Creativity in Catalog Design
You don't need a masters degree in arts or English to create a
catalog that attracts attention and grabs customers for you.
This is because drawing prospects will mostly depend on the
impression that you will create in the first few seconds that a
reader will take hold of your catalog. Your logo, packaging
style, color choices and printing quality should work together
to help you succeed. Understand that your business image is
priceless but the design and printing process does not have to
be costly.
These days, catalog design has gone a long way - from the usual
product information catalogs to these days' unusual catalogs
with bizarre color and typography to make them look different
and attractive. But different and attractive catalogs don't
really mean greater sales. Being unique can help you though to
stand out among other catalogs in today's ever crowded
mailboxes, but your catalog will not make the sale for you. You
have to do the deal yourself. So before you get on with your
creative style in creating your catalog, make sure that you,
your designers and your printer know the rules in producing
catalogs that sell. Your graphic designer and printer can help
you save money if they know about printing presses and
techniques and the fine touches needed to make your marketing
material successful.
As a technique to make your readers interested in your catalog,
you can put your best selling or unique products in the upper
right corner of every page of your catalog. Doing so, you can
encourage your reader to read through the entire catalog. You
can also add order forms in your catalog that can be easily
fill-up and mailed. Although few customers use order forms to
mail orders, businesses and customers alike use them to organize
their orders before calling or ordering online.
And of course, four-color catalogs look better and perform
better than one-color or two-color catalogs. But oftentimes, the
sales do not justify the cost of four-color printing. So you
might want to try other printing options that can still help set
your catalog apart from your competitors. And keep in mind that
no matter how much information you put in your catalog, it has
to be legible and simple. Use headlines that quickly communicate
your message to the readers. Nonetheless, there are words in the
catalog that need to be presented in bolder or larger fonts. Do
present them in a distinct type that will make them stand out.
And when it is time to create a new image for your business,
make sure that you still hire designers and printers that can
create a credible image for your company and your products or
services.
