2. Promote the power of mobile app marketing
If your business relies on advertising dollars, give your
customers multiple reasons to keep buying print,
despite pressures to move increasing shares of their
advertising budget online.
Clickable Paper frees you from the constraints of
conventional offline-to-online standards, such as QR
codes, which take up space on the page and typically
link to simple web and email addresses. Clickable
Paper doesn’t require visible marks of any kind on
printed materials, so you don’t have to design around
something that detracts from document appearance.
To raise awareness and educate app users, you can use
the standard Clickable Paper design element to indi-
cate that a page is Clickable Paper enabled. Or, you
can develop a custom logo for individual customers.
Redefine interactive print
Clickable Paper is a low-risk strategy because it’s
grounded in familiar marketing territory—campaigns,
cloud services and print. It’s innovative, yet practical
and simple.
Clickable Paper has three elements: Authoring, cloud
server and mobile app. Authoring makes a piece
Clickable Paper enabled. The cloud server stores and
manages documents and links. Smartphone and tablet
users download the mobile app, which displays the
rich media results.

receives from app users’ smartphones or tablets

Go to market with augmented reality
Connect the print and online worlds with
augmented reality, a concept you’re already
familiar with if you’ve ever snapped a QR
code. Basically, the snap of a mobile device’s
camera triggers a sequence of steps that
results in digital information (the rich media
results) being presented as an “overlay” to
the physical world. QR codes and Clickable
Paper are different forms of augmented real-
ity. QR codes use barcodes, or markers, while
Clickable Paper’s image recognition technol-
ogy is a markerless approach.

3. Engage app users instantly through mobile
visual searches
The CP Clicker mobile app displays rich media results
that, at a touch, connect individuals immediately to
multimedia, websites, e-commerce portals and social
networks.
In addition, rich media results can enable mobile
devices to take a variety of actions, such as make a
phone call, post a tweet, send an email or open a map.
You can set up hotspots on top of anything in your
document: images, text in any language, diagrams,
photographs, line art or a combination of these.
Increase click-throughs with creative offers
Strong calls to action motivate app users to click
through. Clickable Paper makes it easy for them to
visit an e-commerce site, watch a video, make res-
ervations, download coupons, read a blog, enroll in
a contest, engage via social media, and much more.
And, at every step, your customers can raise brand
awareness with consistent design and messaging.
Provides Result - Analytics
Clickable Paper tracks analytics, providing infor-
mation that marketers can leverage to adjust the
options presented when clickable collateral is
“clicked,” without needing to recall or replace
physical collateral.
The future of the multiplatform media
experience
Clickable Paper is based on Ricoh Visual Search, an
image recognition technology developed by Ricoh
Innovations, Inc. This Ricoh developed solution
enables you to repurpose already printed materials
without marking, editing or reformatting the source
documents. All that’s needed is the PDF source of
the document.
Newspapers, magazines, direct mail pieces, books,
images, brochures and posters can all be recognized
by Clickable Paper, whether they were printed in
the past or will be printed in the future. As long as
you can provide the original source PDF, the author-
ing process is the same—for a book in inventory, for
example, or a book you’re planning to print for the
first time next month.
