Book, Periodical, and Newspaper Merchant Wholesalers
Book, periodical and newspaper merchant wholesalers receive bulk shipments from publishers, maintain warehouse inventory of titles and sell to retailers, libraries and institutions on a reorder basis. For a wholesaler that stocks thousands of new releases, backlist titles and periodicals, the specialists turn retailer orders into pick lists, maintain accurate stock levels with incoming shipments, generate reorder recommendations to publishers, prepare shipping documents and returns, and manage seasonal demand forecasts. Pricing, publisher contracts and sales terms stay with the owner.
