(Setup and customization is a $500 value. Discounted pricing of just $1,600 per year for unlimited catalogs.)
Product Catalog Solutions works with dealers to add full product catalogs to their existing websites. It's not a product section based on a free plug-in, but is highly customized, based on working with dealers in this industry for more than 20 years. You will find the product section is nicely laid out and easy to navigate. Not only does it have clear, large pictures of the equipment with quick bullets of information, but it also includes the full color product brochure and an online video (when available). There is also a link for your viewer to "request a quote" and Product Catalog Solutions can add a "buy now" option. Little details matter. Product Catalog Solutions will customize your catalogs so the "view brochure" image is a mini brochure with your company logo on it. All background colors are all customized so your new product catalog section syncs with your current website.
Stop sending your viewers to your manufacturer's website to look for products. You will lose them when they hit "where to buy" and they see a list of other dealers in the area.
