Crew<\/strong>, <strong>Urban<\/strong> <strong>Outfitters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Google has experimented with digital catalogs in the past, but this time also developed an app for <strong>iPad <\/strong>and<strong> Android <\/strong>tablets<strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Browsing the digital pages of, say,\u00a0 J. Crew delivers an experience on par with flipping through the clothing company&#8217;s glossy print catalog. It&#8217;s nearly all about the eye candy. But if J. Crew&#8217;s calf hair satchel catches your eye?<\/p>\n<p>Each catalog page sports small &#8220;price tags&#8221; that indicate what items are for sale. Click on one, and a pop-up window displays not only the buying information but also a product description. The product information can help you decide whether you want to part with $595 for a calf hair purse.<\/p>\n<p>While many of the Google Catalog product descriptions could be better, it&#8217;s encouraging that Google recognizes pretty pictures alone are not enough to convert browsers into buyers. We&#8217;ll be watching to see if the soon-to-be-launched <strong>Google Shopping<\/strong> also hits on a winning combination of attractive images and compelling product descriptions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You can read more about Google Catalog at <a title=\"Google Shopping catalogs?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cpcstrategy.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/google-shopping-catalogs\/\"
