Cutting Edge Shopping: E-Catalogs and The Consumer Experience

The changing consumer lifestyle has forced the retail industry to rethink how they market and sell products. Nowadays, customers expect more than just a few items that can be put on a shelf and purchased at will, they want personalization and convenience. That's why it's important to appreciate the role of e-catalogs in today's shopping experience. You'll learn about their history, their mission statement today, and what retailers like Macy’s are doing with these catalogs in order to reach out to consumers better than any other store ever could.
