Paperturn

Avantages

The ability to make a publication offline, upload it, and have it immediately compatible with all browsers, both desktop and mobile has been a game changer for us.

Making changes by simply reuploading our publication on top of itself is amazing. We can make changes daily and our customers never need a new link, there's no downtime, the changes are just instant and all it takes is up pressing upload.

The realistic approach of actually turning paper on mobile or desktops, the page turning sound, search function, thumbnail functions, all of the little additional things you wouldn't think mattered have made our customers experiencing searching our catalog so much better.

Inconvénients

We had a few customers tell us they couldn't access our publication online and after researching the issue we found the server our publication was hosted on was not in the US and their firewall was using GEO-IP to block countries outside of the US. We resolved the issue but be aware that could happen to you.

Avantages

I love that everything about Paperturn is geared towards being easy to understand, navigate and implement which, for a small non profit is absolutely essential.

Inconvénients

Tutorials on how to make the most out of how you can use Paperturn would be really useful

Avantages

From start to finish, Paperturn makes digital publishing feel effortless. I've been using Paperturn for both business and personal projects. The platform allows me to create digital brochures and flip e-book with incredibly high quality.

Inconvénients

For the top-tier advanced features, you love to purchase the upgraded version.

Avantages

We find its functionality very user friendly and we use the statistics tab a lot throughout issues to track the progress of readership.

Inconvénients

With every edition we have difficulties with embedding the custom code onto our Squarespace website. For two such leading brands we would have hoped that this wouldn't be an issue but it is.

Pourquoi passer à Paperturn

Avantages

Blount and Beyond has found a wonderful home at Paperturn. It is user friendly, allows my readers to read the magazine on their phone, computor, etc. It is very shareable. I am so happy I found this business as it is a good fit for Blount and Beyond.

Inconvénients

I have not found any cons, I love Paperturn.

Avantages

It is really easy to use and allows us to create digital brochure and set live on site in an instant. The links to our site are so important so customers can purchase directly on our website. The analytics are also really useful to us to show which pages perform the best and inform future content.

Inconvénients

I have struggled to link into google analytics but that might be more of a google analytics technical issue than an issue with paperturn but further knowledge of the customer journey from when they view the brochure would be interesting.

Avantages

We love that we can host our catalog online and that everything is linked back to our site!

Inconvénients

It takes a little bit of time getting used to but not that bad.

Avantages

Our company loves how easy this software is to use and our customers love to flip through our ebook as well as our services catalog. It looks professional and helps sell our products and services.

Inconvénients

Seems like price is so high for the 3 flip books we have.

Avantages

Besides the ease of uploading material, the bells and whistles that make your publication stand out are amazing. the pop-ups, the embedded videos, and all the other additions make a simple manuscript come alive.

Inconvénients

I'm not sure 100% of the rules about using the pop-ups, etc. I need to fully understand that if I upload some pop-ups and later upload a new .pdf with additional pages, does that mess up the previous pop-ups, having to start over adding them back into the updated .pdf?

Avantages

I love using Paperturn to help my retailers purchase easily just clicking on images to add to their shopping carts. They don't have to use PO forms and product codes and can see faster what they need to buy form us.

Inconvénients

I did not find anything that I did not like with Paperturn

Avantages

My favorite part of this product is that our client can use this on their desktop and phone and there is NO DIFFERENCE between the quality and ease of use. As an account manager, a happy client is the goal!

Inconvénients

There was not one thing that I did not like; telling the truth!

Avantages

Paperturn is extremely user friendly and easily allows you to publish your online booklets and share with others.

Inconvénients

Our membership only allowed for one item at a time, which was sometimes difficult.

Avantages

Paperturn was extremely easy to customize to fit our needs, and it remains very easy to update on a daily or weekly basis. The customization options allow the product to seamlessly fit into the rest of our branding. Training isn't even required for new users, it's so intuitive.

Inconvénients

I really don't have any cons! The product performs exactly how I would expect it to.

Avantages

A slick way of sharing marketing content

Inconvénients

The cost seems a little expensive in my opinion

Avantages

Easy to use. Better than regular slide presentation.

Inconvénients

I have nothing negative to say. I like this product a lot.

Avantages

I appreciate that new features are continually being added. I have not had the opportunity to integrate them yet, but I am excited about embedding form fill-in's, virtual walkthroughs and photo galleries, etc. In an industry that changes so often such as ours, having one "source of truth" document is so important. It prevents old copies of price sheets or home availability from confusing prospects in their buying process.

Inconvénients

I realize it's fully a user error issue, but one time I accidentally deleted a brochure that was associated with more permanent marketing methods such as a QR code displayed on collateral given to homeowners and on-site signage. The Paperturn team was able to quickly re-roll the error, but it seemed as this was just pure luck as I noticed the error immediately. If they would not have been able to do so, this QR would've become useless and no longer linked to the proper content. There's always now just a slight concern in the back of my mind when uploading new documents as this is not an error I wish to make again.

Avantages

We use Paperturn for our digital brochure and pricelist. We are a B2B company, and we love how easy it is to send these digital copies out to our customer data base... it's instant communication and it saves us money on printing and distribution costs. Our customers can also easily share our digital brochure, with their own customers. So it's a double-win for us. And the best thing is, if there is a change to our pricing or product line, we just make the adjustments within the Paperturn platform - and we know that our customers, and their customers, immediately have access to the new and updated information - without us having to specifically communicate it to them. We also love that we can share fun videos of our products in use. And we keep an eye on our statistics to find out what products are the most popular, and where we can improve. There is a whole wealth of information we can gather from our new digital brochure and pricelist. We really love using Paperturn.

Inconvénients

We did some research in the beginning and found that Paperturn is a bit more expensive when we did a competitor comparison. We actually stopped our subscription and went for a cheaper option. But we only lasted two months before we went back to Paperturn. The system is so easy to use, and their customer service is superb. It's worth the little bit of extra money.

Avantages

The products is very easy to use and very intuitive. Many options to make your content interactive and to create a full marketing cycle.

Inconvénients

The only challenge I experienced was with the integration with my online store but I got help from the customer service team.

Avantages

Paperturn is easy to use and provides all the tools I need when posting class catalogs, book gallies, yearbooks and business plans.

Inconvénients

In the beginning, the only con was accessibility. Since then, Paperturn has added that feature.

Avantages

For a one-stop shop communications and marketing department, Paperturn provides easy to use features, customization, links, social sharing -- along with the ability to embed flipbooks in our email marketing campaigns and landing pages.

Inconvénients

We have been so pleased with this product, I honestly don't have suggestions for improvement.

Inconvénients

None. We don’t have any problems with the flip books.

Avantages

easy to use tool for our on-line catalogue - flip over gives our customer the impression of reading our physical catalogue ... love the search possibility :)

Inconvénients

not much ... though would be nice if you could download the stats to excel

Avantages

Everything about Paperturn is simple and sleek. It's upload and go. You can't ask for anything better

Inconvénients

The pricing is my only challenge. It's not like you pay for one time price for your upload and for beginners it's a little stretch on the budget.

Avantages

For a very reasonable cost, our non-profit organisation has been able to have an annual publication hosted on Paperturn for easy access by thousands of users. The front-end UI is attractive and the back-end management of our publication has been simple and efficient. In the past we have taken down our publications on other portals after a couple of months to save on costs, but this year we decided to leave it up and running because the costs are so manageable. The stats are incredibly insightful for understanding the impact of your publications.

Inconvénients

I don’t have anything negative to say in particular. The settings dialogue box for individual publications is a bit ordinary, but it’s functional.
