Is the investment in Catalog Design still worth it?

Is the investment in Catalog Design and Printing still worth it? After all, digital sales are at an all-time high and printing can be expensive. So why do it?

Including the design and distribution of a printed catalog in your marketing mix is a good idea because catalogs increase the lifetime value of a client, as many customers use catalogs to jump-start their purchasing process but also visualize how different items supplement each other. This tangibly influences purchasing decisions and increase average sale values.

Moreover, printed catalogs can be exquisitely alluring from a visual standpoint. For many consumers, they represent an irresistible invitation to take a peek at what they might be missing. That is probably a reason why printed catalogs tend to linger in customer’s homes much longer than digital marketing efforts.

Catalogs also help customers visualize how a product can be used. Using evocative imagery and persuasive copy in this medium provides a vivid and more tangible shopping experience.

It’s no wonder companies such as IKEA, Nordstrom, Patagonia, Crate and Barrel, and even enterprizes in the travel sector invest heavily in the distribution of printed service and product catalogs every year.

Even online retailers like Wayfair and Amazon are now printing product catalogs to supplement their digital marketing efforts.

Based on research by the Harvard Business Review, ROI, average sale, response rates, and profits all received considerable boosts when printed catalogs were used to supplement digital marketing efforts.

The team at FWC can help you create a catalog that will serve as a way to connect with customers in an evocative, emotional way, influencing their buying behavior and having a strong impact on your bottom line.
