Salem House Press: The Next Generation in Publishing

The Next Generation in Publishing

 

Imagine if Coca-Cola just remained within the drugstore? Why should books follow that marketing strategy? Books need to expand into other markets like bubble gum and Coca-Cola! But, this time we will not lose the Soda Fountain along the way...

We are providing new ways for independent bookstores to stock more titles without high overhead costs while removing their floor space requirements to do so and expand their future sales by opening up book sales to other markets. By bringing book sales into the gift shop, coffee/tea shops, smoke shop, record store, and convenience store we tap into other markets to build a new desire for reading....These new markets will act as tributaries feeding into bookstores looking for a larger selection and at the same time will remain viable for the mere convenience of one-stop shopping.

Placed as a point of purchase item near the counter to create spur of the moment sales at a reasonable price of $5 literature can compete with a few packs of gum or a few candy bars. They can be sold in a news stand for commuters, in tourist boutiques for travelers to read in their hotels, parred with a good cigar or wine on a summer evening, allow bookstores to take a chance on new authors cheap, in a toystore for the next bedtime story, in museums to compliment exhibits, inform guests at our National Parks, and more!

We distribute our own authors (we are always looking for new ones= $1.25 for authors and $1.25 for us) plus any other authors from other publishing houses ($1.25 for authors, $.75 for Publisher, $.75 for us).

We will be traveling in the Summer of 2022 looking for new stores, authors,ane publishers. If you're interested please email us at info@salemhousepress.com with Flip & Scan in the subject line.
