Creating an interactive online catalog with Issuu is straightforward and efficient. Start by designing your catalog in your preferred software, such as Canva, Adobe Express, or Adobe InDesign, then export it as a PDF using the Issuu integration with these tools. Once you exported, enhance your catalog with interactive multimedia elements such as embedded Videos, Links to your eCommerce site for easy purchasing, and more. Issuu's user-friendly interface lets you quickly turn your static PDF into a dynamic, engaging online catalog that's easily shareable and accessible on any device.

A catalog is a comprehensive list or collection of items, products, or services a company or organization offers. It's used as a marketing tool to showcase what's available for sale or to highlight specific services. With Issuu, your digital product catalog goes a step further. It becomes an interactive experience, enabling you to list offerings and engage with your audience through powerful multimedia elements like flipping animations and shopping links.

There are several types of catalogs: product catalogs, service catalogs, and fashion lookbooks. Product catalogs list items for sale, providing details like price and specifications. Service catalogs outline the company's services, often with descriptions and pricing. Fashion lookbooks, another common type, display a brand's latest collection in a visually appealing format. Issuu supports all these types, enabling creators to publish their content digitally and reach a wider audience.

"Catalog" and "catalogue" refer to the same concept—the former is the preferred spelling in American English, while the latter is used in British English. Regardless of spelling, both terms describe a list or collection of items.

Choosing an online catalog over a print version offers several advantages, including cost savings on printing and distribution, updating content in real time, and reaching a bigger audience. Online catalogs created with Issuu are eco-friendly and dynamic, allowing for the inclusion of interactive elements that engage customers more effectively than static print ever could. Moreover, digital catalogs provide valuable analytics on viewer engagement, helping businesses refine their marketing strategies based on real data.
