Martin Foner’s Publishing Newslette= r

Another SHORT Newsletter&hell= ip; Three TALL Offers

Volume 22, Number 8

 

  • NPL is starting a full-service program for pub= lishers looking to increase their Bulk and Custom sales. After this la= test round of complimentary analyses and a rather large number of publ= ishers wanting direct representation… We are going to provide i= t. See the details below.

 =

  • We are also about to do a major ‘selling= ’ promotion of our client publishing companies for sale… = because I believe that something huge and difficult is coming both eco= nomically and politically that will reverberate in the marketplace, an= d I would like to have at least my clients for sale… SOLD. See = the details below.

 =

  • MY COMPLIMENTARY OFFER TO REVIEW YOUR TITLES F= OR BULK AND CUSTOM POTENTIAL IS EXTENDED TO MAY 31ST, 2017… A f= ew dozen publishers are way behind the eight ball and have asked if I = would do some additional Bulk and Custom analyses. And since we are st= arting a related service, see above, I can’t really say no.

 =

  • BEA is coming next week. Are you exhibiting? W= hy? You know you can attend the entire trade show for a few hundred do= llars?

 =

Hello, Everyone…

A very short newsletter of= fering some vital services and one complimentary one. Next week I will= be back to ‘regular’ newsletters.

BULK AND CUSTOM SALES FULL-SE= RVICE PROGRAM

 

In simplest terms, many cl= ients have asked if we would handle the selling work, the solicitation= , the sales, invoicing, reporting, shipping… and some have aske= d if we would warehouse the inventory.

So, in addition to creatin= g the sales plan, soliciting customers, negotiating order pricing, and= any custom work, ordering the printing, arranging for shipping and de= livery, collection of funds, warehousing inventory, and reporting, we = will ALSO be creating a landing page/website for each= product so that smaller bulk orders can be handled online and= filled instantly.

There is a small charge up= front for roughly half of the costs we are incurring to start the pro= gram including the website, promotional materials, postage, shipping c= osts, staff work, and back office, as well as making room in the wareh= ouse for inventory.

After that, we absorb all = the costs and the deal is very simple.

We split the NET PROFITS o= n each sale 50/50. It is really that simple.

(If we are warehousing and= doing all the fulfillment and back office, we do charge a percentage = of each sale for those services. If not, and you are handling those se= rvices, there is no charge.)

We will work on a two year= contract and hopefully create enough profits that you will want to ke= ep us on for two more years of repeat selling and new market selling.<= /span>

Since this is based on &ld= quo;best book” bulk and custom selling, if you aren’t sure= which title would be best, contact me, and I’ll let you know.

And if you are ready to ge= t started in Bulk and Custom Sales, contact me at mfoner@np= lconsult.com and we can ge= t you started right away!!

A MAJOR SALES ‘PUSH&rsq= uo; TO GET PUBLISHING COMPANIES SOLD BEFORE THE CEILING COMES CRASHING= DOWN

 

I am fortunate to have a n= umber of small publishers and lines available for sale. And frankly, a= combination of economic factors and political factors has me quite co= ncerned. And concerned enough that I would like to have ALL of my client sales done by the end of the summer.

What factors? Well, most o= f you don’t want to hear what I am going to discuss… sinc= e somehow I am always being political and should shut up, but I have a= Tax CPA background combined with a solid understanding of internation= al finance and currency… and this IS MY newsle= tter…

Economic factors… I= see three more Fed interest rate hikes this year… at least two= but if things begin to unravel, they will have to hit a third to keep= things somewhat in order. The disarray of the Congress is making not = only insurance companies crazy, but companies in many industries very = concerned with their futures.

Political factors… = I have already discussed my concerns over the possible push to loosen = the libel laws… and to further tighten censorship in the media.= And by the way folks… publishing is one of the media, just in = case you think you will somehow be exempt.

And, as this whole politic= al world is starting to unravel, it not only impacts the governance of= the country, but the confidence of the citizenry that the government = can continue to govern. This has serious implications in terms of gett= ing legislation passed… and it also has severe potential econom= ic circumstances like a weakening of the dollar… which means ov= erseas printing will cost 5%, 20%, or 50% more.

So, in 100 words or less&h= ellip; if you have been thinking of selling a line, or the whole compa= ny… this would be the time. Prices for publishing companies are= almost at full retail… those who are profitable are at full va= lue… The stock market is crazy and is allowing lots of money to= flow… so if I were you, I would be reaching up and grabbing al= l the money I could… putting it away somewhere safe… gol= d, silver, Swiss francs… until the insanity has passed… = and then make your next life move.

