Many people only think they are doing custom
catalog printing. In reality they are just doing what most other people
are doing, using templates and boring pre-made layouts.
That is why when you look at most catalog printing today, most look the
same with only a few differences in color and layout. For a truly
customized catalog, you have to do it yourself. You have to be original
and create all the elements of color catalogs in accordance with your
own preferences.
In this guide, I will tell you how to create one all your own.
• Your own name – The first thing that your catalog needs to be truly
customized is its own name. Do not name it exactly like your company or
store. It has to have its own name and its own identity that is related
to the theme of your company. This ensures the individuality of your
catalog that should help people realize its originality. The more
unique your color catalog looks like, the more curious people will be
about it.
• Your own logo – Your color catalogs should also have its own special
logo that is related to your company. While of course, the company logo
is perfectly welcome in most catalog printing, having a unique logo or
name print, can really make it into its own medium. Using the custom
name described above, you can pretty much design a special logo for
your catalog. You can make it as distinctive as the "name-logo" of
Vogue or Playboy if you can.
• Your own language – You should also have your catalog speak its own
unique language. Do not just describe and dictate information like a
textbook at people. It must exude the lifestyle that it promotes
through your products. So make sure that all the descriptions are
appropriate for the audience who should read it. For example, techie
ones should be quite geeky when possible, while luxury ones must exude
that sense of elegance that rich audiences are used to. Doing this
makes the catalog uniquely part of the society that reads it, giving it
its identity and its own voice.
• Your own design style – Another big reminder for customization is the
design. The design style must be your own for your color catalogs to be
truly original. That means scrapping the use of templates and themes
and doing everything you need from scratch. This makes your designs
truly your own style, something that people should identify easily
among the rest.
That is how you can truly customize your catalogs. The more you
customize the more unique your they should be, and as long as you are
distinct among the rest, you should have a great advantage in business.
Good Luck!
