September is fast approaching!
And with it comes your clients’ desire
for renewal, fresh style, and exciting finds.
It’s the perfect time to rethink your luxury
and second-hand product catalogue.
But how can you successfully update it
without disrupting your entire organization?
A New Catalogue for a New Start
At every key moment of the year, your catalogue should reflect both your brand identity and your clients’ expectations.
And back-to-school season is the time when consumers actively seek new products to mark a fresh start.
But be careful: updating your catalogue is not a task to take lightly — it requires a well-thought-out strategic approach.
New product introductions must be handled with care, without disrupting the balance of your offering or compromising your supply chain.
Align with Evolving Consumer Expectations
Today’s customers are no longer just buying products — they’re seeking meaning in their purchases. Their choices are driven by strong values: sustainability, well-being, ethics, diversity, and inclusion.
So ask yourself the right questions:
Do your products reflect these values?
Is your supply chain aligned with your brand commitments?
If certain items no longer fit this vision, consider removing them from your catalogue. This will strengthen your brand’s coherence and authenticity.
Identify Strengths and Areas for Improvement
Before redesigning your catalogue, it’s essential to review past performance.
Look at your sales data from last year’s fall season:
Which products delivered the best results?
Were there specific materials, colors, or cuts that resonated with your audience?
This analysis will help you reinforce high-performing product lines and capitalize on validated trends. Conversely, underperforming items should be revised or removed to sharpen your overall offering.
Streamline and Update Your Product Content
The post-summer period is the perfect time to assess the quality and relevance of your product content.
Remove obsolete references or products that are no longer aligned with your brand positioning or values.
Check that your product pages are accurate and up to date: availability, pricing, visuals, descriptions.
Take this opportunity to enrich your content by including key buying information, answers to frequently asked questions, and strategic keywords to improve your SEO.
Launch Your Products Strategically
It’s not always necessary — or even advisable — to release your entire new collection in September.
Some products may perform better if launched at more relevant times of the year, such as the holiday season or Valentine’s Day.
Instead, consider a progressive release strategy, with smaller product drops at regular intervals. This keeps your audience engaged, creates a sense of anticipation, and often leads to higher conversion rates.
It also simplifies inventory management and enhances the perceived exclusivity of your offer.
Leverage Social Proof to Create Connection
To increase the appeal of your product range, highlight what worked well in the past.
Showcase last year’s top-performing products in a visual carousel or curated editorial selection.
Pair this with a compelling promotional offer (e.g., a discount for the first 10 buyers) to create urgency and drive engagement.
