Enriching the Purchasing Experience

Readers like browsing in bookstores. Replicating that experience online is the challenge. Ingram Digital meets this challenge by providing a ”Browse and Buy” feature so potential buyers at bookseller websites, search engines, social networks and publisher websites can search and view portions of your content -- while you control the usage rules.

A Viral Widget

Ingram Digital can enhance this buying experience with a "Browse and Buy" Widget. Like the “Browse and Buy” service for booksellers and publisher websites, the Widget allows customers to sample portions of a book prior to purchase, but widgets can also be “lifted” to post on blogs and social networking sites. Members of these social networking sites, people with common interests, or just casual search engine users can use the Widget to find, share and promote their favorite books. In fact, anyone with a web page can be a potential bookseller.

The Widget is great for

  • Taking advantage of the viral marketing opportunities
  • Driving traffic to and creating stickiness on retailer or publisher websites.
  • Collecting and analyzing data about books previewed to strategize future promotions and development.
