xigxag Next Listen Audiobook Cards

Audiobooks help busy people finish more books and make books more accessible for the one in five who struggle with reading. 

Audiobooks have been the fastest growing segment of the books market for over a decade - generating c. £1Bn in revenue across the UK ecosystem last year.  And yet, offline retailers have, until now, been excluded from access to this dynamic market. 

At xigxag, we want to be an innovation enabler for the entire UK book retail ecosystem.  We want to give retailers access to the exciting growth of Audiobooks so that more people can enjoy more books.  

Introducing the xigxag Next Listen Card!  It's a printed Audiobook card, giving UK retailers the first-ever opportunity to sell digital audiobooks in their shops.

Retailers can select and order from a broad range of bestselling titles by top publishers. Customers buy beautifully designed, individually printed cards from the retailer for redemption in the xigxag app.  

Our Next Listen Audiobook cards are at least 100x more space efficient than physical books and yet just as compelling, with the covers, the authors (and us!) doing all the hard work. 

Our Next Listen cards are A7 size when folded, 74 x 105mm, printed on recycled 350gsm weight paper, with the title’s beautifully designed cover artwork displayed prominently on the front cover, and a book synopsis on the back cover. 

Inside, the customer will find simple instructions to redeem their Audiobook, either using the unique QR code printed inside, or via written instructions and a text-based code. Each Next Listen card is sealed with a biodegradable sticker to prevent the QR code from being used before purchase/distribution.

xigxag Next Listen cards offer a unique and engaging display, with the covers doing all the hard work. These compact, eye-catching cards also provide a wide range of gifting options, making them the perfect impulse purchase.
