"Perfect for my Business"

5/5

What do you like best about Issuu?

I wanted a way of sharing my business news, attracting new customers and bringing on new advertisers. I needed to produce some content that was easy to share, enjoyable to read, downloadable, would display nicely on my website and could be easily embedded into an email.

Issuu was the solution I'd been looking for. There are lots of features I am still discovering, but I am enjoying the experience and the support from the Issuu team when I need help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Issuu?

There is lots to learn when setting things up, and as a busy person it can be a little tricky to work out all the amazing features, but I think I am getting there now! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to present visual content on our website"

5/5

What do you like best about Issuu?

All I have to do is upload my .pdf documents to Issuu, and get the embed code it generates, to have a beautiful presentation of that document that looks like it's incorporated into the web page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface took a little while to get used to, but now it's like 2nd nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very practical solution for business development collateral"

5/5

What do you like best about Issuu?

The tool is straightforward to use and documents are easy to maintain/update/share. The analytics are very useful in understanding how your audience is interacting with your material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Issuu?

The signup process for new users is less straightforward, but I've been made aware that Issuu is working on addressing this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Issuu solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our firm has been able to host all of its service and sector brochures on Issuu, and then embed them on our website. Because everything is housed and maintained in one place, this makes updating our brochures on multiple websites easy to manage and avoids messy version control problems. We have also leveraged Issuu for tradeshows to offer our collateral digitally instead of in a physical format which has saved cost and is also very convenient with recent concerns over spreading illness.

"Seamless and easy to use interface with fantastic support should you have any queries."

5/5

What do you like best about Issuu?

The fullscreen sharing option is a great tool for a business to Market material to (potential) customers; also the option to embed a document on the back-end of one's own website is fantastic for businesses who already have traffic, without the need to send the reader off-site.

Honestly, there is very little to dislike about Issuu. It's easy to use and offers a wide range of options for publishing content online.
