Why Tablet Magazines?
The case for tablet magazines Unprecedented tablet adoption rates have completely changed the landscape for magazine readership and distrubtion. Now your organization has a tremendous opportunity to entertain, educate, engage and motivate qualified consumers by providing an interactive publication that goes deeper than print. Tablet ownership has quickly expanded with over 100 million iPads sold to date, and 750 million Android device activations already in place. Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, forecasts worldwide tablet shipments will total 197 million units in 2013. Reach and engage more readers and customers Tablet magazines enable you to broaden your base of loyal readers and customers. Now you can create captivating layouts, graphics, illustrations, embedded forms and interactive elements to deepen the engagement with your target audience. According to a study from The Association of Magazine Media, reading times and interactions for tablet magazines are extremely high. The median time spent reading tablet-style magazines is two hours in a typical week, and 86 percent of readers access the same issue multiple times. Think different With the explosive adoption of tablets as a media consumption and sharing device, it is time to think differently about your audience. Tablet magazines provide deeper reader engagement through interactive content, integration to social share options and real-time content feeds from your website. The once ubiquitous term of “consuming content,” is now turned to circulating and sharing your content. Today, a single reader becomes a portal to hundreds or even thousands of other potential customers. Understand your audience’s behaviors Tablet magazine analytics enable you to capture and apply key insights to improve content and further engage and captivate your reader. Analytics provides you with actionable, real-time intelligence about your digital strategies and marketing initiatives. Additionally, analytics help you quickly identify the most engaging elements within your publication; how much time is spent on edit, video and interactive elements; determine where visitors are navigating away from the tablet magazine; and identify other critical success metrics.

How It Works
Transforming content into an engaging and actionable publication The tablet magazine platform enables you to create your own custom publication by replicating your existing material or creating something totally unqiue from scratch. You can further enhance your tablet magazine by adding video, enhanced graphic images, slideshows, audio, animation, and other interactive elements to better immerse your audience in a total reader experience. Your tablet magazine can integrate social media, email, charts, and embedded forms to create a branded, fully customized publication that will enable your audience to take actionable steps. With these deeper integration points you can motivate your audience to sign up for a class, purchase a membership, sign up for an enewsletter, purchase something from your e-store or any prescribed action you desire. One of the key elements that creates an engaging tablet magazine is the use of interactive objects called content overlays, such as photo galleries, videos, forms, scrollable content, captions and other assets. Overlays consist of content and assets that lay on top of existing pages and are enabled by a simple touch.
