Marketing technical products(product catalogs and online shops)


Marketing technical products using product catalogs, product brochures and online shops places four main requirements on companies regarding conception and preparation:

  • Time to market: A good international distribution structure, a sophisticated target group specification and an innovative multi-channel concept cannot totally unfold their sales effect if the current catalogs are not printed promptly and the data in the online shop is out of date.
  • Translation of technical data in customer value: Technical products need to be explained. Therefore, the product catalog and online shop must sell customer value in understandable terms in addition to current technical data and emotions.
  • Individualization: The specific organization of the print and online marketing channels for individual buyer demands continually increases. This applies to markets, countries, target groups and ranges all the way up to an individual sales pitch. Product catalogs and online shops must support this objective – at best they should be linked together well – but in doing so must remain manageable and feasible in preparation.
  • Cost efficiency: Short product lifecycles, a large number of variants, many languages, markets and target groups increase price pressure, especially on the product communication. It is essential to get this challenge under control.
