Back to Basics: Customizing Catalogs

‘Tis the season for gifting, family, and cheer. That makes it the perfect time to go back to basics and see how easy it is to customize holiday catalogs on ZOOMcatalog. 

And when we say easy, trust us, we mean easy. There are fewer steps to a custom catalog than there are “fa-la-las” in your favorite Christmas carol.

STEP ONE: Login to ZOOMcatalog.com

If you don’t have a ZOOMcatalog account yet, sign up and follow the prompts to upload your logo. It will be saved and ready to place on any catalog you want to customize now or in the future.

STEP TWO: Find a Catalog or Flyer to Customize

The “Customize” tab on ZOOMcatalog.com displays every customizable catalog and flyer available from industry suppliers. From here, you can navigate to the “Holiday” tab, or search by holiday keywords in the search bar. 

Once you find the perfect holiday catalog or flyer, click “customize” to make it your own.

STEP THREE: Name Your Catalog

Choose a name for your custom creation. This name will be included in the unique URL that you’ll use to share your catalog or flyer when it’s all done. We recommend keeping it simple and short. You can’t go wrong by using your company name.

STEP FOUR: Add Your Logo and Check Your Contact Information

Your logo will be placed on the catalog cover automatically (since you uploaded it when you signed up). All you need to do is grab a corner to resize, and then drag and drop it into the perfect spot. You can also include as much (or as little) contact information as you want. If you have your address or email, double-check that they’re correct, and then click next.

PRO TIP: If you find yourself taken by the spirit of creativity, you can even replace the entire cover and upload your own. 

STEP FIVE: Save and Share

Click the save button and you’re ready to share. As we mentioned above, every customized catalog and flyer has a unique URL. Here are just some of the ways you can use that link to share your new holiday catalog:

  • Social Media Posts
  • On Your Website
  • In Your Email Signature
  • On Your Blog
  • As a QR Code Printed on Holiday Postcards
  • And more…

You’re just a few simple clicks away from your own custom holiday catalog, so what are you waiting for?
