One built-in feature we are immensely proud of here at ReaderBound is how well our websites handle pre-publication orders. Preorders are automatically enabled for all forthcoming books, and this feature offers a lot of benefits to the press including:
- Expanding the initial sales window
- Seeding the marketplace in advance of publication
- Leveraging the author’s natural interest in promoting their work as early as possible
- Generating advance interest as the book approaches its pub date
The title page shows when the book is expected to ship. By default, this is the book’s pub date, but it can be manually changed. This notation follows all the way through the ordering process. It manages customer expectations and mitigates customer service issues.
Pre-ordering: solved!
