During this Internet age, multichannel retailing, i.e. the association of catalogue, Web, phone and the actual stores, has become an engine for growth; it enhances the possibilities for establishing client contact. The paper version of catalogues thus plays a more strategic role than ever before for online retailers.
This support service enjoys widespread popularity among consumers, who admit to making use of it as a complement to the other available channels. For the past ten years or so, the majority of large online retailers have been presenting their catalogues on their sites, yet these companies are still printing as many paper brochures and materials as in the past.
Tomorrow’s real challenge lies within the companies themselves, in their ability to recognize that the synergy derived among the various channels will serve to raise overall customer value. This recognition underscores the importance of building a bona fide multichannel strategy centered around customer value and segmented product lines that take consumer differences into account.

It has been noted that an increasing number of consumers now prefer consulting an e-catalogue rather than a traditional e-commerce Website, since they can now access the same level of detail, with the same contextual depth and ease of navigation that they are accustomed to in the printed versions.
Customer-oriented multichannel strategies, while presenting a number of key challenges, still remain the key to long-term prosperity.

Online 2010 will provide the occasion to assemble all online communication actors: experts in e-mailing, mobile marketing, online video, SEM, SEO, e-commerce development, affiliation, loyalty-building, and mobile commerce.

Wednesday, June 9th, at 3 pm, you are invited to attend the roundtable entitled: “New e-commerce trends in a multichannel setting“, with the participation of, among others, Stéphane Claret, PageOnDemand.com’s Managing Director.

This assembly will be held on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 from 9 am to 5 pm in the meeting rooms of the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The impact of Cloud Computing and SaaS on the strategies adopted by industry professionals as well as on the new opportunities available to resellers will be among the highlights of this convention.
Latest news items can be combined under three headings:

• The emergence of Cloud Computing, which underscores the increasing emphasis on Service-oriented aspects, through a wide array of forms, no doubt laying the groundwork as tomorrow’s references in the field;

• Distribution difficulties encountered by SaaS and ASP actors, a topic that cuts to the heart of concerns shared by all professionals;

• The issue of ensuring a productive dialogue between SaaS applications, service aggregation software, front office and back office.

Significant trends outlined at the ASP Forum

As a specialist in catalogue design and production run in SaaS mode, PageOnDemand.com is constantly striving for technological innovation in order to provide the best services to its clients.

During the convention program, Stéphane Claret, CEO of PageOnDemand.com, will take part in a couple sessions (“What is the Cloud Computing reality?” and “How will Cloud Computing modify corporate computing practices“), in order to share his vision for Cloud Computing and explain the stakes involved for tomorrow’s business environment.

We look forward to a fruitful exchange with you and sharing our vision of this dynamic model evolution.

After 18 months of studies and preparation, the American market has been penetrated!
Accompanied by senior expert consultants in catalogue publishing, PageOnDemand.com is pleased to announce the opening of a fully autonomous subsidiary, responsible for marketing and communication in both the United States and Canada.
PageOnDemand.com intends to retain its leadership position as a catalogue platform operating in SaaS mode, with activity in the U.S. expected to reach that of Europe in 3 years time.
PageOnDemand.com continues to pursue expansion plans, building on its primary market base in France and entering other European Union countries, starting with Great Britain, Benelux, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Distributed throughout Europe by its network of partners, agencies or via the prepress platform, the dissemination model adopted for North America has remained identical. In accordance with SaaS principles, the driving force behind PageOnDemand.com, American users have access to the same services and benefits as their European counterparts.

Stéphane CLARET, Chairman and CEO of PageOnDemand.com USA, Inc.
“With over ten years of experience in dynamic publishing and catalogue publishing software under my belt, I decided to create PageOnDemand.com. Thanks to the success of this venture, I’m now expanding the firm’s scope to the international level in order to achieve the kind of renown we initially planned. Our primary ambition in the U.S. market is to quickly build our sales channels through strategic partnerships.”

Steve PALLADINO, President of PageOnDemand.com USA, Inc.
“As a business development expert in the technology industry, I’ve held a range of executive positions with IBM, Motorola and Cap Gemini, focusing on both sales management and international development. I’m now applying my skills and experience to the areas of business development, team management and customer satisfaction to help create a success story for PageOnDemand.com USA, Inc.”

Starting from scratch, PageOnDemand.com’s goal was to become the leading platform for producing printed catalogues and Web versions using cloud computing.

