The Onix Central Title Store
All the information related to your title - all in one place. Isn't that just sensible?
The right information, at the right time, in the right place...
The most cost-effective way to sell more books is simply to provide more information about them, well in advance of publication. That's it. There is no great mystery.
This is why the Onix Central Title Store contains the most extensive bibliographic database currently commercially available.
So for instance, we don't restrict you to information about the current publisher alone. If you wish, you can capture details about the publisher of the original language edition, or a publisher from whom the book was acquired, or a co-publisher, or a sponsor.
Comprehensive yet straightforward
We take this philosophy into every single area of the system. All your title information, from ISBNs to rights, and from pricing to suppliers; from marketing descriptions to all the linked images and files and as much stuff as we could cram in - all in one intuitive, searchable, sortable database accessible to all. But if you want to keep it simple, you can. And with our uncluttered, intuitive interface that couldn't be easier.
One version of the truth
No more fragmented spreadsheets or aging Access databases. No more cutting and pasting from old Quark files to update your website. One single source for populating your website, generating your catalogues and managing your title information. Oh, and of course all fully Onix compliant, with built-in outputs for all principal Onix recipients (Nielsen; Bowker; Amazon; B&N and many more). And if you need to just generate a simple Excel spreadsheet we also have straightforward exports to services such as Amazon Advantage all included for you.
More information - more sales
Don't take our word for it. Look at the real world statistics. As Joe Gonnella (VP for Inventory Management and Vendor Relations at Barnes & Noble) pointed out: simply adding a cover image to a title increases sales by 60% across 20,000 titles they sampled. Yet 63.7% of the titles in their database lack basic title commentary including, of course, covers.
Make sure the right information about your titles is in the right place. The Onix Central Title Store: the most complete off-the-shelf bibliographic database available, and the most affordable. Don't miss a sale again.
