Prestimedia Launches the Integrated Shopping in Interactive Catalog On iPad

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 14, 2011

Prestimedia is a leader in the creation of interactive catalogs, backed by more than 17,000 interactive catalogs made for the web for larger brands. Today Prestimedia announces the significant evolution of its concept CustomPad dedicated to the tablet devices, primarily the iPad. http://www.prestimedia.com/index.php/en/custom-pad-modular/

Renowned specialist in the transformation of paper catalogs into interactive catalogs, Prestimedia expands its range of advanced features for the iPad with the new iShop module. CustomPad already features many modules, including Catalog, Store Locator, Video, Slideshow, Hot Spot, News and Web Content modules. With the addition of the iShop module, customers can shop directly from the CustomPad catalog application, without navigating between the app and websites.

The iShop module built into our CustomPad concept offers a new shopping experience: it is fast, fluid, and, above all, pleasurable, says Isabelle Ciacchella, head of Prestimedia Inc. CustomPad is, indeed, very simple and intuitive, which allows one to browse and buy from an iPad catalog from the comfort of ones couch.

Catalogs and iPads are a perfect combination: the growing number of aggregated apps for catalogs on the iPad is a proof. CustomPad takes the experience further with customized branded apps. The iPad is a magnificent setting for the communication of our customers; the return image of seduction of the CustomPad brand is significant, said Isabelle. The CustomPad app for the Becquet catalog is a good illustration: http://www.prestimedia.fr/index.php/en/becquet_1/

We cover all the market needs in the same way we do on the web: from simple information consultation, through the communication between website and catalog with well-placed hotspots, and integrated purchases. Critical information such as pricing and product availability is dynamically linked to the website and maintained in real time. It was already exclusively on the web; now it is the same on the iPad, explains Gauthier Paris, co-owner of Prestimedia.

Our philosophy is to integrate existing elements (PDFs, videos, etc.), and seamlessly interface them so our customers do not have to develop a specific ordering process that would be costly and time-consuming, adds Paris.

In Prestimedias iShop concept, the retailers shopping cart and ordering process are used to accommodate the orders generated by the catalog on the iPad.

This gives our CustomPad projects an unbeatable quality, price, and lead-time; just like the interactive catalog web projects we undertake with an unparalleled return quality, concludes Paris.

Online Shopping Tips for Graduation Season

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) May 4, 2010

Stadiums and arenas across the country will be booked with commencement ceremonies through May and June. Millions of high school and college students will walk across the stage and accept diplomas this year in front of proud parents, friends and loved ones. And more people than ever will turn to the Internet to shop for their perfect graduation gifts.

WildBlue Deals, an authorized dealer for WildBlue Communications a leader in high-speed satellite Internet - offers the following tips for finding thoughtful, affordable graduation gifts online.

Technology: What better way to start a new chapter in life than with a shiny new laptop, phone or television? Shopping for technology online gives customers access to information and reviews that brick-and-mortar retailers have a hard time matching. Check out review and consumer watch sites to compare prices and specifications in detail. And look for additional deals such as promo codes, free shipping or rebates.

Jewelry: Watches and engraved jewelry are classic graduation gifts, and shoppers can find big savings with online stores. Retailers who dont have to maintain storefronts can often pass those operational savings on to customers. Sites like bluenile.com offer high quality options, overnight shipping and generous return policies for easy exchanges and refitting.

Keepsakes: Picture-perfect memories have never been easier to capture. Thanks to online stores such as snapfish.com, digital photo albums can be transformed into a variety of gifts with the click of a mouse. Simply upload photos and turn them into DVDs, bound books, t-shirts, coasters or a variety of other options ranging from sentimental to hilarious.

Luggage: Briefcases and bags are practical gifts that give graduates a head start into the professional world. Of course, quality is of the utmost importance. Explore online designer discounts at shops like bluefly.com to get the brands that will endure.

Gift cards: When in doubt, gift cards are a sure-fire way to put a smile on a graduates face. Universal gift cards can be found through sites like giveanything.com, while online retailers such as Barnes and Noble, Amazon or even iTunes offer ways to prepay for items without leaving the comfort of home.

Of course, before purchasing online make sure the Internet connection being used is secure. Dial-up customers may want to switch to high-speed satellite Internet, which offers great speeds and security and can reach even the most remote areas.
