Dynamite Webinar

Marcus — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:49:34 +0000

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

WEBINAR – Digital Magazines 2008: Shift in Technology, Shift in Psychology

Marcus — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:24:54 +0000

Once, digital magazines were viewed as a transitional technology.
Now, it’s clear that adoption rates for digital magazines keep growing
as more and more publishers, advertisers and readers come to see the
value of the format. And technical capabilities have improved. What was
once used as a cost-saving device has emerged as an intriguing hybrid
model–combining useful elements of print and online. In this Webinar
we explore why there was a shift in how these products are perceived
and how publishers are leveraging digital editions in new and
profitable ways.
