Frankly, an online program costs less to run than a print catalogue. In the past companies have relied on 4 color catalogues to distribute to employees or associates. Not only does the company incur the cost of printing, but mailing and distribution as well. With rapid change in product features and specifications, many catalogues are out of date when they go to press. Here are some other reasons to go online with your next promotion.
