According to the report telemarketing and e-mail produce the highest response for lead generation. Traffic building response generally runs 10.3% for catalogs and 7.83% for telemarketing.

Other findings indicate that catalogs typically perform better for order generation and fundraising in consumer markets than business-to-business markets.
