TitlePage

As a Publisher, why should I put my titles on TitlePage?

Improve visibility of books through being on the only database for local 'availability'
Reduce customer service time spend answering basic 'price & availability' queries by delivering a platform available 24x7
Make the locally available title the 'first choice' for retailers when looking to source books
TitlePage has a focus on helping publishers with metadata quality and content aimed at improving 'discoverability' of locally held book content
Be part of a community offering 'consumer direct fulfilment' and an integrated consumer experience when buying all formats, including ebooks, thereby helping existing 'channels to market' compete, and extending sales opportunities

What is 'consumer direct fulfilment (CDF)'? What does it mean to me as a Publisher? Who is participating, how is it funded, and how do I get involved?

CDF is a 'freight free' home delivery service that can be offered by a retailer, with supply being managed by the participating Publisher direct to consumer. The concept is in response to international consumer offerings and is jointly funded by bookseller and publisher through 'terms of trade' changes, for that CDF delivery. This service is available for all mainland Australia destinations, with individual publishers communicating changes to terms.
For a publisher this means another service offering helping to keep customers in Australian stores, and on Australian web sites, while also encouraging more order placement locally from retailers.
Publishers distributed by the following Distributors are included in the CDF program:
Alliance Distribution Services
Harper Collins
Macmillan Distribution Services
Random House Australia
United Book Distributors (Pearson is not included)
To get involved, a publisher must be able to:
- Receive the appropriately formatted CDF order electronically
- Dispatch the order within 24 hours of receipt
- Ship with delivery label clearly identifying the bookshop through which the consumer placed the order
