sales catalogs
Merchandise listing publications
Sales catalogs are publications displaying merchandise available for purchase, typically with descriptions, prices, and ordering information.
Before online shopping, printed catalogs from retailers like Sears and JCPenney were major vehicles for consumer commerce, especially in rural areas.
The format persists in specialty retail and business-to-business sales, though most have migrated online.
