Catalog Must-Haves
1. It should have a picture of your products. Illustrations can speak volumes. Shot from a certain angle and with the right lighting, products can be made to look heavenly. The presentation of products often can spell the difference between being purchased or not.
2. Describe the features of the products in a way that emphasizes its benefits for the customer. Your buyers are looking for one thing: their satisfaction. Quoting specifications can be useful as it lends you credibility and it allows your client to compare these quantitative measures with other products (or to brag about them). However, it also helps to simplify such descriptions or specs.
3. Add the possible accessories or items the customer can purchase with the product. Show upgradeable options, and how to customize their products. Niche markets crave for specialized products. By including upgrades and accessories to basic products, it creates an idea for upgrades and special service.
4. Highlight the unique selling points. Your product should have something the competition does not. Show the importance of this unique feature and why this is very important. It could be anything, 100% locally made, ecologically safe, longer battery life, etc.
5. Point to where your clients can get additional information – a website or a toll-free number. You may also encourage them to visit your store. Invite them to look at the different features themselves. Use the catalog as a guide for them to know what to look for, and to ask the sales person.
6. Include an order form. Make it easy for them to order. Or point them to the website where they can order online. Get them to be excited about your services, and get them to buy before their short attention span kicks in.
