Why Traditional Editions Failed The Top Objectives

Print Replicas, Apps, Newsstand Platforms

Flip and portrait was first generation digital and never easy to use
Apps improved UX but required multi-channels workflows and people didn’t use apps consistently or maintain downloads – no instant issue was a problem
Digital edition platforms changed from publisher centric to consumer focused newsstand platforms or have converged niche into a crowded and cluttered storefront
There was no incentive for advertisers to ever get more creative in a print replica display ad
Publishers didn’t really understand how the website and digital strategy could leverage print growth too, as well as view anywhere, promote anywhere, and expand audience reach and engagement
Vertiqul vs. Traditional Flip

Vertiqul
Responsive, Device Independent Issue
While other traditional flipping solutions may just have recently started promoting their platform as ‘responsive’, VERTIQUL is really the only truly responsive digital publication platform. Your content and publication style elements are all reimagined for multiple device breakpoints to ensure digital longevity as well as brand consistency.

The responsive cross-platform operating system and device independent presentation mean that users on any desktop or mobile device can view the issue and long form content in one place without separate apps, tools, templates or access points.

The Best Marketing Vehicle is The Issue Itself

To grow audience we must always convert new opt-in subscribers, paid subscriptions, or new members. Our domain and digital editions always keep the visitor on our brand landing pages and not 3rd party sites. The digital edition supports SMO and SEO to our entire print and website brand elements – design matched.

The Audience Experience

Everything we do comes down to readability that makes your audience happy

The magazine brand demands we satisfy the audience to return for every issue and give them complete velocity control. Regardless of content, our engagement must create a premium experience on every device – readers quit if problems exist. Any 3rd party vendor domain, names, page flip training, and branding distractions are eliminated from our brand experience.

We define enhancements as anything your print publication or traditional solution can’t do. Have a feature story you had a ton of extra pictures that couldn’t fit? Add them to the Vertiqul edition. Have a great video that pairs along with a story? Add it to the Vertiqul edition. Any provided embeddable custom html third party code can be placed anywhere in your issue.

Have a prominent advertiser? We can turn their print ad files into an innovative enhanced version with animation, video, image gallery and large conversion elements.

Each issue is quoted in the service agreement based on layout and design. We invoice the actual issue production fee at the start of design production for every issue and if an issue is larger than the fixed fee price we count additional pages to determine the additional cost.
What is required for the initial digital publications platform setup?
We step each client through each step and the specific DNS chances to configure the custom domain. We handle everything else based on the options presented and selected in the service start quote.
