Clickable Paper bridges the offline-online gap, offering immersive, interactive brand experiences via an intuitive interface that doesn’t require special markings on the page itself. To access clickable content, users need simply to download the free mobile app and snap a picture of a clickable hotspot. To create a more immersive and enduringly effective reading experience, “The 25 Best Print Sales Tips Ever!” embraced AR to take a deeper dive into topics like prospecting, time management, and overcoming objections.
“AR-enhanced print is making waves throughout the industry. It’s transforming print into a truly digital experience by extending the longevity of printed campaigns, creating more engaging brand experiences, and making responding to print call-to-actions easier than ever,” said Farquharson. “The interactivity and updateability are excellent additions for direct mail campaigns, signage and other types of promotional print, but the opportunity in the book market is incredible, too. The amplified content addresses the broad spectrum of readers’ learning styles, and allows the author to continue to provide dynamic, relevant digital content well after the words go to print and the pages are dog-eared. I’m excited to see where AR takes books, and I’m proud to be a part of the wave.”