So, if you have thought ab= out selling, OR, are interested in buying… contact me at mfoner@nplconsult.com= and I will ask a few questions and provide you a complimentary &ldquo= ;ballpark” value for your line or company. If you like the numbe= r range, or can live with it, then we can represent you in the marketp= lace.

I am planning this for rig= ht after Memorial Day, or for the first week of June, so contact me NOW!

Newsletters, targeted emai= l to my list of private buyers, and to ‘interested buyers’= , advertisements in publishing venues, and maybe even something in the= NYT or LAT… depending on how quickly the lines and companies s= ell.

 

DUE TO A STRONG RESPONSE, MY = COMPLIMENTARY OFFER TO REVIEW YOUR TITLES FOR BULK AND CUSTOM POTENTIA= L IS EXTENDED TO MAY 31ST, 2017…

 

I have to say, I truly enj= oy doing these bulk and custom analyses. They are fun and frankly, kee= p my mind sharp for the clients I have and will have in the future. It= is just like going to the gym to keep your body in great shape. Anyway, to repeat for those= who haven’t seen this offer or haven’t gotten off the cou= ch and taken advantage of it yet:

*** HERE IS MY SPE= CIAL OFFER TO YOU. I = am offering ALL publishers an opportunity to have ONE BOOK analyzed by= me for its Bulk and/or Custom Sales potential, and even give you a re= port of a couple primary target markets to approach… AT NO CHAR= GE… COMPLIMENTARY… just so you will begin to have the id= ea of why Bulk and Custom Sales are so important to your survival.

I have done this once befo= re… eight years ago. It was very strongly received with 500+/- = books submitted to me to analyze. Yes, it took about six weeks to get = to everyone, but I got a great deal of positive feedback… and w= e all need that. Currently, I have received over 300 requests and have= extended the deadline by 30 more days.

Feel free to submit your b= ook now. Send me an email with your book information, a link to it on = your website, a copy of the Table of Contents, full size front and bac= k covers, and your email and contact information. If you prefer to send me an eBook of your book, tha= t is ok also, with the other information… to mfoner@nplconsult.com .

Subject line: Bulk= -Custom Book Analysis

Remember, fiction, childre= n’s fiction, romance, sci-fi, etc., anything of a fiction nature= really doesn’t lend itself to this process, and I will likely r= eply with a blank page to those requests. Non-fiction works for the mo= st part, informational, business, self-help, technical, are good.

***I will analyze ALL the = books I receive, other than those mentioned above, one per publisher, = extended through the 31ST of May, 2017 ***

And, if you would = like to speak confidentially about the potentials of success with your= titles and bulk, customized, and special sales… contact me at<= /span> mfoner@nplconsult.comI have over thirty years of experience = in Bulk and Custom sales… tens of Millions of Dollars in revenu= es… my largest individual unit sale was 250,000 units of one ti= tle, one order. We should talk if you want to succeed in Bulk and Cust= om selling. Many dozens of publishers have done well from using the ex= pert help I can offer.

And, particularly,= see the first offer in this newsletter for an excellent full-service = bulk and custom selling program!

 

BEA IS COMING NEXT WEEK

 

I am always fascinated at = what small publishers will spend to attend BEA. And for a buying crowd= of (usually) under 6,000 stores. You could send out repeated offers t= o these people, and even throw in a free book to every store, and stil= l not spend what you will spend being at BEA as an exhibitor.

But… for only a few= hundred dollars you can have an Exhibit Hall pass for the entire show= . You can still be there, meet people, make appointments, and see what= everyone else (who decided to exhibit) is doing in the industry.

Just my recommendation.

 

Great Home for Sale in Los An= geles

Let’s cut to the cha= se. If you need a great entertainment home/larger home in L.A., this i= s it. PBS Celebrity Chef owned, (by my client, Tommy Tang), 3,800+ sq = ft amazing house, drought resistant 1/3 acre oasis in the suburbs of a= busy city. Too many features to mention here. Price is $1.195MM. Go t= o www.6421orionhome.com and have a look. Then contact me directly at mfoner= @nplconsult.com. The marke= t has heated up and I expect this house to sell within the next four w= eeks… but if you have or know someone… it is a great buy= at about half the per square foot price of similar homes in L.A.

 

  AND NOW A FINAL WORD FR= OM OUR SPONSOR (ME)

 

If you believe your publis= hing business, or any commercial business you own, isn’t up to w= hat it should be creating or earning… then you should contact m= e at mfoner@nplconsult.com. I can help you grow your company to your goals and then h= elp you exit profitably.
