Online Catalog Design Suggestions

If you are new to the steps needed to design your catalog, don’t fear because we are here to help. First, come up with a concept. Look around…Are you offering a new product or service that sets you apart from your competition? If so…use it as your building block. Choose a color scheme that best represents you or your industry. Then decide the layout of your catalog. Consider grouping your products into categories, and section your catalog appropriately. Be sure to use quality photographs or graphics, as this will add credibility. Create a positive viewing experience by formatting your product line in such a way that it makes sense to the eye. Don’t place too much information on any one given page, as this becomes overwhelming to the viewer. Your customer wants to know how your products or services will benefit them. Therefore it is important that you are informative and to the point. No one really pays attention to flowery copy. Your contact information should be shown throughout your catalog. This will make contacting you easy. Use the cover of your catalog as a tool to entice your customer into opening and buying from you. Also consider placing a photo, graphic or tag line to your envelope. These two methods will help you increase your open rate.

Marketing Suggestions

Consistency throughout the catalog, whether it be; layout, design, color or information, is needed to represent yourself as a professional, reliable and credible vendor. Think outside the box when marketing your catalog. Keep catalog costs down by printing a brochure or postcard. These items can be mailed to prospective customers, or those who haven’t purchased from you in a while. Promote your contact information for catalog requests. Offer a discount or promotion to entice them to buy.

When marketing a large catalog, consider adding sticker flags to the catalog. This will allow customers to tag items they are interested in. Include a business card, sell sheet, postcard, book mark or door hanger to your catalog. These items may remind them of you in the future. Your catalog can also be used to supplement your next marketing presentation.
