Are consumer magazines dead? Yes ….. and no! It’s all in how (and where) you look at it.
Jewel of the Maine Coast, the signature publication of the Camden-Rockport-Lincolnville Chamber of Commerce, is now also available in an interactive electronic edition. Just launched via the Chamber’s website, www.visitcamden.com, the “flip book” Jewel makes it easy to check upcoming events, locate shops and restaurants, plan entertainment and recreation, and link instantly to many Chamber members’ websites–all from your desktop or smartphone.
Navigating a flip book is intuitive and fun. To read the digital magazine, use the Next and Back arrows or point your cursor arrow at any corner to flip from page to page. In a hurry? Browse page thumbnails, jump to a story or business category from the table of contents, or search by name or key word. Faster still, inline links connect to each Jewel advertiser’s home page in just one click.
E-zines have other benefits: You can zoom contents up to twice original size for custom legibility or share pages by email to friends or any social networking site.
Read by more than 120,000 people each year, the 128-page, four-color Jewel of the Maine Coast is a free, valuable resource to area residents as well as visitors. Read the flip book edition at www.visitcamden.com, or pick up a printed copy at the Rockport-Camden-Lincolnville Chamber of Commerce, 2 Public Landing, Camden, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call 207-236-4404 to receive a copy by mail.
