A flexible solution: Print-on-Demand
As part of our practical print-on-demand service, we handle the creation of your print files for you and deliver your books to large book wholesalers and online retailers – quickly, flexibly and cost-effectively.
More flexibility for your print business – while saving money
Our most important tip for all publishers is to establish a multi-format strategy and offer the widest possible range of your content. This will allow you to reach all relevant target groups via the most diverse channels. The print business, which is usually too cost-intensive because of storage requirements, printing costs and inevitable remissions, can be rejuvenated with our print-on-demand technology.
After all, how do you set up a commercially attractive print business when the success of a new publication is notoriously difficult to predict? How do you calculate print run sizes for new publications or reprints without incurring high initial costs and the associated financial risks? How can you ensure flexible availability of out-of-print titles?
With our print-on-demand service, you can manage your print business to adapt flexibly to changing demands. Bookwire OS reports your PoD products to book wholesalers, shops and printers and ensures production and delivery to your customers after the order is received. Of course, individual print orders and drop shipment orders can also be added.
“The PoD service in Bookwire has given us the possibility to deliver backlist orders at any time. Even if titles go out of print, they can still remain in the catalogues of all book wholesalers and online retailers and are printed via Bookwire PoD partners when an order comes in. Additionally, as a publisher we can order very small editions of a title quickly and in excellent quality via Bookwire. We really appreciate this amazing flexibility!”
Numerous choices and easy handling
Our experts will give you the support you need at every step – from production to sales and all the way to analytics. The PoD service offers extensive possibilities in conjunction with Bookwire OS:
