Very functional and it works

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: I do broschures twice a year, and share them with my customers.

Pros:

Paperturn is really easy to use, and it works. Once you have your pdf ready, it is a question of a few minutes and there you are, your book-reading-pdf is ready to be shared.

Cons:

The fees are a bit too high, I would prefer to have a fee per order, not per month.

Comments: Customer service is excellent, Paperturn has become critical in our flyer releases

Pros:

The shopping cart feature has been immensely helpful in being able to target more ordering options to our customers. Bulk import is a huge time saver.

Cons:

Wish there were more diverse pricing features with the shopping cart, sale prices or "buy 2 for this price" option.

Comments: I set up our 108 page catalogue and regularly overwrite pages when they need updating. so much quicker than reuploading the entire catalogue.

Pros:

It's very attractive for our customers to use and we can open the catalogue directly in our website. so easy to use and good features

Cons:

I really have no cons that I can think of!

Paperturn

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Being able to update and overwrite documents without changing links is a lifesaver - our brochure often contains details of recurring events, so we can update dates and re-upload copies without having to go share a new link.

Cons:

Users have reported that the accessibility functions are not ideal for those with limited vision.

Very useful tool

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

The most useful feature for us is versioning. When we update a brochure, the link to the file remains the same so our customers who have been sent URLs in the past will always be presented with the most up to date materials. At the same time, we can also revert to a previous copy if there are issues with any of the content or products.

Cons:

The interface for adding interactive elements is not particularly intuitive.

Paperturn is great for immediate brand exposure!

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

We use Paperturn for our digital brochure and pricelist. We are a B2B company, and we love how easy it is to send these digital copies out to our customer data base... it's instant communication and it saves us money on printing and distribution costs. Our customers can also easily share our digital brochure, with their own customers. So it's a double-win for us. And the best thing is, if there is a change to our pricing or product line, we just make the adjustments within the Paperturn platform - and we know that our customers, and their customers, immediately have access to the new and updated information - without us having to specifically communicate it to them. We also love that we can share fun videos of our products in use. And we keep an eye on our statistics to find out what products are the most popular, and where we can improve. There is a whole wealth of information we can gather from our new digital brochure and pricelist. We really love using Paperturn.

Cons:

We did some research in the beginning and found that Paperturn is a bit more expensive when we did a competitor comparison. We actually stopped our subscription and went for a cheaper option. But we only lasted two months before we went back to Paperturn. The system is so easy to use, and their customer service is superb. It's worth the little bit of extra money.

The greatest flipbook we used!

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: After searching for multiple flipbooks on the internet for our new catalogue, Paperturn has been able to draw our attention from its modern and clean design! Its very intuitive use allows quick installation of the elements. To allow us to integrate links is very practical to us in the sale of our products! I particularly love being able to know where the views of our catalogue come from all over the world, these are data that are really interesting and important to us! That’s why I strongly recommend using Paperturn!

Pros:

I love this software for its ease of use as well as all the options that make it possible to set up contents!

Cons:

The statistics are sometimes very long to load can regardless of the medium used. But it’s quite good! The possibility of transferring links from one flipbook to another would be awesome.

Exactly what we needed

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Paperturn helped our team of non-tech savvy real estate sales professionals into a virtual powerhouse. We suddenly have a virtual solution for our increasingly virtual sales world. If 2020 taught us anything, it's that virtual needs to be your default with in-person activities as a supplement (not the other way around), and Paperturn allows us to do that for all of our (formerly printed) marketing materials.

Pros:

First off, it was so simple to get up and running here. I'd been doing research for about a week on different companies/options, and when we finally decided on Paperturn we were able to show off results within 10 minutes. What's more, our sales team was able to start using the virtual PDFs immediately—something that was absolutely essential given how quickly we had to pivot to digital service offerings. Paperturn helped us jump into the virtual world with very

Cons:

Some of the UI (both behind the scenes and for the end-user) feels a bit out of date. I'm having a hard time explaining exactly what I mean here, but in general there are just a lot of icons and options that undermine the intuitive "get up and running as quickly as possible" aspect that I praised in the Pros section.

Paperturn Is A GREAT Product!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, I'm very pleased. Once a return begins to occur, this will serve as one of the best tools I can use to get my content to people across the world.

Pros:

Everything about Paperturn is simple and sleek. It's upload and go. You can't ask for anything better

Cons:

The pricing is my only challenge. It's not like you pay for one time price for your upload and for beginners it's a little stretch on the budget.

Easy To Use, Functional, Best Service

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: We launched an international e-Book viewed in 39 countries and reports are very good thus far all over. We are able to capture data and email addresses easily as well. The customer service at Paperturn is the among the best we have ever encountered. Even though we are in a completely opposite time zone, we receive timely responses and they always respond with good assistance which is helpful.

Pros:

Once we uploaded our file, it was seamless. We were able to add links, art, even change pages and make corrections very easily. Online, it just worked well and continues to flipping smoothly. This is the best page turn we have used and I used to be a publisher of large magazines.

Cons:

We purchased a custom url for our pageturn but currently the system does not allow for our simple domain but includes extra letters. It is my understanding this is something already in process of release soon.
