Comments on: Make Your Own Catalog – Ideas From Sellers http://handmademarketing.org/create-your-own-catalog-print-brochure-online-catalogue-design/ You can sell handmade, here's how.

One of my greatest business accomplishments and for sure a great way to get sales. I would say that I averaged 2500.00 from start to finish, but the sales that came in were totally worth it ( I brought that much in the first month of them being published). I believe having a catalog shows you believe in your business and gives you some credibility as a handmade seller. To keep costs low, ask friends and family for help with photography, makeup/modeling or ask someone to trade your goods for theirs. I traded jewelry for my makeup artist's work. I also have to give a shout out to Printplace.com for their help with my catalogs. They were patient and most helpful, plus their prices were the best around. Very impressed. Don't be scared of doing a catalog, but be prepared for some great sales!

Creating a print catalog has been on my "to do" list for a while. Maybe this will help me finally get it accomplished. This is a great article.

I have a friend who creates an online catalog and shares it via Issuu.

This can be very affordable, and actually more affordable than printing at home because, of course, the greater the quantity you can order at once, the lower your cost for each. And then you don't have to mess with the hassle of aligning your office printer correctly or binding the pages yourself. Plus, you can easily find a printer who uses all green practices for printing.
