Distributors and Wholesalers
Bookstores don't like to buy from a multitude of small publishers. They prefer to consolidate their sales through  wholesalers and distributors. Wholesalers merely stock books and fulfil orders. Distributors also have a sales force which represents your book to bookstores and wholesalers. To sell your books to the book trade you must be present in the major wholesalers and should find a suitable distributor. This report provides you with the tools to do just that. It includes….
- A complete explanation of the functions of distributors and wholesalers
- Lists of wholesalers and distributors with contact details.
- How to approach distributors and get your book stocked by wholesalers.
- The complete list of wholesalers and distributors doing business with Barnes & Noble.
