Digital Magazines

 

The Watkins Printing Company has the technical solution to assist you in your digital advantage!

 

It makes sense for us to create a digital magazine to complement the printed version we are stitching and mailing. Working together, your print and digital magazine will reach a larger audience and give readers multiple options to absorb and forward your content. This digital content will be delivered to the device of their choice using HTML 5 and Native App technologies.
