The publishing world is finally starting to merge with the new technology and the next wave coming down the pike is the digital or PDF flash magazine. The electronic format of magazines with PDF flash allows readers to view content on their laptop or PC screen and turn the pages with a click of the mouse. Similar to an eBook, a PDF flash magazine offers easy to read content but with all the flash and dazzle of a typical magazine with all those enticing ads designed to lure the reader into day dreams of a better, or at least more fashionable, lifestyle.

Readers are not only able to read the pages of a magazine they can interact with it. A typical PDF flash magazine will let you zoom in allowing you to examine the background of a photo or to see the article in larger print. It also offers options such as emailing the article or page to a friend or loved one or you even to print it out if you are a more tactile person.

Of course, the real advantage, at least for marketers, is that a PDF flash magazine can link to video, websites and audio files so that the imagination of the reader is fully engaged. A reader drawn to a humorous ad for insurance, for instance, can actually post a comment on the ad and/or view an additional video all with the click of the mouse.

In fact, many of the nation’s most widely recognized publications are already offering digital versions of their magazines. Titles such as “Good House Keeping”, “Time” and “Popular Mechanics” have already made the leap and readily available in a digital format.

The best news for new and smaller publishers is that this new technology is readily available. Companies such as Quality Publisher are now offering to turn existing print files into digital flash players and that really opens up the options for smaller publications. Small publishers now have the option of converting their existing magazine(s) into a flip PDF flash magazine without investing a lot of time and effort. Any publisher with a PDF file can literally turn their magazine into an interactive digital piece in just a few minutes.

What makes the PDF flash magazine option a stand out is that all of this interaction truly is a draw for advertisers. Companies are always looking for ways to draw visitors to their sites and the click through approach available through this format has web traffic written all over it. So, not only is the PDF flash magazine cool and trendy, it actually offers the possibility of increasing revenue. This is great news for the publishing world after all the doom and gloom of the past few years here is a product/technology that actual offers the opportunity to not all continue but even to expand publication. To all would be and existing publisher head the call the next wave is here and it is time to embrace it.
