ReaderBound features

Automated imports of book data, both ONIX and custom feeds; built-in full-featured ecommerce solution; full control of the site by editorial staff; and heaps more. ReaderBound sites are built to eliminate redundant and inefficient efforts while achieving smart and impactful automations. 

ReaderBound sites come with an extensive list of available features and functionalities. In most cases, a new publisher site built on the ReaderBound platform requires only modest customizations. We expect that the current capabilities are suitable for a wide range of presses, from those with a few marketing staff up to those with dedicated sales and marketing divisions.

That said, for those publishers who need something new and unique, we are expert web developers and we actually look forward to being able to build new things that exactly meet the needs of our clients.

 

Feature Spotlight — Collections

Collections of books are an important part of selling books. Books by subject, by recency, by popularity, etc., are key elements of sales and marketing campaigns. ReaderBound provides unmatched capabilities for supporting a diversity of book collections.

Out of the box, Readerbound supports several dozen different collection types; but it also has the ability to easily create new types and to mix and match the rules to create even more types. Within ReaderBound, the super power of a collection is to present it in various ways with a minimum of effort: as a landing page, as a featured list on some general purpose page, and as the core of a catalog.

ReaderBound truly has publishers’ best interests at heart. They know the book market, they’re such good listeners, they’re great problem-solvers, and they’re creative. I would definitely recommend them for their experience, expertise, and value.
Catherine Gerbasi, Publisher, Portage & Main Press
Sales through our website increased by close to 40%. Within a year, the site had more than paid for itself. The value we receive is extremely high. No more constant bills for fixes. We’ve saved a lot of money moving to ReaderBound.

Our website doing all kinds of stuff people didn’t anticipate. It’s opening our minds to new possibilities.
Brendan Ouellette, Digital Projects Manager, Annick Press
We’re happy that our new website is geared to how our readers actually think about and search for books. We’ve seen major gains in sales from the website and are finding a lot of customers are doing 'deep dives' into our backlist.
Brian Lam, Publisher, Arsenal Pulp Press
The improvement in sales has been staggering. In the first year, we saw a 300% increase in total online sales numbers. I’m also happy to report that that number has only increased, and that last year we achieved an increase of over 1000%.
