As a result, magazine and newspaper publishers that use WoodWing´s Digital Magazine Tools to create the iPad editions of their publications can now offer their readers convenient subscriptions through iTunes, opening up a new business opportunity.
WoodWing customers that are launching with support for subscriptions via iTunes include Axel Springer in Germany (AutoBild), Ringier in Switzerland (Schweizer Illustrierte), Sanoma in The Netherlands (VIVA, Autoweek ), RCS in Italy (Max per iPad, A per iPad, Abitare for iPad, Bravacasa, Dove), Falkemedia in Germany (Slide), Future Publishing in Great Britain (T3 Magazine), the French newsweekly Le Point and the fashion magazine Nylon from the U.S.
Integration of the iTunes subscription process in WoodWing´s Reader App
Tapping the “Subscribe” buttons now available in the Kiosk section of WoodWing´s Reader App takes the user to the iTunes Store to subscribe to the publication for a specific period of time. The user will be billed via the usual convenient iTunes process. When the financial transaction is completed, the user is granted access to the latest edition, in addition to all upcoming issues for the duration of the subscription. New issues automatically become available ready for download in the Kiosk section of the Reader App.
Once the time period ends, the subscription will automatically be renewed for the same period of time, unless the user cancels the subscription, which is also an easy process.
