Shop your favorite catalogs with Google Catalogs
August 16, 2011
(Cross-posted on the
Commerce
and
Mobile
blogs)
For years, shoppers have enjoyed flipping through glossy print catalogs to be inspired, discover new trends and find great products. Today, mobile technologies can make catalog shopping more engaging, social and creative. With that in mind, we’ve created
Google Catalogs
—a free app for tablet devices that enables you to browse all of your favorite catalogs and interact with new layers of rich-media content.
The Google Catalogs app features digital versions of catalogs across many popular categories, including fashion and apparel, beauty, jewelry, home, kids and gifts. We’ve partnered with a variety of top brands including
Anthropologie
,
Bare Escentuals
,
Bergdorf Goodman
,
Bloomingdale's
,
Crate and Barrel
,
L.L. Bean
,
Lands’ End
,
Macy’s
,
Neiman Marcus
,
Nordstrom
,
Pottery Barn
,
Saks Fifth Avenue
,
Sephora
,
Sundance Catalog
,
Tea Collection
,
Urban Outfitters
and
Williams-Sonoma
, just to name a few.
With Google Catalogs, you can:
Interact:
Zoom in to see products up close, tap on tags to learn more about an item or, in some catalogs, view inspiring photo albums and videos.
Find products in nearby stores:
When an item catches your eye, instantly find it in a store near you or tap “Buy on Website” to visit the merchant online.
Express your creativity:
Create a collage of your favorite catalog pages and products. If you need inspiration, you can check out collages created by others.
Share with friends:
Email a product or collage to all your shopping buddies.
Get instant access to new catalogs:
Add catalogs to your Favorites and get notified each time a new issue arrives.
Discover new products and brands:
Search for products within or across multiple catalogs to find exactly what you’re looking for.
To download the app on your iPad, visit the
App Store
