Catalog Design Suggestions offered for Success

A catalog is the marketing piece that is going to launch your products or services into the realm of success. The sole purpose of this tool is to make the audience aware of the products or services being offered. In order to do so, you must attract their attention. First consider your target market. Make sure that the message you are sending speaks to the customer. Differentiate your catalog from previous catalogs and your competition. Use a cover graphic that best depicts your message or choose feature products from your product line. Keep your catalog relevant to the times. Consider a welcome message on the inside front cover. This message can be used to promote your company core beliefs. The layout of your catalog needs to be consistent throughout. When differentiating product lines use a page, similar to a chapter page, to featuring a graphic and copy that best describe the section the user is about to enter. Don’t forget to include your company website and a 1-800 phone number consistently throughout your catalog. A perforated order form and or sizing chart can be added to either the center or back of your catalog for easy ordering. Use eye-catching graphic icons to promote sale and new items throughout your catalog. Sale products can be featured in multiple sections.

Catalog Marketing Suggestions

When the catalog printing process is complete, the typical method for marketing catalogs is through the mail. Don’t forget that catalogs can be displayed at your place of business, at trade shows, given away during a presentation, and are increasingly placed on the web. Even though more and more people are turning to the web, they also like to refer to the printed catalog when deciding upon a purchase. Catalogs can be used to promote company or industry information, product or service information and to feature sales or new products.
