Thank you for this video! What is the the margin when buying books from publishers like Ingram? I want to calculate how much inventory would cost me up front. Some idea of how much the publisher charges vs how much the books are sold for would help me out. Thanks a bunch!
Hello! This a very good question. The margins tend to be 50%. What we mean by that, is (for example) when working with ingram , if you order straight through them as a client/independent bookstore, they tend to sell the books for half the price of what you would then sell said books. But this can change between different publishers.
Love these videos! It's neat hearing the inside scoop of an independent shop
More to come!
Great video! Thanks for the information!
Glad it was helpful!
