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.

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.

6.	Four color is the best choice. A catalog printed in four color is more compelling than the two color print. Four color printed catalog is more effective when it comes catching the eye of prospects. As a result, you're able to produce more sales.
