Interactive Direct Mail / Use Case 12

Interactive Retail Catalog

Make a printed catalog a guided shopping experience.

This example is about the problem behind the use case: Back-to-school shoppers have different budgets and needs, while printed catalogs offer limited room for comparisons or tailored recommendations.

Conceptual use case: an example application, not a published customer case study.

The Opportunity

Back-to-school shoppers have different budgets and needs, while printed catalogs offer limited room for comparisons or tailored recommendations.

A catalog or postcard links to product categories, relevant offers, an AI shopping assistant, nearby stores, and retailer-controlled purchase pathways.

  • Find stores or shop online
