Is your catalogue working hard enough?

We optimise your existing pages using direct-response principles proven to lift response and sales. Your brand stays yours. It just sells harder.

Free Page Redesign, on us. It starts with a 20-minute call, so the redesign is built around your business, not our assumptions.

“Working with Paper & Pixels on our catalogue set a completely new benchmark for what we can achieve with our direct mail. The new design captured our brand perfectly and delivered a significant lift in response rate and sales, with net ROAS up 61%.”

Harry Engels, Marketing Director, Naturalmat

Naturalmat's catalogue became a genuine sales tool without losing its premium, sustainable feel. We optimised every page with immersive imagery, social proof, 3rd party authority, benefit focused copy, cross selling to improve AOV and re-sized to a format that made the most of Royal Mail pricing brackets.

This is what optimisation looks like

Real spreads from real demos. Same brand, same products, working harder.

01Nemo Office Club
Original Nemo Office Club catalogue spread with products listed at uniform priorityBefore
Redesigned Nemo Office Club spread with margin-leading products given visual priorityAfter
A dense product listing rebuilt around what actually sells. Same products, reordered so the lines carrying the margin lead the spread.
02Cotton Traders
Original Cotton Traders catalogue spread laid out as a uniform product gridBefore
Redesigned Cotton Traders spread with a dominant hero product, benefit-led headline and reassurance panelAfter
A uniform product grid given a clear hero, a benefit-led headline, and the reassurance that was missing.
03Watercare
Original Watercare catalogue page laid out as dense technical listingsBefore
Redesigned Watercare page with clear hierarchy, benefit-led copy and a visible call to actionAfter
Technical listings turned into a shoppable page. Clearer hierarchy, benefit-led copy, and a call to action you can actually find.

Why most catalogues underperform

“I've looked at thousands of catalogues, and there's a common thread with the ones that underperform. They're designed to look good rather than to sell. Images too small. Copy that doesn't sizzle. Hierarchy that ignores which products actually make the money. No trust signals, no upsells. And ultimately they are not being designed with their customer front of mind.”

Three disciplines
One focused outcome

Every optimisation is built around measurable response not aesthetic preference.

Direct Response Design

We restructure your pages to guide the reader's eye from headline to call to action, using layout principles that make every spread shoppable rather than browsable.

Persuasive Copywriting

We rewrite the words with one goal: response. Benefit-led headlines, body copy that answers the real objection, and calls to action people actually follow.

Trust and Order Value

We build in the reassurance that removes hesitation. Guarantees, service promises, social proof, and upsells placed where they lift average order value.

The free demo

We'll redesign your pages for free. Start with a 20-minute call.

The demo is genuinely free and there is no catch. The call happens first for one reason: a redesign built on twenty minutes of understanding your business is far more useful than one built on guesswork. That's also the point where we get a natural read on whether we're a good fit to work together.

  1. Book a 20-minute call

    Twenty minutes, no pitch. It also tells us both whether we're a good fit, which saves everyone the awkward version of that conversation later.

  2. We redesign your pages, free

    One or two real spreads from your own catalogue, rebuilt properly. Because we have had the call first, the redesign is built around your actual products, margins and customers rather than guesswork from the outside.

  3. We walk you through the reasoning

    A presentation covering every change and why it works, with the test data behind it. No charge, no obligation. You keep the thinking whether you go on to work with us or not.

  4. If you want the full book, we take it on

    End-to-end redesign and production, or a design package if you have an in-house team who need the framework rather than the labour.
