1. REVIEW: Read What We Do, reviewing our FAQ’s, and viewing a demo, to get a feel for the product and why a customer would want to purchase.

2. STRATEGY: Choose - provide a white-label service from Flip Page, or refer customers to Flip Page (and receive your commission). We're happy to work with you, either way.

3. SALES: Plan your sales process. We suggest some (or all) of the below:

Include the cost of the online publication directly in the quote

Show the cost of the online publication as an extra

Use the online publication as a promotional tool to sell more print

Your greatest opportunity lies in offering an electronic upgrade with every outgoing quote; it creates product and affordability awareness - positioning you as a valuable partner.

Sample

Here is what one successful reseller does:

"We sell this offering in one of two ways:

1) it is included in the estimate or

2) it is shown on the estimate as an extra.

This gives me complete control of my margin against my fixed cost for this service. It has not only won me jobs because of this offering but it has taken the focus off the price of the print job and given it more of a “full service solution estimate”.

Results

In our first 3 months of offering this “Value Added” E-version service, we added over $30,000.00 in volume for files we were already receiving for the print job. We were looking for diversification and extra offerings for our clients and the timing on this product could not have been more perfect.

This has breathed new life into our sales force and given them a reason to revisit their regular and old accounts. We will be pushing to do $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 in E-version volume in our first year.

With absolutely no sign up fees or software to manage or work to do, this made the decision very simple to offer this E-version service.

FAQS

Q: What format do my files need to be in, to convert to Flip Page?

A: Easy! Here's an quick check-list. Your files must:

Be a PDF, and the pages must flow numerically (so we can export one document, in the correct order)

Have RGB colour schemes, for optimum colour (CMYK works, but may appear washed out)

Have a minimum DPI of 200; the higher, the better

Fix Transparencies – High Resolution ??

Contain an equal/even number of pages (even if the last one is blank)

Have embedded fonts. Note: underlining or false italics are typically not "embedded" fonts

Have no "masked text"… hidden layers will be brought to the top layer during the conversion process. Please remove all masked text if you would like to use the vector converter.

Have eliminated any bleeds, gutters, or crop marks (you can use the crop box function in PDF)

Note: Flip Page will automatically link URL’s and email addresses (if the text has not been vectorized or flattened). Our converter just needs to be able to select, cut and paste your text for autolinking and search functionality. Therefor, text outlines and raster images are not suggested.

Specialty pages & sizes are also supported – let's talk if you have questions about these.
