Online catalogs are a flexible format that can appeal to multiple audiences. That's why they're such a successful tool to promote across social media. Whether it’s for those who regularly shop for deals and discounts, or those who want a spark of inspiration, your catalog is a recognizable format that keeps shoppers engaged.
