a. Colored catalog printing - maybe before it would not make any difference if you print your material in black and white or colored. We used to think that what matters is the content of your paper not really on how it looks. Guess what? Not anymore. It does not work like that anymore in this generation. People are more attracted to vibrant colors. If it looks like an ordinary catalog with its black and white or dull colors, why bother reading it? People's perception of your product depends on how well you have thought through the concept and the way it is printed. Materials that have bold colors will more likely gain the attention of the prospective buyer and eventually lead them to buying the product you are offering.
b. Images - a balance of it will create an impression. Not too much and not too few. You may have gotten hold of some papers with all sentences on it and you may be thinking that it does not catch your interest at all because the paper is so filled with words. Consider that in order to get your customer's attention, you must have images that support your texts or words. Some customers may be visual, they want to see the product not just imagine how the product would look like in actual. Answer that dilemma by providing them with a material with a balance of texts and images.
c. Binding - would be customers would not want to look at pages that easily tears off. They would want to lay hands on those pages, turning back and forth as much as they like. Consider that some customers would want to think through and look at the image more than once before finally agreeing to buy it. Opt for keeping those pages bound without compromising style and comfort.
d. Inks - I have looked around and saw that there were so much new things, things that make us better and things that make other things better. That is innovation. Inks for one, have been one of those things that has changed a lot. Before, we can have colors printed ordinarily and that is all. Now, we have so many options to choose from. Consider your budget but it would be best to invest since the returns of customers appreciating it will be worth the spending. Options to consider are neon print, glow in the dark, embossed, and metallic. The list could go on, research on it and find out what you want.
Catalogs can be used effectively once you keep these suggestions for catalog printing in mind. Times could change things so fast, do not be the last to know the latest. Keep yourself updated by always studying your competitor, the market you are in and the customers you would want to get your message across to.
