Drive more sales with bespoke features
Publishers need their own retail channel, one not controlled by the whims of mega corporations. Publishers should be in control of their own discount models and have the agency to set and run their own digital campaigns to promote their catalog. ReaderBound gives publishers the control they need and the easy-to-use features that make managing their website a breeze.
Custom or off the shelf features
ReaderBound comes in 2 flavours, Bespoke and Basic. The first offering is intended for presses that have complex requirements, including examples such as multi-language, multisite, additional retail considerations, etc. The other is for presses that need access to the core capabilities and are prepared to defer customizations until the ROI is more obvious.
Bespoke solutions typically include several macro ingredients; bibliographic data consulting, custom design including accessibility and usability concerns, complex retail considerations such as different fulfillers depending on location, and so on. The interesting thing is that sometimes a solution that is pioneered in one of the Bespoke solutions can become available in the Basic solution. Automated desk and exam copy requests is an example of this; it is now available in all Basic solutions.
Basic solutions require that the press have an ONIX solution and a fulfillment provider. The ReaderBound instance contains the same feature as the Bespoke, but doesn't provide the opportunity for customizations. In other words, if you want a site up and running in a couple weeks, this is the way to do it.
