Whether due to M&A activity or simply decay over time, all publishers have title lists with incomplete or improperly entered data that could impact those titles' visibility in e-commerce searches and orders. Small publishers often lack the technical resources to maintain their book lists in appropriate electronic formats. Since a book that can't be found can't be bought, data that is properly and completely entered -- and ready for e-commerce -- is critical to the success of any publisher today.
As the pre-eminent provider of bibliographic data, Bowker has honed file cleanup and enrichment skills to a core competency. Bowker performs such file-improvement services as:
File Assessment
Bowker can tell you where the gaps in your data are, so you can measure improvement -- whether performed by Bowker or your own staff -- against a benchmark.
Data Enrichment
If your titles aren't properly tagged with subject codes, someone searching for them may not find them -- and if a book can’t be found, it can’t be ordered. Bowker can add standard subject codes to your backlist to ensure that sales are maximized for every title.
File Formatting
Bowker can convert your files to the e-commerce standard, ONIX, and maintain them for distribution to all other e-commerce and bibliographic sources, saving you time and money.
Bowker -- ensuring that your titles are available to those who want to purchase them, every time. Contact us today regarding these invaluable services ...
