Pricing Models and Methods of Digital Content Production

The 9 Advanced Technical Features of Lenoos: Beyond a Simple Flipbook
To overcome the limitations of PDF files and traditional flipbooks, the Lenoos platform offers its users a set of advanced features:
- 1. Advanced Multimedia Support: The ability to insert rich, interactive content including video (in-place or popup), audio and narration, panoramic images, 3D models, and animations. This capability significantly improves the user experience (UX).
- 2. Multiple Outputs: In addition to the web (HTML5) output, it's possible to receive installable application versions for Android (APK) and iPhone (iOS). This feature greatly reduces the heavy cost of custom app development.
- 3. Enterprise Integration (ERP/CRM): The ability to connect and exchange sales, inventory, and customer data with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. This connection enables internal process optimization and real-time product information updates.
- 4. تحليل البيانات اللحظي (Real-time Analytics): Provides analytical dashboards with precise statistics on visits, customer feedback, keywords searched within the catalog, and visitor geographic location. It also offers the ability to connect to Google Analytics for more comprehensive analysis.
- 5. Lead Generation and Direct Sales Capability: Insert various online order forms and collect customer contact information (leads), or create an internal shopping cart to complete orders directly through the catalog.
- 6. Instant Updates Without Link Changes: The "Replace File" capability allows for immediate content updates (like price or inventory) without needing to change the URL or send a new link to customers.
- 7. Security and Controlled Distribution: The ability to define access levels, encryption, and watermarking for content. It also provides fixed-file outputs for offline access and use at exhibitions.
- 8. SEO-Based Optimization: The text content of the Lenoos smart flipbook is read by search engines, helping to boost the ranking of your digital pages.
- 9. Personalization Capability: Create separate, personalized versions for each customer or target group (such as offering different prices to premium customers).
The Role of Lenoos Electronic Publications in Branding and Scalability
An electronic publication created with Lenoos acts as more than just a product advertisement; it is recognized as a strategic tool in branding and organizational scalability:
- Multilingual Brand Storytelling: Thanks to its support for multilingual content, organizations can present their story, services, or products in different languages. This is important not only for foreign customers but also for branding among diverse internal languages and cultures.
- Ensuring Access and Scalability: Unlike print publications where circulation is the only way to measure audience, electronic publications allow for viewing the exact number of readers, popular content sections, and time spent on a page. This data guarantees more accurate planning for future content production.
