What is a Flipbook or Digital Catalog?
An interactive flipbook or interactive digital catalog consists of interactive, page-turning pages. In fact, all paper-based documents such as reports, presentations, magazines, catalogs, brochures, books, and more can be transformed into HTML5 flipbooks (interactive digital page-turning pages).
All content, including catalogs, brochures, books, magazines, and various educational materials offered in PDF format, is no longer attractive to audiences in today's world and is considered an obsolete tool for marketing and sales; because due to their traditional nature, they are inefficient for analysis and reporting in the modern marketing world.
But what is required to use flipbooks or these digital and interactive brochures, and what assistance do flipbooks fundamentally provide in analyzing marketing statistics?
Is an Online Interactive Flipbook Better Than a PDF File?
To answer this question, it is better to compare the features of both. First, online flipbooks can be viewed instantly online, unlike PDF files which require the user to download the document before viewing it. Also, online flipbooks possess a set of insightful statistics and analytics regarding performance, whereas PDF files lack this capability.
Another advantage of an interactive flipbook is that if you make a mistake in your online flipbook, you can simply edit it. After your edits are applied and the content is approved by Lenoos, your interactive flipbook is updated, and without any need to change your catalog link, the user immediately views your new content. However, after applying changes to a PDF file, you first need to replace the old file with the new one, then upload it again to an environment or resend the attachment.
Another benefit of an interactive flipbook is that you can exercise more creativity by adding video to it, presenting more information to the audience in a short period. Ultimately, online flipbooks give you the opportunity to add many interactive features that are available in the Lenoos features list.
Therefore, if we want to enumerate the advantages of an interactive flipbook over a PDF file, we must say that an interactive flipbook:
- Is viewed instantly online
- Has the capability to receive diverse reports
- Can be edited in real-time and online
- Can have video content added to it
- Has no publication limitations
- Has proper support services and updates
- Has negligible server performance errors
- Lacks application installation and download issues
