Roll Use Cases

A collection of rolls created for different purposes; from recipe books, to How-To-Guides, to storytelling, and resource guides. There are a lot of ways to utilize the Bublup roll format!

• Create a Travel Itinerary

  EXAMPLE: A Weekend in Charleston... Amy Watson, a new resident of Charleston, SC, has been getting a lot of visitors since she moved to her new home in the South. Since each friend, couple, or family member who visits her has a different idea of fun, she makes the planning process easier on herself by sending them this roll: a four-day itinerary including all her favorite things to do in Charleston. With the roll, each visitor gets an overview of all of Amy's recommendations, and together they can decide what they'll do over their long weekend.

• Share Some Memories (No Login Required!)

  EXAMPLE: Grandma's 90th Birthday When Amy Watson's grandmother turned 90, she had a huge birthday bash with nearly 80 people in attendance! Amy was probably right to assume that they weren't all on Facebook or Google Photos, so she did what any loving, tech-savvy granddaughter would do... she put all the photos together in Bublup, and made a roll that no one will need a login to see.

• Make a Newsletter

  EXAMPLE: This Week at TRUEBODY Check out what's happening this week at TRUEBODY. In this roll you will find information on weekly and upcoming events, exclusive club features, current health and wellness tips, and their instructors.

• Build a Sleek and Customizable Portfolio

  EXAMPLE: A Digital Nomad's Life in Photos Full-time traveler Lauren Carey won't go anywhere without her camera - photography is her constant creative outlet and her photos the most precious of souvenirs. She put together this roll to honor some of her favorite moments and places.

• Create a Resource Document for Your Clients

  EXAMPLE: Are You Ready To Be A Texas Homeowner? Texas real estate agent Lulu Barnebe said that she was constantly sending her clients long and tedious emails about what mortgage lenders she recommends, reputable inspection companies, information about how to prepare for a closing, etc. Now it's all here in this tidy roll that she can update and customize for each client with just a few clicks.

• Show off Your Artwork or Talent with a Visual Compilation

  EXAMPLE: Juggling Mediums Artist Jordan Monsell does not stick to just one medium, with his "projects" ranging from storyboards to book covers, play posters to private commissions. As a result, his work could always be found in a variety of different publications and websites; but now it's all together in one modern-looking portfolio that only took some clicking to create.

• An Updatable Writing Portfolio That Looks as Good as the Articles in it

  EXAMPLE: The Writing Portfolio of Amna Shamim Writer Amna Shamim doesn't just write for one publication. If you wanted to review all of her most accomplished pieces, you would be scouring the internet forever. For a potential client, she can demonstrate her way with words in a sleek, professional, and easy-to-consume single-pager.

• Create a Simple Website for Literally Anything

  EXAMPLE: The Tiny Catskill Cabin In Kerhonkson, New York Homeowner Justin Johnson put a lot of work into making his cabin in the Catskills a beautiful rental property. With a custom domain name, the roll he created about it is a professional looking marketing asset, with a direct link to where viewers can find the property on Airbnb.

• Curate Your Favorite Recipes on One Easy-to-access Link

  EXAMPLE: Super Healthy and Delicious Gluten-Free Recipes Food blogger Danielle Eggenberger is constantly trying out recipes and writing about them on her blog, but there's a lot more knowledge in her head. Here she curated some of her own content about gluten-free recipes, as well as some from other bloggers she respects. The result? A gorgeous recipe-book living on a single link that she can easily share with anyone.

• Share Your Passion Without Going Through the Effort of Creating a Blog

  EXAMPLE: My Favorite Albums of 2017 Tri Nguyen is a game designer who has a huge passion for music. Without a blog, he would've been left to sharing his favorite music as a playlist, leaving no room for written commentary. In this roll, he was able to include links to every single album that he loved, along with a personal note about why he loved it and what rating he think it deserves.

• Offer Vacation Recommendations to Friends

  EXAMPLE: Backpacking in the Galapagos Frequent traveler, Christa Romano, loves to post about her trips on social media but doesn't have a blog. One particular trip she took to the Galapagos inspired a lot of friends to reach out and ask her for tips and recommendations so they could go there too. Instead of typing up the same message over and over, she put all of her advice, research, and vacation photos in a roll.

• Share Training Materials

  EXAMPLE: Lacy's Guitar Goodies Folder Guitar teacher, Jordan Lovinger, could have sent an email to his student with hyperlinks to the additional reading and YouTube videos he assigned for homework, but realized the roll format is a much more convenient way to consume all the content. Not to mention it looks polished and professional.

• Memorialize or Honor a Beloved Person

  EXAMPLE: Remembering the Life and Works of Professor Stephen Hawking The passing of Stephen Hawking initiated a wave of content dedicated to his lifetime of profound achievements. A roll has the unique ability to curate content both old and new, encompassing all rich media such as photos, videos, articles, etc. Here is an example of a full dedication curation to a person of honor, Professor Hawking.
