Title
Independent Publishers Group - Providing book distribution for publishers in the US and worldwide
Description
IPG DOES NOT EARN money unless it sells a book. It has no in-out charges, or warehouse charges for active stock, or charges for sending sample books to its sales reps or to key buyers—to name just a few of the many extra fees charged by most other distributors. A large part of the income of many distributors comes from such fees, which have nothing to do with the distributor's success in actually selling books. Some distributors charge a lower basic fee for their services than does IPG, but when their extra fees are added in, the actual cost is often higher than what IPG charges.
IPG’s goal is to be as accessible as if we were down the hall from our publishers. Clients have easy access to all members of the IPG staff rather than to an assigned “liaison.”
IPG’s return rate averages about 20%—the lowest among the major distributors. This is due to the fact that we are careful not to overload wholesalers and because we put emphasis on getting books into as many stores as possible. IPG examines each return and places more than 80% of them back into stock.
