How to add product tags?

What is a product tag?

A product tag is a powerful online sales tool that makes your online flipbooks even more interactive and shoppable.

Tags not only guide customers to the right product pages, increasing the likelihood of sales, but also provide valuable insights into which products generate the most interest. This data allows you to optimize your marketing strategies for better sale results.

What can I do with the product tag feature?

Tag your products with interactive hotspots by adding photos, videos, and product links. Promote your offerings with discount deals and showcase them more effectively. Use tags to track customer interests through the wishlist feature, providing valuable insights into which products resonate most and allowing your audience to shop faster directly from your publication.
