Preparing your PDFs for the best user experience

It’s easy to upload your PDFs to your FlickRocket shop, but there are some things you can do to prepare your PDFs before uploading to provide the best experience for the user.

The following are some recommendations to improve the customer experience when using your PDFs:

Using Content Access by Invitation

There are scenarios where you might want to provide content to new or existing customers without asking them to purchase or redeem an unlock code. For example, you want to provide all attendees of a conference with a video of the event, or all reviewers with a new eBook, or perhaps you need to provide digital textbooks to all students enrolled in a course. This feature allows you to do just that… import a list of emails and products with the desired license and FlickRocket will automatically create the account, add the content, and send an email with access information …

Using your own sub domain

The Shop Domain is the web address of your shop. Most publishers use a sub domain of their own domain with the sub domain name of "shop". For example: shop.alliesaudiobooks.com. This keeps the web address showing your domain and makes it easier to direct your customers to your shop.

Offering Multi-user Licenses

The Multi-user license makes it easy to sell or rent content for an entire class or group with a single purchase… and reduced costs for you. This is ideal for schools, companies, and organizations where many users need access to content, but the order is placed by a purchasing agent. For example, a teacher could license a video or book for use by a whole school class of 30 students.You determine the number of users and the cost for each multi-user license. 

Using Mailing Lists

This feature allows importing a mailing list to automatically send out unique unlock codes, gift certificates, or discount codes. For example, a mailing list could be used for distributing digital textbooks to all students enrolled in a course or you send a follow-up email with a discount code to leads gathered at conferences… and all this can be completed in minutes.

Let’s look at the process…  

Offering Product Variations

None

Have you ever wondered how to set up complex physical or service products with FlickRocket? Products which have multiple different properties, such as color and size? Of which not all possible combinations may exist? Well, the “Variations” product has you covered – find out below on how to set it up properly.
