Exclusive Webinar Invitation, Take 2

Wow – response to our exclusive webinar invitation last week was impressive as much for the quality of the respondents as the quantity. Honestly, we could’ve used the names to field an All-Star Digital Publishing Team, so thank you to those who expressed interest.

Because it’s summer vacation season, we’re going to post the invitation one last time. Next week, we’ll let you know if you’ve been chosen to attend this very limited-attendance event. If you’ve already responded, no need to do so again:

 

How would you like to get a glimpse into the future of digital publishing? Better yet, how would you like to be a part of it?

On Thursday, September 9th, Nxtbook Media will be holding an exclusive webinar at 2pm EST, entitled Nxt Mags – Future Visions of the Digital Edition.

What will it feature?
Not 1, not 2 but 3 different concepts of future versions of the digital magazine.
We’ll introduce you to each one, discuss the intended use and audiences for each and invite you to give your input on these never-before-seen concepts.

Why is this event different?
This isn’t just a webinar, but also an opportunity for you to help the shape our future offerings. All attendees must submit to an interview in the days following the webinar, where we’ll elicit detailed feedback on what you liked and what you didn’t like and which visions are the brightest in your opinion. If you’re not looking to engage with us about the products, this probably isn’t an event for you.

Sounds like a lot of interviews…
Not really. The number of people attending will be small – quite small – and will be hand chosen by us. I won’t tell you how small, because if I did, you might not think you’d get in, but you shouldn’t think that way! We’re looking for a good cross section of long-time customers, short-time customers and even a few non-customers, but here’s the thing: it won’t be a big list. The quality of the feedback we’ll be getting is infinitely more important than the quantity.

Would you like to attend?
Great, keep in mind:
1. You must be available September 9 at 2pm EST.
2. You must agree to a 10-15 minute interview in the days following the webinar.
3. You must write mgrimm [AT] nxtbookmedia.com and answer the following question: Why I want to attend Nxt Mags – Future Visions of the Digital Edition.

Questions? Feel free to call me direct at 717-735-9756. We hope to see you there!

Last Day to Sign Up!

Today is the last day to sign up for Nxtbook Media’s webinar, Screen Wars: Navigating the e-Reader Marketplace, airing Thursday, June 17, 2:00pm EST.

Publishers have never before been faced with so many e-Reader choices, but last we checked, you only had 24 hours in your day and hardly unlimited budgets.  This webinar will provide an in-depth look into a myriad of devices.  We’ll ponder the iPads, consider the Kindle, and be bemused by BlackBerries – all in less than an hour.  You can reserve your spot now by clicking here

 

 

We Tend to Agree

How do you define success?  If you’re a catalog publisher, you might say it’s good circulation, brand awareness, and sales.  We tend to agree.

One week from today, Nxtbook Media will listen in as two clients talk about how they are cutting costs and reaching more readers with digital catalogs.  Join us on June 16, 2010 at 2:00pm EST for the webinar "Flipping Over Digital Catalogs" featuring the following:

  Wayne Gale – Stoke Seeds – Third generation president Wayne Gale describes his success in using digital media to distribute his catalog internationally and link his products directly to his purchasing site.  (See an example here.)

   John Cortez – Shaklee – Listen and engage as John Cortez describes how his business uses digital catalogs to cut costs, jump revenue, and increase reader interaction. (See an example here.)

Learn from those on the front lines of the industry.  See for yourself what works when it comes to digital catalogs, and start your own success story.  (Register here.)

Josh Gordon, Peter Houston Hit the Ball Out of the Park.

If you missed an awesome webinar with Josh Gordon and Peter Houston this week (due to it being held at 2pm BRITISH time), no worries. Here’s the link for the archive for the event, which was put on by Fipp.

Webinar Reminder

Digital Magazine Success Stories: What Works, What Doesn’t, will be held next week. Starring Josh Gordon and Peter Houston, you’ll hear about Josh’s study and hear from a publisher with a few digital-optimized editions.

Keep in mind this one is being held at a convenient time for our European friends, so it’s 2pm UK time, 9am on the East Coast, etc. So kick back with a cup of coffee (or tea) and join us!

Dynamite Webinar

Two Nxtbook customers did an outstanding job telling their digital publishing stories at a webinar produced by University Business magazine last week.

From the description:

Digital Viewbooks, Alumni Magazines and More: Bringing Your Print Materials Online

In the past few years, higher education marketing professionals
have increasingly been turning to new digital publishing technology as
a way to reach their audiences. Digital publishing reaches more people
than print at a fraction of the cost, while allowing the inclusion of
video and other multi-media. The end result is a dynamic product with
cutting edge analytics than can be shared across all forms of social
media.
Join Web Seminar Editor J.D. Solomon and a panel of higher education
professionals using digital publishing for a discussion of topics such
as:
•How digital viewbooks and alumni magazines differ from Web-based
versions
•What makes digital publishing different from print and websites
•How to best promote your latest projects to the Facebook crowd
•How digital publishing provides metrics impossible to find in print
There is no fee to attend thanks to sponsorship by Nxtbook Media.
Presentations by: Peter Field – Director of Business Development,
RE:CREATIVE Sherri Miles – Director of Communications, Suffolk
University

Nxtbook 3.0 is Here! (Almost)

Later this month, the official version of Nxtbook 3.0 will be released. You’ve heard us blog about it, watched the videos and probably have even seen it, but now it’s your turn to treat your readers (and advertisers) to the coolest Nxtbook, yet.

To bring you up to speed with 3.0, we’re please to announce a special clients-only webinar where you’ll have the ability to see everything you’re dying to know about 3.0, including:

* What you can expect to hear from your readers regarding the new interface

* What new revenue generation opportunities are available to you

* How to utilize enhanced tracking

* How to grow circulation specifically with 3.0

* What you need to do to ensure your files look awesome in Nxtbook 3.0

* Much, much more!

The webinar will be held Wed. June 24th, at 2pm (EDT). Though we’ve done dozens of webinars, this one’s a little special: it’s the first clients-only one, and the first opportunity you’ll have to ask questions surrounded by other Nxtbook customers. It’s going to be great! Register for the webinar here.
