Selling More Books: Building Trade Relationships
Keeping close ties with our key industry partners is crucial for us to continue giving our authors the best possible publishing experience
Yesterday our Sales and Marketing Manager Jonathan White and Distribution Manager Sam Copson travelled down to Eastbourne to spend the day with the Gardners team. One of our key wholesale partners, Gardners help us supply the UK bookshop trade and ensure that our author's books have the best possible chance of getting into bookshops.
While we love building our own relationships with individual bookshops, working with the Gardners team allows us to get the best coverage possible for our authors and helps us maintain our specialty: getting books into bookshops.
The highlight for Jonathan and Sam from yesterday's trip was the automated pick and pack. They had a demo of the technology that Gardners employs to pick the books that are ordered from them and loved seeing how it helps create efficiencies for the warehouse team.
Thanks to the Gardners team for hosting - we look forward to welcoming you to our HQ in the future.
