There are ways to gather information for your catalog printing project. And sometimes, getting valuable information on your target clients can be easy and simple.

During a purchase or sale

One of the most straightforward methods of getting customer information is during a purchase or sale. You can easily ask for a person’s zip code which can be written down or put in your computer at the time of the purchase. When you put the client’s name and zip code together, you will be able to map out where people live.

Registration Slips

The most popular among catalog printing pieces is to have your target clients register to get a free gift or win a prize. It’s easy to include a registration slip or a cut-out portion in your catalog printing piece which your target clients can easily rip out of your print catalogs and then bring to your shop to get their prize. Getting the exact information you need is fairly easy because you’ll be able to include only those you need to know in your catalog printing fill-up form.

Another way of getting your target clients to return the registration slips is to provide a drop box where they can easily put them in the slot. Put instructions in your catalog printing project where they can find your drop boxes. Remember to do a fine job of your drop box as it will reflect on your business image.

And don’t forget to provide a valuable prize. It doesn’t have to be pricey. As long as it gets people to want to register, even a gift certificate for your products will do.

Inserts in your catalogs

You can also include an insert in your catalog printing project that will require them to complete. A form of motivation would also be a prize or a free gift when they return the insert to your shop.

Generally, we are able to get in touch with people in a lot of ways. This makes it easy to form our database of information especially when we use it in your marketing campaign such as the catalog printing piece.

But remember that as you gather your clients’ information, you also have the privilege to be privy of something personal and private. That is why the information you have in your hands should not be made to torment or take advantage of your clients.

Use what you have wisely. Encourage your clients to continue doing business with you. A simple token of appreciation would go a long way to making them feel important, which can provide positive results for your business.
