But the truth is, they never really left. As for PIM software, the ecommerce SaaS has experienced a boom in the past decade that is only projected to grow further. Both offer many advantages for businesses, but how can you choose the best way to organize, create, and publish your customer-facing product content to maximize sales?<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>In this article, we present a thorough guide to customer-facing product content. Keep reading to know how to optimally deliver high-quality data and content that meets business needs while avoiding overhead costs and inefficiencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>PIM Software or Product Catalog: How to Manage Customer-facing Content<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes, managing product data can become chaotic. However, that doesn\u2019t mean it has to show up that way on the front end. Customer-facing content is what is most important since it speaks to the audience directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3>What is customer-facing product content?<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Customer-facing content provides all elements of a product. Attributes, descriptions, images, assets, and anything that the customer (or prospective customer) interacts with head-on. The content that shoppers will eventually use to drive their buying decisions is the result of the enrichment and enhancement of raw data.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, it only makes sense that companies must first research extensively their target audience. That intel can then inform their content. Everything from descriptions to titles, keywords to images must be tailored to the audience. The most effective content is that which is focused on the potential customer or end-user, not the brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>So what does it mean to focus the content on the customer? Because this content will land straight in their hands, it\u2019s important that the language represents the ideal customer.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>After all, customers will read the content to learn more about your products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it must embody the following aspects.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol><!-- wp:list-item --><\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li>The content must answer their questions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>It builds confidence in the item, as well as the customers\u2019 confidence in themselves to make an informed buying decision.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>The content should be actionable. In other words, it prompts frictionless conversions or sends customers to points of sale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Without these factors, content may lack strategy or value. A disconnection between the content and the customer can be undeniably evident. By making the customer the central core of the content, you can target the messaging accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>When drawing up your content strategy, no matter your mode of publishing or sharing, consider the following tips to guide you.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} --><\/p>\n<h4>Know your Audience\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>To reiterate this critical point, knowing your audience is the first step to customer-facing content. Complete knowledge of your target audience means compiling all descriptors of your average <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/how-to-be-buyer-centric\/\">ideal buyer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Ages, locations, other demographics, motivations, challenges, concerns, and analytics on behavioral patterns should all factor in. They all play a part in how likely a person is to buy from a brand. So naturally, they should offer inspiration for the context of the content.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Naming a product\u2019s features is relatively useless when trying to persuade a shopper. Only when you point to specific uses or speak to the ideal buyer\u2019s motivation or problem they want to solve does it begin to click. In some cases, you might point out a hidden benefit they never considered.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} --><\/p>\n<h4>Understand Buyer Journey<\/h4>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Alongside your customer profile, mapping the journey of the eventual buyer across your channels helps further improve your content. No matter where your content is published, it requires in-depth research of key points down the sales funnel. When you know from where customers come and on which pages or content pieces they are sold, you can meet them halfway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Understanding the buyer journey helps makes content contextual on another level. It increases organic traffic when you can pinpoint entry points of high potential. Then, you can devise that content accordingly. Making content relevant to the audience at every point of the journey is critical for a comprehensive customer-facing content strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} --><\/p>\n<h4>Focus Your Messaging<\/h4>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about brand messaging. It\u2019s critical that all content on any platform conveys a strong, sound brand presence. However, it\u2019s easy to confuse brand messaging with trying to convey the fine points of the brand and its items. However, customer-facing content must serve the audience the potential value of the item.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>A better strategy is to maintain balance. Keeping customer-centric messaging level with that of the brand is key. The customer should always be front-of-mind. Ensure that all content, copy, descriptions, and specifications relating to them in some way. Always pain product information with its relevant use or clear advantage to the end-user.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>As a result, this keeps the messaging focused. Every sentence has a purpose. This is the content for which people search.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Of course, these tips simply create the overarching theme or <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/pim-brand-message\/\">brand message<\/a> for the body of your content. But of course, when it comes to the fundamental ingredients &#8211; product data &#8211; there must be a system of organization that allows you to easily use it to author content.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The additional management of assets critical to the product experience is also important to consolidate. This brings into question how to most optimally manage product content from infancy to completion and publication.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3>How to Best Share Customer-facing Product Content<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Of the variety of ways of marketing and sharing information, it\u2019s all goes back to how a business manages its product database. To that end, businesses can either <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/\">PIM solution<\/a> or product catalog.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important that, whether you use <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/product-information-management-system\">product information management software<\/a> or product catalog, your customer-facing content is well equipped to meet customers where they are. The question remains, with which tool can you best do that? PIM software or catalog? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>PIM Software or Product Catalog: How to Choose the Best Way of Publishing<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>EIther PIM software or product catalog are excellent avenues for delivering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/23325\/customer-facing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/23325\/customer-facing\">customer-facing content<\/a>. PIM manages product data and content enrichment by way of a multifunctional database. Product catalogs are age-old means of delivering content to drive sales, originally through print and now online or digitally. Both carry much weight in terms of their success and influence on customer decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re on the fence about which one does the better job or meets your business needs better, here\u2019s an in-depth view of each other.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3>What is a product catalog?<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>A product <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/catalog-marketing-66814.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/catalog-marketing-66814.html\">catalog<\/a> is a type of marketing material that, traditionally print, doubles both as a database of sorts for the business as well as customer-facing collateral.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>A catalog is a way for businesses to gather their items together in one place. For many, it doubles as an organizational method, as a database for operational purposes. Of course, it also doubles as marketing collateral, providing an excellent vehicle for customer-facing content.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Product catalogs come in a variety of forms. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/customized-pdf-catalogs\/\">PDFs<\/a>, interactive <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/digital-catalogs\/\">digital catalogs<\/a>, flipbooks, and online catalog websites with shopping cart functionality. Catalogs are incredibly flexible, allowing businesses to use them for a variety of uses. They\u2019re great for larger, B2B suppliers or manufacturers who need to continually update or add to their offerings.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3>The Purpose of Product Catalog<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>At a glance, catalogs deliver information that customers must see. A catalog\u2019s function can be condensed to these three uses.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol><!-- wp:list-item --><\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li>Reference material<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Attracts audience<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Brand identity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Products catalogs can become reference books, an encyclopedia (depending on the number of items) that businesses can turn to for quick information. For example, sales teams have catalogs at their disposable to find the right content swiftly. Marketers use it through demos; partners, resellers, vendors use the catalog to get and share details. On top of that, they help businesses develop new items or marketing strategies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The most common reason businesses use catalogs, be it online or print is to attract new customers. Print catalogs have traditionally come with mail-order forms so customers can buy products directly. Today, the ability to access the online store after engaging with a catalog makes the sales process more seamless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>A well-designed catalog hones in on brand identity. Unless a store website or online listings, product catalogs tap into effective design and branding elements to create a compelling experience.
