What to expect when you work with Bookspeed
Taking on a new supplier or product can sometimes feel like a leap of faith, especially if you’re new to selling books. Making the wrong choice can cost you time, money and missed opportunities.
We work with a diverse range of customers, from gift retailers to garden centres, and from museum shops to high-street multiples and we are experts in helping retailers introduce books into their product ranges.
To understand us better, here are some aspects of our service that our customers most appreciate.
1. We offer a one-stop shop for your book retailing needs.
Dealing with lots of different publishers directly can become complicated. Keeping track of titles, new releases, delivery dates, multiple invoices and handling returns can take time many busy retailers just can’t spare. Bookspeed will deal with publishers on your behalf. With our help, you can choose the right books at the right quantities for your retail offering, and we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll collate your books, package them up and ship them out to you, meaning you will receive lots of different books from different publishers in one single order.
2. Access to 1000s of the best books chosen from 100s of publishers.
We survey the whole UK book market, so you don’t have to. We have great relationships with publishers so we often get early sight of upcoming titles, but we always choose books based on what we know will sell, drawing on our years of experience working with different retailers. We list these books on our website in carefully curated collections, so you can be confident that by browsing our website you are seeing the best the market has to offer across popular themes. Our customers tell us that they love the variety on offer – everything from bestselling authors to more niche specialist-interest titles.
3. A curated approach to building book ranges
Our team has lots of experience in the retail and publishing sectors. We don’t just source and supply books; we share our knowledge to help you curate book ranges that complement the themes, interior design and products of your retail offering. We will develop your book ranges in partnership with you, and always make our recommendations impartially, based on what you tell us your customers are looking for.
4. Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable customer service
If you need someone to talk to about your order, we can assure you there will always be someone at the other end of the phone or an email. Our customers always praise us for our friendly, efficient service and we think it’s important to be there for the many businesses or organisations we work with, no matter what size you are.
5. Speedy deliveries
We are called Bookspeed for a reason. If your order is in stock, we will send it out to you promptly, often within a couple of days.
This is who we are and how we work. We’re an independent family-owned business who want to make it easy for you to sell books, whatever size or type of business you represent.
