging only $12 when everybody else was charging $50 or $100. That and the fact that we were renting movies for $3 for two nights were unique." Ideas picked up out West also helped.
