Marketing Construction products. Designing a PDF to Add value. It can be a golden opportunity to increase your business.


The first thing to sort out with any PDF is the look and the content.  Get these two things right and you are halfway there. But you also want to add value to your content don’t you? 

In the current market it’s vitally important to make your product or service the easiest to purchase or use.
Understanding your customer’s needs and applying this to your content will make all the difference, but you can add more than just content to a PDF. 

Have you ever sent a PDF to a client and really wanted to know if it has been read?
Maybe you wanted to know when they read it so that you could call them and discuss some part of it shortly after they had taken in the information. 
 Maybe you’ve lots of information you want the reader to access but don’t want to overload your PDF with it. Maybe the information, such as CAD drawings for architects, can’t be added to a PDF.
Then Gold PDF from BuildPR is a real way forward. 

With the GOLD PDF service from BuildPR track-able links are embedded into your PDF. These can be in the form of traditional written website text or as a button. As the number of clicks can be tracked the success of the document can also be assessed. The track-ability of the information can also allow you to see which of your products gains the most interest and even what time of day this happens. Not only that you can find out where in the world the document was opened giving you insight into its reach. You will be amazed at how far your document travels. 

And it’s not just new PDFs that can have links added. Links can be added to existing PDFs as well.
So if you are considering sending out your PDF to prospective clients consider its content and think about whether access to additional information can make the difference between loosing and winning that all important business.
