3. Brand ambassadors • A company’s catalog can make or break a customer’s impression of the business. Along with the products, the customer is also taking in cues on the company messages and values. The print catalog gives a chance to imprint the brand on the customer through striking design layout and appearance. The catalog becomes the shop window where in one can impress the customers in their own homes before they are directed to the website or the brick and mortar store for completing the purchase. A catalog gives rise to customers who purchase more than once opposed to a buyer who purchases only once. • Accessible • Print catalogs can reach a wide set of people in the household itself by being in plain sight. An email directed at an individual limits the scope of the product catalog. However, a print catalog has the possibility of reaching out to people without internet connectivity. It can be shared easily with friends and family members thus making customer prospecting easy. It also gives a better product overview and makes it easy to look at.

4. Increased Spending and Repeat Purchase • The lifetime value of a catalog buyer is found to be more compared to other channels. This is because a web shopper will look at purchasing an item only where there is a need and complete the purchase by buying it at the most optimum price. But an order via a catalog inclines the customer to make repeat purchases. He is known to spend more money and return much more often compared to a web shopper. • Tangible • Despite the internet proliferation, people like to hold reading material in print. Dealing with print catalogs is almost passive where one need not sit in front of a system, type or search matter. It stays in the house for weeks, is portable and can be easily handled and picked up for a later day. Print helps in targeted distribution of the catalogs.
