What do you get when you combine printed product catalogs with a powerful
search function? Google
Catalogs - a service that pays homage to the predecessors of the
e-tail store. Google uses its technology to bring mail order catalogs to the
online community in the form of searchable scanned pages, instantly making
you a multi-channel retailer.
The free service cross-references your company Web site, directing traffic
across your selling channels, and taking advantage of the 150 million daily
Google searches. Coupled with the search function are enhancements that help
increase traffic and sales:
- Reports and analysis determine the keywords users are entering to find
your catalog; the number of pages they examine; and the clickthrough and
sellthrough rates; along with other pertinent research information.
- Google generates leads for you by providing the names and addresses of
users who have specifically requested that your catalog be mailed to them.
- Direct linking to your Web site's product pages so users can order from
you even more easily.
- Future advertising programs designed to enhance your catalog9s
visibility.
All you have to do to be included is provide Google with a copy of your
catalog and it will be scanned and added to the database within a few days.
