Bookstore Discount and Return Program
Having your book returnable is essential if you want to get your book directly into physical bookstores.
This Bookstore Discount and Return Program allows bookstores to return unsold copies of your book for a complete refund for 12 months. It also ensures a maximum bookstore discount to encourage bookstores to stock your book.
Ingram recommends setting a wholesale discount rate of 55% to increase the likelihood that bookstores will purchase your title. This will impact the retail price we need to set to make sure there will be a positive royalty earnings received.
If your book has already been published, we will need to revise your cover to reflect the new retail price required. This revision cost is included in the pricing.
The Benefits of the Program:
- Encourages bookstores to order your book
- Improves chances of scheduling book signings and appearances
- Allows book returns yet will not reduce author royalties
Part of this cost will go towards paying any charges incurred to us by Ingram for books that are returned. This way, we don’t have to come to you for payment each time this might happen.
You can read more about how to get your book on bookstore shelves here.
*Please Note: This will be a yearly fee to continue with this program, and an invoice will be sent annually for payment prior to renewal.
