best in the market. You tune your production procedures and processes to create products that buyers will love. Unfortunately, quality is not always the final determinant of how much of the product you&#8217;ll sell.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides manufacturing, you must find a way to get customers to see and purchase the products. For a long time, brands have used catalogs to showcase their offerings. The catalogs were designed to persuade readers to find and buy the products.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product catalogs bring in new customers and keep the existing ones. However, their effectiveness is dulled when the management strategy is built on legacy systems. Catalog management for manufacturers founded on legacy systems depends on highly manual processes and a slow turn-around when updating catalogs. Those who lose the battle against the chaos that arises from these limitations suffer irreparable damage to the brand.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"has-text\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, manufacturers can streamline product catalog management using product information management (PIM) tools.

To illustrate the meaning of a product catalog, consider automotive sales. Automakers build showrooms to showcase vehicles. Potential buyers can walk in and inspect the cars from all angles and acquaint themselves with crucial details like horsepower, engine capacity, body type, etc.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, a product catalog is a showroom (digital for digital catalogs and physical for printed catalogs) for a manufacturer&#8217;s products. They allow brands to display product imagery, their attributes, technical specifications, and associated information.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you are an industrial equipment manufacturer, the catalogs include various categories, such as power tools, safety equipment, and machinery. Each category would contain a list of products with detailed descriptions, technical specifications, high-quality images, and pricing information.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-288fd8f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"288fd8f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"toc2\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Components of product catalogs<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-673f44ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"673f44ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve already seen examples of information you can incorporate in product catalogs.

This tells you that printed catalogs had centuries to entrench themselves into society, which explains why this catalog type has been a popular choice for manufacturers to showcase their products.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understandably, digital catalogs have overtaken print for the obvious reason that more people consume online content.

This adds to the convenience buyers crave.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For businesses, digital catalogs are easy to update \u2013 it doesn&#8217;t require reprinting and re-circulating the copies to customers.

Some of the reasons include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tactile experience:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Customers can physically interact with the catalog, flipping through pages and marking their preferred products.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Prestige and branding:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> High-quality printed catalogs convey a sense of professionalism and established expertise for manufacturers.

To define an e-commerce PIM, think of it as a specialized PIM software targeted at businesses that operate online shops. These companies must hit two birds with one stone: on the one hand, they must provide enriched and up-to-date product information, and on the other hand, they must share high-quality, rich media to attract as many eyeballs as possible.

Imagine you just printed a catalog last month and sent it to customers. However, a last-minute change in the technical specifications necessitated an update.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you mail the catalog monthly, you must wait until the next round to reflect the changes. Although trivial, this change may be the genesis of many issues for your catalog marketing strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you&#8217;ll have to track (manually) the channels you shared the catalog: print and digital. Secondly, especially for print catalogs, you&#8217;ll have to engage designers (and incur an ad-hoc expense) to capture the changes and then reprint. For digital catalogs, you&#8217;ll have to hunt down each channel to make the changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None of these challenges arise when using PIM software as the backend for generating catalogs. You just make the changes once in the centralized repository and syndicate them to channels. Some PIM solutions shine more in this area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Catsy&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/\">PIM DAM solutions<\/a> offers a digital catalog feature that taps into the data repository to create catalogs on the fly. Even better, brands can embed the feature into their websites so that any changes made and approved inside the&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/product-information-management-system\" target=\"_blank\">PIM system<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;are automatically reflected on the product pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Catsy PIM can autogenerate PDFs of product data. Think of this as a way to create print catalogs, which you can print and mail or share via a branded URL. The best part is that these catalogs (the ones shared via branded URLs) are interactive. Customers can interact with the products like they would on a live website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See our&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/shopify-dam-pim-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shopify PIM<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;in action and take benefits of our <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/\">PIM and DAM integration<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b598ced elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b598ced\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

Most robust solutions, like Catsy\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PIM and DAM systems<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, have APIs to connect to e-commerce platforms like Shopify and BigCommerce.
