What Is a Product Catalog
A product catalog is the place to keep information about products or services your company produces or provides.
This is a log that contains product descriptions, attributes, service packages, and other important information.
Product catalogs can be a useful tool to promote new products or services, or to upsell customers on higher-end items. They can also be a helpful reference for customer service representatives when dealing with customer inquiries.
