Widgets
CTN DIGITAL has an automated page flipping widget that can be embedded anywhere, flip any number of pages and lead directly to any page within the publication. This is superior for social network integration and blog insertions, ad space placements and general promotion in any web property.
The CTN book widget has multiple benefits for publishers & advertisers.
It adds value to any marketing campaign to include widgets and specific pages to be featured and linked directly, improving exposure and creating multiple touch-points. Such options did not sensibly exist for publications to engage in until now.

1) A visible page is a clickable link, click the widget and you will be taken to the page shown.
2) Navigation interaction: arrow buttons page turn for ease of interactive page selection.

CATALOG / BROCHURE ADVERTISING
Imagine your featured products displayed sequentially in this way, your product variety can be updated easily and remotely on hundreds of websites with the simple change of an entry in one XML file. Updates are a breeze. Also this allows one-day-only promotions to deploy without re-instantiating a new adcode or changing the overall size of the ad-buy or specification. ( Patent Pending )
If one item caught their eye they can flip back to it and directly engage that page in your CTN DIGITAL publication catalog. No other system of 300 x 250 promotional advertising can accomplish this exposure and high benefit result.
This Widget is deployed in “transparent” mode: its operation will integrate with any background webpage color scheme, highly optimized and low cpu-load and download bandwidth, webmaster-centric and simple enough for bloggers to easily embed.
Other options include:
1) Inclusion of video play shorts
2) Variable per-page display durations ( each page may have its own display time duration )
3) page specific animations can deliver extended message value.
The same sophisticated pre-cache system used in the PageBlend engine is included in this widget. Most of the same scaling PageBlend engine features are included also. See Below a downscaled example:
Referrer tracking also allows a website hosting such widgets to benefit dependent on which ad click leads to which page delivered by the widget, opening up a substantial value point opportunity for both in the process.
EXPANSION ADS
CTN has partners for creative deployment of expand-on-click and expand-on-mouseover versions of this widget to produce exceptionally sticky nano-site capability within an ad placement. Contact Sales for details.
