  • Title
  • Email
  • Mobile Number

Share, Update and Analyze your Digital Sales Room contents


Share your Contents

Easily share a wide range of content, including presentations, documents, images, 3D files, and folders with one or multiple recipients. You have the flexibility to create as many shares as you need, without any limitations. These shared materials will be neatly displayed in your Digital Sales Rooms.

Consider the following, while you create the share, as this affects the Digital Sales Room:

  • Add a subject and message: Adding a personalized message will help you to engage with the share receivers
  • Choose a brand: If your Workspace has multiple brands in place, you are able to choose what branding is right for you.
  • Set an expiration date: Make sure your share, and so also the Digital Sales Room, is only available for a set period of time. This comes in handy with for example time limited deals
  • Set a PIN-code: Sensitive materials? set a PIN-code for an extra layer of protection
  • Ask for email: When the share recipient opens the Digital Sales Room, they will be prompted to provide their email address. This comes in handy, as you'll be able to know who visited your Room, and what they viewed.
  • Download options: You can choose what materials can be downloaded from the Digital Sales Room
  • Drag and drop your content in the right order: To ensure that the recipients view the shared materials in the correct sequence, you can easily arrange them in the desired order while creating the share. This order will be maintained in the Digital Sales Room, providing a seamless and organized experience for your prospects.


Update your Contents

If you have new materials to add to your Digital Sales Room, you can easily edit your shares. The best part is that the share link (URL) will stay the same, and the content in the Digital Sales Room will be automatically updated. This means you don't have to send a new link to the recipient. It's a convenient and hassle-free way to keep your Digital Sales Room up to date.

You have full control over your shares, allowing you to easily remove or add materials to the same share link throughout the entire buying process.


    Analyze your Shared Contents

    By tracking the recipients' interactions with the content in the Digital Sales Room, you can gather valuable analytics. This allows you to monitor their engagement and make informed decisions, such as adding more relevant content to further entice them.

    As a user, you have the convenience of easily accessing the analytics you need directly from the Showell App. On the other hand, as an Admin, you have the ability to monitor the analytics of the whole Workspace and make necessary updates to the materials.

    You can receive email notifications whenever someone checks out your Digital Sales Room. This allows you to stay updated on the activity happening in your room and promptly follow up with interested prospects.

    Communicate with Share receivers

    Within the Digital Sales Room, you can engage in direct communication with all your prospects and customers. This feature allows for real-time discussions, making it easier to address inquiries, clarify points, and provide additional information that may be crucial for the decision-making process.

    You can also highlight specific pages or files in your Share room conversations, providing clarity and enhancing the effectiveness of your communications. This capability ensures that both you and your prospects are on the same page, literally and figuratively, as you navigate through shared materials together.

    How it works

    When you create or manage a share, you have the option to toggle the 'Enable Messaging' feature on. Activating this feature enables both you and your visitors to comment on specific pages or files, ask questions, and share insights. This two-way communication not only enriches the engagement but also allows for immediate feedback, which can be invaluable in a sales context.

    As the Share owner, you can easily monitor these interactions and respond directly to threads and messages, ensuring that no question goes unanswered. Additionally, both you and the recipient will receive email notifications whenever new messages are exchanged.

    Furthermore, you can continue the discussions directly from within the Showell App, making it convenient to follow up on conversations without the need to jump in each individual Sales Room.

    💡 FAQ

     

    Are there any restrictions to the Digital Sales Room?

    There is no limit to the number of Rooms you can create, and you can add content of any size. However, do note there are some restrictions for non-verified Free Workspaces.

    Do recipients need to enter their email every time they open the Digital Sales Room?

    The recipient's browser may remember their email from previous visits to the share (cookies), so they won't need to enter it every time. This is more convenient for them and allows you to continue receiving analytics on their interactions.

    Can Showell make the Digital Sales Rooms into a concrete landing page?

    The Digital Sales Room (DSR) can carry your domain name, but it will always be followed by the share URL itself ("subdomain.companyname.com/s/shareURL").
    However, you can still use the  DSR as a landing page the following way:

    • You can embed the DSR to your website
    • You can create a CTA button on your website that takes you to the DSR page
    • You can create a re-direct link from an existing landing page to the DSR. In this way the title can be searched from the web

    Is it possible to modify the "DSR privacy policy text"?

    Absolutely! You have the flexibility to customize the privacy policy text in the Digital Sales Room (DSR) according to your preferences. Additionally, you can even add multiple translations to cater to a wider audience. For more information and guidance on how to modify the privacy policy text, please reach out to Showell Support.

    How do I change the Digital Sales Room language?

    There is no need to! The language user interface (left menu bar and notifications) in the DSR is determined by the recipients own browser settings.

    🔔 Troubleshooting

     

    Why are shared links not opening in the Digital Sales Room?

    If you have a non-verified Free Showell Workspace, there are a few restrictions to the Digital Sales Room: For these workspaces, links cannot be opened, files cannot be downloaded, and web content in the form of .html files cannot be opened. Contact Support, if you'd like to get verified or if you encounter this issue with a paid subscription.

    Why can't files be downloaded from the Digital Sales Room?

    There are a few reasons why you may be unable to download files:

    • You have a non-verified Free Showell Workspace (See question above).
    • You haven't turned the 'Download'-toggle to ON: Make sure that, when creating the share, you select the files you'd like to make downloadable.
    • You have shared a My Presentation: A presentation created in Showell can contain a mix of different file types, such as images, videos, PDFs, and 3D objects. Due to this combination of files, it is currently not possible to download a My Presentation directly from the Digital Sales Room. However, we offer a workaround solution: you can convert your Presentation to a PDF format before sharing it. This PDF is downloadable from the Digital Sales Room.
