Convert Paper Catalog to Flash Catalog
Posted at 7:46 am | Filed Under 3d, Advertising, Flash, Software, Technology, Web Sites
Catalog retailers send out 20 billion catalogs a year, and almost none of the paper contains any recycled content. Instead, over 8 million tons of trees a year goes into creating catalogs alone — which means 8 million tons of trees are going from forests to the landfill, with a short appearance as junk mail in between. By switching to a flash catalog, catalogers could greatly decrease their negative environmental impact, cut air and water pollution, and decrease the amount of paper filling up landfills.
The catalog industry is causing the destruction of forests such as North America’s Boreal Forest. Stretching from Alaska to Canada’s Atlantic coast, the Boreal is the size of 13 Californias and provides one of our planet’s first lines of defense against global warming. The Boreal also provides critical habitat for a wide range of species, including endangered caribou and half of North America’s songbirds.
It is high time that the catalog industry adopts eco-friendly alternatives to the paper catalog. eCatalog Creator is a digital publishing service which converts your paper publication into an online flash catalog. The flash catalog, or eCatalog, is a virtual flip book. Your customers may flip through the pages of an eCatalog, much like they would do with a paper catalog, except that the eCatalog is intuitive, interactive and eco-friendly.
Flash catalog offers the look and feel of a paper catalog at a fraction of the cost. Updating the flash catalog is also easy and inexpensive, compared to the costly and prolonged cycle of printing and posting thousands of paper catalogs.
So go ahead and reduce your carbon footprint today. Save paper, save money, convert your paper catalog to a flash catalog.
