A print catalog is still the most-important promotional tool in an aftermarket company's toolbox! Good Communications' clients who track the sources of customer contacts will verify that when a sale is made, a printed catalog, brochure or flyer almost always figures prominently in that purchasing decision.

This is particularly true of a first-time sale. Attracting the new customer's attention with print or online advertising is the easy part; after that initial phone or e-mail inquiry, how do you set yourself above your competitors (who might be buying larger ads, in more places)? Persuading a person unfamiliar with your products to actually break out a credit card — later, if not sooner — is the true test of any marketing campaign. The company that promptly follows up a sales call with quality printed material is more likely to get the sale. In the entire "chain" of impressions that ultimately turns a prospect into a customer — including paid advertising, a press release, an editorial mention, a race-track display, a contingency program, your Website, etc. — no other component delivers more bang for the buck.

The ultimate catalog is what we call a "magalog." Twenty years ago, publishing-veteran Dave Wallace pioneered the concept of combining key elements of a catalog and magazine into an integrated package. The client's product line is not only pictured and described, but complemented by persuasive "how-to" articles that illustrate how easy these parts are to install, and how well they fit. Moreover, because these how-to pages often originate as technical articles that GCI created for a magazine, they are easily adapted to your catalog — and to your Website.

Whether you want a full-color magalog or a simple flyer, we'll create an attractive mailing piece that's designed to help your sales staff "close the deal."

Samples of GCI product catalogs will be available for viewing here soon.
