The range of products offered by ROQA’s archive has evolved from slowly changing market requirements: whereas up to now we have developed editorial materials exclusively for the relevant language markets, the demand for exclusiveness has disappeared in several publishing companies. This has noticeably reduced the costs of sourcing contents.
Virtual Exclusiveness
In order that the publishing companies who want access to non-exclusive products do not need to worry about coming across the same contents upon opening competitors’ products, ROQA has developed three solutions:
Duplicates: i.e. from almost each of the available archive titles there are five versions. This ensures that publishing company A will not automatically receive the same games as publishing company B, even though both order “111 Picture Puzzles”.
Mix: i.e. together with the non-exclusive CDs, there are also exclusive offers for the relevant language markets.
Bulk: i.e. the sheer bulk of individual puzzles that are available guarantees virtual exclusiveness, because, for instance, “333 Dice Games” (x 5 – see above) pretty much ensures that no parallel release can occur.
An Archive for Decades – free
The large quantity of puzzles on each CD makes it abundantly clear that this offer does not just meet the concrete need for individual titles, but is aimed at publishing companies that wish to build up or extend their own archives. The real implication of this is: a one-off investment for decades of free contents. The advantage this gives over competitors, who always have to order smaller, more expensive amounts, does not need to be enlarged upon.
Expansion – Effortless
While the service provider, ROQA, for instance in Great Britain, is already the largest producer of printable puzzle books, many other publishing companies wish to expand into Europe. Most fail already at the apparently simple hurdle of sourcing puzzle material. Thanks to more than 10-years experience in Europe, we can provide not only high quality puzzles, but also accompanying texts in most European languages. Thus every title can be ordered in practically any language you require - whether it be English, French, Greek or Dutch.

MAGIQ CHARACTERS
For a long time these were common, and there are still service providers that offer such things: books or magazines containing absolutely normal adult puzzles, that are converted to children’s activity books merely by adding the word “children” to the cover and a few ClipArt pictures. With our children’s puzzles (see above) this is no longer necessary. One only really wins children’s hearts when one speaks to them emotionally, for instance, through accompanying the text with commentarial figures. MAGIQ CHARACTERS provides 111 hand-drawn characters on one CD – each as a CMYK jpg, in greyscale and the majority also in black and white.
The CD costs 598€, which equates to a price per drawing of 5.39€. MAGIQ CHARACTERS is an upgrade that can only be ordered when a total volume of 3,000€ has been reached. After our introductory offer expires on 15th January 2008, the cost of MAGIQ CHARACTERS will increase to 898€.

Where the texts are not included within a speech bubble, they are delivered in a separate text file in order to improve the print quality. More…
