Using Stories to elevate your digital magazine brand
Creating Visual Stories and Article Stories with the Issuu Story Cloud helps bring readers back to your publication and boost overall sales. Article Stories and Visual Stories are perfect for sharing snippets of long-form content and capturing audiences across social media and the web. Draw readers in with a glimpse into your work! Here’s how they work:
Article Stories
The Story feature helps convert articles into stories for mobile scrolling and reading, as opposed to full publication flipbooks. Mobile optimization of individual stories allows you to promote more content from the same publication. The use of social sharing helps drive sales and engagement.
With Issuu Visual Stories, you can convert existing Article Stories and create engaging video Stories from them. These can be shared just as easily as Stories themselves, and work even better on certain platforms like Instagram and Snap. Sharing is easier than ever now that the Issuu Story Cloud converts all Visual Stories into AMP format. This means that your article loads faster and is searchable all across the web. Google search promotes AMP stories on a special media carousel, which vastly increases the visibility of your content.
Visual Stories are teasers that showcase your published content or promote your brand and products optimized for all social platforms–especially Instagram and Facebook stories.
The advantage here is that you can share whatever you’re teasing across all social platforms easily. Essentially, you’re creating an ad for yourself that you can send to all your followers (and others, if you choose to promote it)
While Issuu Stories offers the unique ability to market your content creatively, you can unlock its full potential by pairing Stories with all of Issuu’s other publisher tools. Together, they can help drive sales and build your online presence. With the Issuu Story Cloud, sharing and distributing a digital magazine is easier than ever.
