Beyond Basic Pricing: Why Your Price List Format Matters
A price list is a fundamental tool for any business, providing essential product and pricing information. But is a simple, text-only price list always enough? While its main job is to convey data compactly, especially when customers already know your products, enriching it with visuals can dramatically boost its effectiveness and transform it into a more powerful sales asset.
With MyBusinessCatalog software, you gain the flexibility to create the perfect price list for any situation – from ultra-lean data sheets to engaging, illustrated versions that bridge the gap between a basic list and a full product catalog.

Text-Only vs. Illustrated Price Lists: A Visual Comparison
Let's see the difference MyBusinessCatalog can make. A standard text-only price list serves its purpose when product appearance isn't critical. But adding even small thumbnail images can significantly aid customer recognition and decision-making, especially if they're less familiar with your entire range.
Consider these two examples, both easily created in MyBusinessCatalog by simply selecting a different template. For these samples, we've used a two-column layout:
Example: Standard Text-Only Price List
Example: Illustrated Price List with Thumbnails
As you can see, the effort to create either version in MyBusinessCatalog is virtually the same – the power lies in choosing the right template for your audience and purpose.
Finding the Sweet Spot: Price List, Illustrated List, or Compact Catalog?
There's a spectrum of options when presenting your products. MyBusinessCatalog caters to all of them, allowing you to decide on the perfect balance between information density and visual richness. An illustrated price list often hits a "sweet spot," offering more product insight than a basic list, yet remaining more compact than a full-scale catalog.
1. Basic Price List
2. Illustrated Price List (Thumbnails)
3. Compact Product Catalog
The illustrated price list (middle example) often showcases a similar number of products as a basic text list but provides significantly more visual information, making it far more engaging and user-friendly.
