7 steps for building a product catalog or product brochure that sells



Step 1. Organize content and products
  • Understand both your products and the target audience.
  • Realize where top sellers, discounts and deals need to be featured and how your products need to be grouped.
  • Good product grouping, or product layout will maximize results.
  • Consider including an order from, introduction, CEO’s message, editor’s notes, guides or contents page for ease of navigation.
Step 2. Write copy and prepare images
  • Write with the core product benefit in mind for your reader, building the other information around the core benefit.
  • Solving the problem or meeting the desire of the customer is often more important than how a product works, who made it, and how well it sells.
  • Ensure a product’s value, and value to the buyer is detailed alongside the benefits and any relevant exclusivity.
  • A beautiful image is “worth a thousand words” and it is true. Great product photography can make or break sales. Poor quality will vastly diminish the product’s value.
  • Keep product descriptions well written but short. Maybe 50-150 words, focus on the main selling point but utilise features and benefits as much as how it works.
Step 3. Lay Out Pages
  • Bestselling and high profit generating products should receive prime position and the most space allocation.
  • Balance images and text throughout for the right mix of information and engagement.
  • Only group products which are similar or related. Grouped items which are not related don’t work well.
  • Maximise opportunities to cross sell, placing companion products together on a page can increase sales 5-15%.
  • Upselling is an effective way of increasing order value and sales.
Step 4. Design
  • Keep your catalog focused on the products, an overly detailed design could detract the reader from their purpose.
  • Make sure design, image and copy are product oriented, clear and concise.
  • Establish a design or template that you will use throughout, changing only for the eye catching bestselling, feature or surprise pages, then reverting to the familiar flow.
  • Keep colours, typography, font and layout styles consistent and ensure your brand is prominent and well used throughout.
Step 5. Market
  • Try testimonials, guarantees and assurances, company history or CEO’s message.
  • Include visible mark down of product prices, featured products, bestsellers, deals and discounts.
  • Market your products with the goal of selling them, good, concise descriptions, answering any objections and showcasing your goods.
  • Link to more detailed descriptions on your website, channelling customers to where they can quickly buy there.
Step 6. Distribute, Share and Promote
  • Use any digital channel you can access: email, website, social networks.
  • Target your specific audience through savvy social media marketing application for maximum return.
  • Make sure you cross sell by promoting your website alongside your catalog and your catalog on your website.
  • Try email marketing of a digital product catalog is a practical way to engage passive or previous customers with your entire product lineup.
Step 7. Test and Improve
  • Digital catalog creation software can be accompanied by precise analytics, often powered by or compatible with Google Analytics.
  • Data mining the results can help to understand traffic sources and patterns, visitors and their behavior.
  • A/B split testing of catalog versions (small variations of the same base catalog presented to similar visitors) helps to select winning combination of elements and products for the best performing catalog.
  • Analysis, experiments, then recommendations, can help to improve an online catalog quickly and with much return. Unlike print catalogs, a digital or online catalog can be constantly improved with little additional cost.
