The editorial design of the catalog will help you frame your marketing message in a more persuasive and interesting way.
1. Set up your data for automation
To help you be more efficient and save time you can automate some processes for your catalog.
Start by preparing your datasheet for automation, which should include essential product information or any other data you wish to automate. You can begin with our template.
Next, go to the Automation section, click Import, and upload your prepared feed. Once your feed is uploaded, go to My Flipbooks. Here, you can either create a catalog from scratch or upload a PDF, and then drag and drop the information onto the page as needed.
Alternatively, you can use the Product Catalog Generator, which automatically creates a product catalog using the data from your spreadsheet. This generated catalog will be formatted with a predefined layout. You can find the Product Catalog Generator under the Create button in My Flipbooks.
2. Add shopping areas and buttonsIt’s vital to have links to your online shop inside the catalog. After the upload, you should go to our Design Studio and add Buy buttons for all products advertised in your catalog, or add a hyperlinked area over products or product tags to inform your customer better.
Shopping buttons can be easily added by going to Interaction, at the Shop section you can choose the Shopping area or Shopping button, or Product tags.
Or scrolling down, you will see the Other section, where you can choose from the options there.
In the presented case below, we have added a Buy this item button.
Personalize your buttons by changing the background, opacity, and roundness of the corners, adding your URL, and changing the tooltip.
After you are done adding links, please check if they are all functional, by clicking the Preview button in the right corner.
3. Customize the order options
Customize order and email settings to reflect your brand and enhance the customer experience, or enable checkout methods like WhatsApp or Slack. You can also brand your orders by adding your logo, setting a button label, and choosing to enable or disable PDF or CSV download.
Plus, we recommend sharing your catalogs on social media, to attract more views and customers.
