The buying power of MSE is a major force; one of the most potent in the industry.
Suppliers
MSE have accounts in place with all major and minor entertainment studios in the UK. Their buying operation straddles all suppliers, from all the largest film studios through to the smallest indie record labels. If MSE don’t have an account with a studio or label and there’s a demand for their product, they open one. As new studios and labels emerge or existing ones evolve, MSE instigate relationships and develop secure contacts. Above all, the relationships they sustain with their suppliers are essential.
MSE have major credit limits with the studios, and can therefore supply their customers with any volume they require. They’re able to supply all their customers, large and small, with the titles they want, in the quantities they need, at competitive prices, and in a timely manner.
Range
MSE’s catalogue currently comprises over 300,000 titles, a number that’s growing all the time. MSE have in excess of 40,000 active titles in stock at any time, and they also maintain high stock levels of new releases and campaign titles.
MSE’s core range is one of the best in the business. MSE are very active in securing promotional deals and usually carry over 20,000 DVD and Blu-ray titles on promotion in any one quarter. However, MSE’s main strength is the extensive back catalogue range.
