Retailer / Bookseller Pitch Deck
$149
Give booksellers the information they need to evaluate your book for their customers and shelves.
Receive a professionally written and designed Retailer / Bookseller Pitch Deck that presents your book's audience, market positioning, retail appeal, comparable titles, author platform, and ordering information to bookstore buyers and appropriate retail contacts.
Use your deck when approaching independent bookstores, specialty retailers, bookstore buyers, store managers, and other appropriate retail contacts.
Make the Business Case for Your Book
Being available for bookstores to order is only the first step. A bookseller still needs to decide whether your title makes sense for its customers, shelves, and inventory. Your Retailer / Bookseller Pitch Deck helps present the information a buyer can use to evaluate that opportunity.
Help Buyers See Where Your Book Fits
Retail buyers evaluate books differently from readers. They need to understand who may buy the book, where it belongs in the store, how it compares with other titles, and what makes it relevant to their particular customers.
Present Your Book as a Retail Product
Your custom presentation goes beyond a synopsis by bringing together the market, merchandising, author, and ordering information relevant to a bookseller's evaluation.

Example: From the Train by Randy Schreifels demonstrates how a Retailer / Bookseller Pitch Deck can position a book from a buyer's perspective, highlighting target customers, natural shelf categories, gift and merchandising appeal, seasonal opportunities, and the qualities that distinguish the book within its niche.
Find the Retailers That Fit Your Book
Depending on the book, the best retail opportunities may extend beyond traditional bookstores. A focused pitch can help you approach the types of sellers whose customers are a natural fit.
Available to Order Isn't the Same as Selected for the Shelf
Distribution makes it possible for a retailer to obtain your book. It doesn't make the retailer's buying decision for them. Your pitch deck complements your book's availability by giving a buyer a concise business-oriented presentation of its audience, positioning, retail relevance, and supporting information.
Make Your Book Easier to Evaluate
Your pitch deck cannot determine whether a retailer will stock your book, but it can make the book's audience, market position, retail possibilities, author support, and ordering information easier for buyers to understand and evaluate.
Creation or use of a Retailer / Bookseller Pitch Deck does not guarantee bookstore placement, orders, reorders, sales, displays, events, distribution acceptance, or other retail outcomes.
