Texterity Launches Best Practices Group

Helps Publishers Generate Revenue, Build Circulation and Expand International Business

SOUTHBOROUGH, MA - September 19, 2006 – Texterity, a leading provider of digital publishing solutions, has formed a Best Practices Group to help publishers increase revenue, build circulation and generate or expand their international subscription base. Texterity’s new program maximizes a publisher’s digital publishing investment by leveraging the marketing and promotional potential of digital editions.

The Best Practices group will offer the following programs:

  • Web site optimization analysis. Texterity analyzes how a publisher is promoting their digital editions on the web and provides a report offering suggestions on how to improve the digital opt-in rate.
  • Circulation-building programs. Texterity will review existing promotional plans and make optimization recommendations or Texterity will structure a custom circulation-building plan that includes programs such as free digital trials, instant sampling or send-to-a-friend. In addition, Texterity’s staff provides templates that customers can use to create their own on-line ads or Texterity can create a simple custom ad.
  • E-mail marketing. Texterity offers notification templates that engage subscribers and increase open rates. Texterity also offers turnkey planning and execution of e-mail campaigns to strengthen a publisher’s brand and identify prospective subscribers.
  • International growth. Digital editions offer the opportunity to cost-effectively expand, or begin offering, international subscriptions. This enables publishers to tap into a new pool of prospective subscribers and offer immediate, cost-effective international delivery.
  • Revenue optimization. Texterity will review a publisher’s entire digital program and make recommendations on how the plan can be refined, expanded or made more profitable. This includes everything from suggested improvements such as on-line subscription renewals with auto-renewal bonuses, or adding sponsorships and multimedia advertising. Furthermore, Texterity can even provide the publisher’s sales team with tools such as digital media kits, sample ads or templates.

“One of the most pressing concerns our publishing customers face is time. While many publishers want to take advantage of the promotional value and circulation-building benefits of digital editions, they lack the time and resources to execute these programs,” stated Martin Hensel, president of Texterity. “The Best Practices Group provides our customers with a roadmap so they can optimize their digital programs. Publishers can also choose to outsource this function to Texterity and we can provide the expert staff to assist them in the optimization process. Texterity provides our customers with a measurable, cost-effective way to gain the expertise and man-power necessary to maximize the ROI for their digital editions.”
