Specialty retailer J.Crew announces plans to launch Corporate Sales, a new business-to-business catalog aimed at J.Crew's corporate customers. Beginning September 8th, a 24-page edition will be mailed out to a list of prospective corporate buyers, featuring 66 distinct styles for men and women that are both professional yet allow for individual expression. From outfitting corporate outings to motivational incentives, Corporate Sales will offer businesses a chance to reward company employees, customers and clients with the high quality signature styles that the J.Crew name is built on. In keeping with the creative aesthetic of the J.Crew catalog, Corporate Sales will feature customer-friendly close-up photography and helpful wardrobe recommendations. Special services will include superior monogramming and custom embroidery services enabling businesses to personalize the product with their logo, gift cards and multiple location shipping.
Product categories include:
Classics -- staple items such as the micropique polo, cotton jersey turtleneck, pigment-dyed oxford and stretch poplin shirts
J.Crew icons -- favorite J.Crew styles such as the rollneck sweater, the barn jacket and the pocket tee
Workweek separates for a conference, meeting or a presentation: the stretch pocket shirt, chino trousers, merino wool sweaters and suiting

In addition to the unisex items, the catalog will also offer elegant styles specifically designed for women, such as the fitted broadcloth cuffed shirt, refined cotton twin sets ... even wool crepe suiting. Prices range from $12.50 for a crewneck tee to $198 for a wool crepe suit jacket. The new catalog will also be available online at jcrew.com/crewcorp.
