Last year saw great changes for Bookvault, with numerous development and platform upgrades. The upcoming year will be no different, Bookvault will continue to strive to offer the ideal platform for authors and publishers.
Our Plans for 2023
- For the beginning of the year we will be focussing on an overhaul of our publishing and wholesale offering, ensuring users can achieve maximum visibility and control compared to other POD providers.
- Throughout the first half of the year we will be setting our sights on even more plugins and integrations, something that we ended 2022 with. We currently provide integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce, Zapier and Payhip, and plan on further expanding this range for our authors and publishers. We will also be setting up integrations through social platforms, making selling on major social spaces even easier.
- Into the second half of the year, we will begin to introduce further products available to both authors and publishers, allowing you to produce on-demand merchandise such as mugs, calendars and apparel. These products will be an amazing way to increase your revenue streams connected to your writing. This will integrate into your direct sales, giving your online store more variety for your readers!
- As we close the year, we will be further increasing our bespoke offerings to include premium features such as ribbons, head & tail bands as well as more advanced foiling. This will be ideal for pre-release launches, giving readers something bespoke for that extra special feeling.
Increased Feasibility of The US Market & Other Sectors
We’re continuing our talks with US printers to try and locate a partner who matches our values, quality and service levels. With the current climate, this hasn’t been easy, but we’re edging closer to localising printing for US orders and giving you more control over how your books are produced. As always, this will continue to be our top priority and we’ll continue to keep you updated as and when we can.
We’re also excited to explore new global markets and sectors to increase your titles’ reach and inevitably increase sales.
Have your say!
As always, we’re always open to suggestions on how Bookvault can be improved and work better for both the Publishing & Indie community. Over the coming months, we’ll be sending over surveys to help identify areas of improvement within the platform and our services as well as how we can expand to help you reach your goals!
