On demand

Hello!
I'd like to know whether it's correct to say: "brochure on demand".
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I guess so, but brochures are free and seldom need to be asked for-- they seem to arrive in droves, unbidden.

Better to say "catalogue", then? it's when people are interested in our products (pottery), they phone ou Email, and we send them one.

'Catalogue' is better; 'brochure' is a bit generic. But what I really wanted to say, and forgot, is that the standard phrase is 'on request' rather than 'on demand'.

Thank you, Mr M.
And "on request" sounds much better, I had forgotten it, that's why I wasn't THAT sure about "on demand"...
