Today Google has released 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.
Google Catalogs recreates the catalog experience on the iPad, featuring digital versions of catalogs from retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Pottery Barn, Sephora and Urban Outfitters.The app features digital versions of catalogs across many popular categories, including
- Fashion and apparel
- Beauty
- Jewelry
- Home
- Kids
- Gifts
The initial version of the app is targeted primarily at female shoppers, though Google has plans to expand its partnerships and include a wider range of catalogs.
If you’re a merchant and would like to participate in Google Catalogs, tell Google about your catalog by filling out this form on Google’s website.
