Paw Prints POD - Online Publishing
Description
Paw Prints, Print on Demand, is a small company established in April of 2001. We have learned so much during our time printing Trade paperbacks. When we first started, we were using an InstaBook Maker. It was a really amazing piece of equipment but it did not offer us the mass production capabilities that we needed to keep up with the publishers we were working with. We slowly purchased equipment that would continue to assure us of a high quality product and allow us to increase productivity. We decided to expand and hired a consultant/production manager that has been working in the printing industry for over 20 years. Cher brought her knowledge to Paw Prints Print on Demand, and improved all aspects of our company.
Being closely associated with small publishing companies, it became obvious that small publishers and self-published authors have many challenges to deal with. We offer on-line storage space for the manuscripts and covers. ISBN# and bar codes are available on an individual basis. We also offer a very good quality Print on Demand product and conversion into some e-book formats and offer reliable fulfillment. We are working on a shopping cart that small pubs can link directly to their sites and to the sites of their individual authors so those high costs can be minimized.
We are aware that one of the biggest challenges for small pubs is marketing. We offer tailored marketing contracts. With approval, all books will be listed with Amazon. Other marketing options are available at the publisher's request and we are continually working on new marketing avenues. We will create an on-line and CD catalogue that will be updated every 3-6 months and will distribute it to independent bookstores via the internet and solicited mass mailings. We also have consignment contracts with independent and college bookstores in our area for direct sales of titles. Our Marketing Director, Mike, will be available to help with your individual needs.
