http://www.prestimedia.com/index.php/en/highlights-facebook-i-love-it/

New uses are appearing

"I love it" allows an Internet user to publish and forward a link on specific content within an interactive catalogue and offer new uses "2.0".

Similarly, along the same lines, you can now, for example:

• share holiday ideas
• share decorating ideas
• share ideas on all sorts of products
• share editorial content
  
  The list of uses is indefinite.

Advertisers save money

An interactive catalogue, sometimes also called “e-brochure”, “e-catalogue”, “virtual catalogue” is a faithful, interactive reproduction of a paper catalogue on a device, which can be called up on a computer connected to the internet, or a DVD Rom or a USB stick.

Prestimedia® interactive catalogues are equipped with advanced functions rendering the content very interactive.

By having an interactive catalogue, an advertiser can potentially make savings on printing and circulation fees, whilst also looking after the environment.

Advertisers optimise their referencing

Thanks to "I love it" advertisers are going to be able to develop their netlinking and, by doing so, their referencing and, thus, their popularity.

It’s an undeniable plus point.

This new function is of interest to the marketing directors, head of project marketing, communications agency, Web agency.

World record ? Without a doubt ...

• The Radiospares interactive catalogue created by Prestimedia contains 140 000 product references.
• Each product reference in the interactive catalogue contains a link that points to the product page on the web site
• The 140 000 references point towards the 140 000 product pages on the Radiospares web site
• The Prestimedia production teams worked for 2 months to create this 5.446 pages interactive catalogue that is without a doubt a world record.

Exclusive features for this out of the ordinary interactive catalogue.
2 precise examples:

• « Zones in zones »: the product references that add up to 140 000 are presented as tables, each table being an interactive zone. Inside these zones, each table line is then separated individually and contain the link to the product page on the web site.
• « Search engin + »: predictive (it suggests the keywords after typing 2 or more characters) and multi-word, the engine not just finds the content, it also emphasis each word on the page and takes the plurals into account.

What is an interactive catalogue ?

An interactive catalogue, sometimes called “e-brochure”, “e-catalogue”, “virtual catalogue” is a one on one reproduction of a paper catalogue in a digital format that can be accessed with an internet connected computer, from a DVD Rom or an USB key.

The Prestimedia interactive catalogues have advanced features that allow the user to zoom each product, allow quick access to the product pages using links, allow searching using a very powerful predictive search engine, but also allow sharing on Facebook, interaction with the e-commerce basket of a web site...

The interactive catalogue respects the environment: no ink, no chemicals, no transportation, no paper...

What is the interest for a distributor like Radiospares ?

« We were searching for a way to optimise the penetration of our paper catalogue while guaranteeing our clients quick, easy and practical access to our offer » says Jean-Christophe Lainé, Marketing Director. « One of the problems we had to face in the beginning, was the extent of our offer. We had to be capable to give access to over 140 000 product references using a tool that resembled our state of the art paper catalogue, that is considered today a bile dedicated to the electronics and industry professionals » continues Jean-Christophe Lainé.

On the other hand, Radiospares started a Durable Development program 3 years ago: the interactive catalogue that Prestimedia proposes fully answers this demand and integrates with the e-commerce distributor strategy of Radiospares – that receives more than 52% of its commands through its e-commerce solutions.

« Moreover, we hope that this solution will allow us to reach an even greater number of internet issued commands ».
concludes Jean-Christophe Lainé
