GSC created an online virtual magazine that could be fully personalized by each local affiliate, using a simple control panel . This "Web e-Zine" employs page-flip effects controlled intuitively by the reader’s mouse, a "riffling front page" that invites the reader to open the catalogue, plus click-to-buy for any item or coupon. The resulting Clickthrough and viewership rates are more than double typical industry levels.
This franchise network with 200 local affiliates, each with varying inventory and coupons, needed a different monthly promotional magazine for each local affiliate.
