Gift supplier experiences sales spike with 3D catalogue

Corporate gift supplier Leighmans.com has released an updated 3D catalogue complete with 3D glasses as well as an online interactive 360 degree tool for gift personalisation.

The North West UK based company is celebrating its tenth anniversary and used the occasion to increase engagement, publicity and most importantly orders with 3D visualisation.

The catalogue has been updated to include a special 3D section featuring red/cyan anaglyph product images. The gifts that are in the 3D section are those that best benefit from being showcased in three dimensions – for example, those that are more intricate. This includes specially engraved paperweights. The catalogue arrives with red/cyan glasses to ‘bring the products to life’ and hopefully provide a better idea of how the product will look once it arrives in the home.

Darren Leigh, managing director at Leighmans (pictured), commented: “As well as being a highly effective way to showcase key items from our range, the new 3D catalogues are also a lot of fun and provide a real point of difference from our competitors. We’re already receiving great feedback and have seen a significant spike in new orders.”

Leighmans has also introduced an interactive 3D tool called the 3D visualiser to aid personalisation. For example, if someone is interested in purchasing a mug embossed with a personal image, they can upload a picture to a model of a virtual mug and rotate the rendering in real time before they decide to buy.

Leigh said “Our new, online ‘try before you buy’ 3D visualiser, is a major technological advancement within the promotional gifts industry. The ability to see a 360o view of each item will allow marketers to get a genuine feel for each product and the introduction of this function demonstrates our dedication to delivering exceptional customer service.

How things have moved on since the Kays catalogue!
