Ingram Publisher Services is unique because it’s an exclusive relationship. Ingram Publisher Services acts as your official vendor, handling inventory management and relationships with resellers across the industry, including A/R management. While the program is customizable to meet your publishing needs, many publishers use Ingram Publisher Services as their official sales force.
Full Service Distribution provides comprehensive back-end support that includes warehousing, order fulfillment, billing and collection, customer service and the option of sales support. Publishers who want to maintain control of their sales, marketing and accounting can partner with Ingram Publisher Services for logistics services including warehousing, print on demand, and optional e-book distribution.
Fees vary based on each publisher’s unique needs. Full Service Distribution fees are charged as a percent of net revenue (net of discount and returns.) Logistics service fees are determined by activity, either per item or per service, and are outlined in a schedule of fees. To get a quote, contact us.
