As we have said several times, our goal is to be a single-source solution for platform building. As a result, we want to partner in improving your business, maximizing your profits and extending your overall reach. To accomplish that, we are super excited to announce the addition of a new service: PICK & PACK FULFILLMENT
Most of you are in the same dilemma, you don’t want to do fulfillment of book orders so you send people to Amazon to buy your book. There are several issues with this:
- You’re leaving money on the table. Between you and Amazon, there are several layers of costs that you can otherwise eliminate, thus improving your royalty check.
- You’re diluting your own brand. By sending people to Amazon, you’re sending people out of relationship with you and instead promoting Amazon.com.
- You’re creating a competitive landscape. When your customer gets to Amazon, they are immediately hit with opportunities to buy other people’s content that is “similar” to yours.
- You are trusting someone else to close your sale. When you send someone to Amazon, you are no longer in control of the close and run the risk of losing people in the decision cycle.
- You miss an opportunity to grow your platform. Needless to say, Amazon is NEVER sending you a list of emails, phone numbers and home addresses of people engaging with your content.
THE SOLUTION – APP FULFILLMENT SERVICES:
If you have the capability to sell books on your website or in person, we will provide the fulfillment services behind that. The way it works is simple. You conduct the sale and send us the shipping details. We will fulfill the order. But, here’s the better part. If you provide custom envelopes consistent with your branding (or we can develop them for you) or you provide sales inserts or you want to provide a custom letter to each customer, we can fulfill all of that.
We know many of you have other books you’ve published independently or with other publishers; we will even pick and pack books we do not publish. So, don’t hesitate to ask – whatever the solution is that you need, we’re happy to fulfill it.
Our aim is to be the backbone of your platform building practice. We want to help you develop your dream, improve how it’s communicated, deliver on your promises and ultimately grow your influence.
