About SmartEdition

NewspaperDirect’s SmartEdition ePaper solution, powered by PressDisplay technology, fits every publisher’s needs for a digital edition that retains readers attention longer than their website, offers new revenue opportunities with better ROI than their website and all for zero operational cost.

With SmartEdition, customers benefit from anywhere/anytime access to current and back issues of their favorite publications, while publishers enjoy audited paid circulation, a more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly NIE and employee distribution program, and an innovative advertising platform (Adget) designed specifically for electronic editions and yields much higher ad revenues than traditional online models.

In addition, SmartEditions are available on more platforms than any other ePapers.  Not only do all SmartEditions run on PC and Mac platforms, they are available on mobile devices such as iPhones, Smart phones, BlackBerry and iPod devices, and the exciting new e-Readers that are hitting the markets today. Publishers can rest assured that their content will continue to be supported on new platforms as they are released such as the new Palm Pre Smartphone and other eReaders.

And if that is not enough…along with the many administrative, analytic, and reporting tools you get through NewspaperDirect, the company has developed specialized technology to help publishers manage their content and advertisers:

  • Reading Map technology allows publishers to analyze reading patterns throughout their publication, gaining valuable insight into what elements of the publication are most, and least read. 
  • Ad Value Map helps renew confidence in newspaper advertising by showing advertisers where and when to place ads in printed media in order to maximize exposure and ROI.

To top it all off, NewspaperDirect provides full hosting, payment acceptance and customer service management through our technical support at no cost to the publisher.

So what are you waiting for?  Just send us your PDF when you send it to your printer and start giving your readers what they want, when they want it, where they want it and how they want it.  It’s easy, effective and free.
