Online publications today are commonly a PDF file that users download, open, flip and search.

Types of online publications include simple PDFs, flipbooks, marketing flyers, promotional ads, and product catalogs. Online publications can be opened on all types of devices that consumers use. By adding video, audio, rich imagery, 3D and 360 views publications become more engaging, inspiring and available on web sites and used thru links via social and messaging platforms.

xCircular takes online publications from their interactive level into the ecommerce. We do that by adding promotional and product information that enable shoppers to easily select items into their list or cart, auto-calculate their discounts and sale prices, and then checkout. By adding interactivity and clickability to ordinary publications we improve the customer experience, increase the number of shopping transactions and save significant time in the process.

Unlike passive PDF files that users can paginate and read, an interactive document embeds videos, images, links, 360 views of products and add shopping carts to it. Interactive documents include clickable hotspots, they draw more traffic, longer user engagement and they increase conversions.

Most publications today provide passive information to their readers. For example readers can search and read product information in a catalog. A transactional publication provides clickable hotspots and layers of information that help users make buying decisions and enable them to add items to a list for further action. Transactions you can fulfil using our publications include: Cart checkout, Place a Sales order, Request for Quote (RFQ), Request for Approval, Order now pickup later, and more.

The checkout step can be customized per publication in a variety of ways.

In a retail promotional flyer or weekly ad for example, the product list could be sent to the customer’s ecommerce site for payment and delivery home.

In a B2B product catalog the checkout step would email a selected product list to customer service for fulfilment, or email to the sales rep to request for a quote prior to the purchase.

In a supermarket that uses social media to engage customers, shoppers could save time by ordering a list of deli items and come later to pick them up.

In a restaurant, guests can scan a QR code to open a digital engaging menu on their phone, decide what to order and save wait time.

For Subscribed users: Their publication will be removed at least 3 months after subscription is cancelled.

Only people with the publication link can view them. You are in control of this link’s distribution.