Mission accomplished, as PageOnDemand.com today enjoys being the sole distributor of a catalogue publishing solution running in SaaS mode.
This success has been confirmed by the company’s steady growth, with over 2,800 catalogues produced within just 3 years. Another confirmation is the confidence shown by major retailers like Carrefour or Boulanger.

Among the most highly acclaimed presentations, a few topics stood out:
“The 7 golden rules for a profitable retail site”, “E-commerce as a means for turning the economy around”, “How to sell on the Internet?”, and “What role will catalogues play in the future?”.
Many brands have now understood that the Internet and e-commerce are not one in the same, but part of a reality that must always incite greater visibility and innovation. The onus lies in adapting to purchasing patterns and the latest needs of Web users.

The title of our talk, delivered by Stéphane Claret, Managing Director, made no exception: “How to break the boundaries of catalogue production?”, which today is where the world of printing and the Internet overlap and where in the area of catalogue publishing what used to be different production processes are now becoming increasingly similar.

With its new e-commerce platform, PageEx™, PageOnDemand.com has been considered by a good number of advertisers and agencies to usher in a real revolution in multichannel catalogue publishing with a decided e-commerce bent!
Some have found PageEx an essential tool for helping e-catalogues break away from being merely a printable Web document in the transition to becoming a full-fledged part of the e-commerce strategy and serving a real purpose in converting Internet visits into purchases.

The entire PageOnDemand.com team extends its thanks for the tremendous interest you’ve shown in our solution at the event stand as well as during the “Catalogue Critique” Master Class or at the time of our presentation.

PageOnDemand.com has introduced an innovative solution on the market to boost the potential for e-catalogues to finally become a driving force behind sales.
In response to consumers’ most recent catalogue use habits, PageOnDemand.com offers the first “cross-catalogue” search engine. All online catalogues have been included for consultation within a standardized interface. The installed search engine is dynamic and loaded with images. Surfers are able to run a search by entering either a keyword or cross-referencing categories. When clicking on the product image, the user is led directly to the referenced page(s). Close-ups, annotations, links to product fact sheets and online order forms, the full panoply of navigation tools is available to move users to the final sale screen without having to exit the interface and return to an e-catalogue.

PageEX is intended to be hosted by the client; it has been integrated into the PageOnDemand.com platform and proposed as a complement to the catalogue page design and production services. One click is all it takes to automatically and immediately transform any catalogue produced using PageOnDemand.com into an e-catalogue compatible with PageEX. The client becomes responsible for administering e-catalogue publications, focusing on: search engine parameters, consolidation, online publication schedules, display options, etc.

PageOnDemand.com takes a huge stride to transforming catalogues into comprehensive e-retail sites.

PageOnDemand.com offers industries or major retailers the capacity to compound their approaches with a joint printout/Internet solution. Already present on the market, PageEx will very soon be available in an e-commerce version to enable dynamic price updates from the base e-commerce rate: e-catalogues will never again be out of sync with Website promotional campaigns. It will be possible to automatically update content directly within the page layout.

The e-catalogue will no longer be limited to a printable Web document, but instead a full-fledged component of the online sales toolbox.

For this occasion, PageOnDemand.com launched an expanded version of the interactive catalogue with PageEX™.

The new PageOnDemand.com look offers its partner agencies, user-clients and prospects an exceptional staging of the company’s professional competences. Not to be missed!

To mark its three years of existence and recognizing that its portal was no longer corresponding to visitor expectations or to its own requirements, PageOnDemand.com had a facelift. The site was entirely redesigned to equip the young enterprise with a virtual storefront capable of meeting the wide range of needs expressed by agencies and catalogue advertisers.

“Our brand PageOnDemand.com has upgraded the quality of its site to match its ambitious plans.”

Placing the spotlight on simplicity

PageOnDemand.com’s new site now features an optimized arborescence structure. This specification is intended to facilitate browsing and allows accessing information through use of a simplified set-up. Since visual identity serves as a focal point, the graphic charter has been revised from top to bottom. This streamlined navigation goes hand in hand with a sharply-defined message backed by clear visual identity.

Showcasing partner expertise

Our company has developed its in-house expertise through a network of partners renowned for their competence in the field of multichannel publishing.

We have successfully coalesced advertising agencies as well as pre-press agencies involved in accompanying clients on a daily basis with their catalogue publication projects.

As exclusive distributors of our solution, these agencies attest to a strong and tight-knit professional relationship and provide the key to a successful PageOnDemand.com venture, leading to an action plan suited to clients’ real needs.

These agencies are all in the same line of work and share the same maxim: proximity, partnership, expertise.

What if it were really child’s play to make good deals by simply browsing catalogues?
