Services for Publishers & Distributors

BookScan is the most comprehensive source of book industry intelligence currently available in Australia. It is providing the major publishers and retailers in Australia with new business insights that are being utilised to make more effective strategic decisions.

BookScan data goes well beyond bestseller charts!

  • Is a re-print required on a particular title?
  • How is a title selling compared to its competitors?
  • What is your market share?
  • What are the hot selling categories?
  • Where are the opportunities for new titles?
  • Was your publicity spend effective?

These questions and more can be answered through an enormous database containing sales trends for over 250,000 titles and 3 years of sales history. Publishers are using BookScan data for print run decisions, reprints, publishing content, category reviews, promotional and marketing decisions, forecasting, core range analysis and general monitoring of industry trends.

Several publishers are able to combine BookScan data into their own internal databases, adding another dimension to their sales reporting. BookScan's client list includes Penguin Books Australia, HarperCollins Publishers, Random House, Allen & Unwin, Hodder Headline, Scholastic, Wiley, Funtastic, Hinkler Books, Gary Allen, Hardie Grant Egmont, Pluto Press and many more. Find out what these publishers know about your business!
