What is a guide?

What is a guide?

A guide gives step-by-step advice on a task or problem your customers face, such as how to choose, use or care for something. It can live as a web page, a downloadable PDF, a video series or a printed booklet.

What are eBooks?

What is an eBook?

An eBook is a longer, designed digital publication that covers a subject in depth. Brands use them to show expertise and to swap useful content for an email address.

Why do guides and eBooks work?

They answer real questions

People search for advice before they search for a product. A guide that answers the question puts your brand in front of them first, in Google and in AI answers.

They give the media a story

A useful book or guide is a reason for journalists and creators to talk about you. Primula’s Squeezy Cheesy Cookbook, crowd-sourced with chef Ian Haste, landed seven gold-tier national pieces.

They capture leads

Offer a guide in exchange for an email address and you build a list of people who are already interested in what you sell.

Will eBooks replace printed books?

Ebooks haven’t completely taken over the world of printed books, but they have gained significant popularity over the past decade, thanks to advancements in e-reader devices and the convenience they offer. With just a few taps on a screen, you can have access to thousands of books right at your fingertips.

How are eBooks made?

First and foremost, eBooks are created using a process called eBook formatting. This involves converting the content of a printed book into a digital format that can be easily read on electronic devices. The formatting process includes converting text, images, and other elements into a compatible file format.

Once an eBook is formatted, it can be distributed and accessed in multiple ways. One common method is through online platforms like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Google Play Books. These platforms allow users to purchase and download eBooks directly to their devices.

How long are guides?

Well, the length of guides can vary greatly depending on the topic, scope, and purpose. Some guides may be short and concise, while others can be quite lengthy and detailed.

What sectors do we work in?

Our decade of experience has enabled us to work in a wide range of sectors, including; B2B PR, Hospitality PR, Public Sector PR, Food PR, Drink PR, Luxury PR, Technology PR, Automotive PR, Higher Education PR, Property PR, Retail PR, Health & Beauty PR, FMCG PR, and Travel PR.
