In this case, you can put a product in the catalog that will best catch the attention of the customers.

2. Clear and simple typeface should be used. The catalog should be easy to read and easy to understand. It should immediately get your word out at first glance. But there are also some instances wherein some selling point s of the catalog should be in bolder or bigger typeface.

3. Create an order form for the catalog. It's very advantageous that the catalog you make has an order form with it. Why is it advantageous?

It should eliminate the monotony of your catalog design. It's vital that you know how to make your customers pause and see your catalog.

5. Go for the standard form of catalog. It's more cost effective to make catalogs in standard format rather than in special forms. But it's undeniable that sometimes an out-of-the-ordinary catalog can easily get the interest of customers.
