While online product catalogs are great for e-Commerce and/or online sales for brick-and-mortar stores, there are still advantages to printing physical product catalogs. In the current hyper-digital era, a physical piece that the customer can leaf through is a perfect complement to an online presence because: It can be kept and shared easily. By their nature, online catalogs require a stable internet connection and either a computer or mobile device to access. A physical piece can continuously remind the customer of the brand and its products without being online. They can be released several times a year and create anticipation and excitement for customers. For example, a print catalog ...

When dealing with different versions of the same catalog (for example, Canadian, US, and European versions with different pricing) working with multiple versions of the same files can get confusing.  Something might get updated in one or two of the three versions when it should be the same in all three etc. To avoid these issues, you can use InDesign and utilize the program's "layers" function. The "fixed" content (which is the same in all versions) will be on the bottom layer. The content specific to each version can be on different layers. Every layer can have the information specific to one of the regions. This way, there is only one master file to maintain. Edits will only need to be...

The elements of a good catalog can be broken down into Content, Structure, and Branding. Content contains the products that are included, but there's more than just that to consider. The purpose is to give the reader all the information they need to decide whether to make a purchase or not. Product photographs are usually an essential part of this decision-making process. The picture should not be poorly lit, low resolution, grainy, or not well composed. It should be clear which product is being featured. Otherwise, the customer may judge the product's quality by the picture's quality and choose to buy elsewhere. Professional product photos are well worth the investment. They can be used repeatedly...

The easiest way to get the page count up to where it needs to be is by adding the blank pages. However, this would be a wasted opportunity to add more valuable content to help the reader connect with the brand, company, or products. Instead, pages can be filled with information about the company, like a mission statement, company profile, or details about its core values like sustainability, fair trade, local sourcing, etc. Individual products can also be "profiled" to highlight features or attributes that align with the customer's values, for example, organic and cruelty-free skincare and cosmetics. Suppose some of the proceeds from a product or collection will benefit a cause or a charity. ...

The page count will depend on many factors. It can vary even between different issues of the same catalog. The winter version can be longer than the other three seasons to include more products for Christmas. Some things to consider when determining the best page count would be: The number of products to be included. The purpose of a particular issue of catalog. Is it supposed to showcase a new collection? Is it a quarterly catalog of the complete product offering, just updated to add new items and remove discontinued ones? Is it a "Look Book" style to give customers ideas and inspiration? How many products will be on each page? This also affects how much room is available for content ...

A ream is a paper-related term and means a specific quantity of the paper in question. When purchasing a blank paper, a ream is 500 sheets. However, other quantities can be specified (i.e. reams of 250, 100, etc.).
