What’s on Your 2015 Wish List?

It’s the end of the year, and you know what that means: basking in the glowing lights and magical feel of the season, letting your mind fill with possibilities, hope, and joy.

Yes; it’s time to think about your business strategy for next year! What’s on your wish list for 2015?

Streamline your production process

For an automated and efficient solution, Digital Print Advantage and Sheridan Select are all wrapped up with a bow on top. Digital Print Advantage is a web-based ordering system that lets you submit, order, and ship books in ultra-short runs, on-demand as you need them. Sheridan Select is an automated print management system that can change the way you publish. This interface handles order placement, production, distribution, and reporting from publishers’ single point of entry.

Optimize print runs for efficiency and cost effectiveness

If you’re looking to find the best option for a buffet of print demands, your holiday wishes have come true. Sheridan can help you determine the best printing solution to meet your unique needs, be it offset printing for a large run, digital inkjet printing for short runs, or digital toner printing for on-demand.

Offer print-on-demand

It’s possible to offer your customers print-on-demand service without sacrificing quality. Sheridan Books offers digital toner printing for creating 1 to 200 copies that meet your high standards.

Go digital

If 2015 is the year you want to add eBooks or expand your digital offerings, we can help you make it happen before you finish the fruitcake. eBooks give you an immediate way to connect with consumers on their ever-present digital devices.

We can help you define your ePublishing goals, determine the best approach to meet your objectives, and lead you through the conversion and content distribution process. (And the process is considerably easier than eating fruitcake.)

Sell direct to consumer

Are you starting from the ground up or do you already have a website in place that simply needs eBook distribution incorporated? (Or maybe you’re looking for some elves to handle distribution.)

We offer three options to enable you to sell directly to your audience. Sheridan Connect delivers a uniquely branded eCommerce site that offers everything from on-demand printing and eBooks to site analytics and reporting. Publisher Connect transparently integrates eBook and print fulfillment with your existing site. And ShelfWise is an aggregate eStore that offers titles from multiple publishers in one online catalog.

Sell to venues outside of bookstores

At Sheridan, we’re all about giving you the power to realize your publishing goals. ‘Tis the season for sharing, and along those lines, we offer industry insights and consulting to provide expert guidance and creative solutions for expanding your market and reaching new audiences. We can guide you with real-world experience and offer ways to think differently, expand your reach, and sell books, even in non-bookstore markets.

If you check the list twice and decide it’s too much to wish for, no worries

Sheridan Books is a full-service partner. We can provide all the services you need under one roof, whether you need masterful paper-and-ink pieces or innovative technologies that help you reach new frontiers and fresh sources of revenue.

Ring in the New Year with Sheridan to ensure your book production, printing, distribution, digital presence — even extended marketing efforts — are consolidated and cost-effective.

We look forward to serving you in 2015!
