Top magazine publishers leverage NewspaperDirect’s advanced proven technology, multi-channel/multi-platform support, and global delivery network to grow their audience and engage new readers.
London (PRWEB) May 29, 2012
After adding numerous enhancements aimed at optimizing its technology for the latest high-definition tablets, NewspaperDirect (ND) is witnessing unprecedented demand from magazine publishers for its ePublishing solutions. Publishers of all sizes and types of content worldwide are recognizing that ND’s years of investment in developing innovative technology, faster processing capabilities, and a superior user interface for newspapers is exactly what they need in order to offer a more compelling digital experience to their readers. Today, of the 2,700+ publications available on ND’s global distribution network, more than 250 of them are magazines.
According to Nikolay Malyarov, VP of publishing and legal affairs, the combination of superior technology and a large and loyal global audience are two key reasons why magazines are adopting ND solutions. “For years, we’ve been synonymous with digital newspaper publishing — more specifically with digital replicas. And although industry pundits dismissed replicas not so long ago, the fact is that readers are embracing, and willing to pay for, enhanced digital replicas of their favorite publications —much more than repurposed web content or PDFs. We give readers what they want – the content they love on whatever screen they chose to read it. And our millions of readers want newspapers and magazines.”
“Working with NewspaperDirect´s team is one of the best experiences I've had. We have created a remarkable product that offers replicas of our newspapers and magazines of the highest quality,” said Ezequiel Fonseca Zas, business manager at La Nación Digital. “Kiosco La Nación is one of the paths our company is taking to innovate in the world of publishing. We have 142 years of history and we were looking for 100 more! NewspaperDirect is a strategic partner in that journey.”
Unlike other digital newsstands, which only offer individual subscriptions to publications, ND’s PressReader app, and its online service, PressDisplay.com, distribute thousands of B2C and B2B publications to millions of daily readers — with just one subscription.
“Our solutions offer unique advantages to magazine publishers,” said Malyarov. “First, our one-subscription all-content access approach presents their publications to millions of readers who return daily to read the latest newspaper issues published every minute of every day. Second, with PressReader’s recommended and related articles, magazine brands and content are continually brought to our subscribers’ attention long after their original day of publication, increasing audited circulation and the shelf life of magazines. Third, we instantly expand their global audience in thousands of libraries, corporations, governments, hotels, aviation facilities, cruise ships, and luxury yachts. And finally, we offer a fully customizable, platform-agnostic ePublishing solution for their branded digital editions and applications, offering both replica and non-replica reading options and a wealth of innovative digital features for their subscribers to enjoy.”
