NAIPR’s Metadata Solution for Publishers Up and Running
NAIPR and Above the Treeline are pleased to announce the availability of NAIPR Enhanced and NAIPR Premium within Edelweiss.
NAIPR Enhanced and NAIPR Premium complete the product offering available from NAIPR’s Metadata Solution for Publishers. These new solutions are perfect for publishers who depend on independent sales reps and independent booksellers to achieve their publishing goals.
“Now that we have launched NAIPR Enhanced and NAIPR Premium,” says Rob Rooney, executive director of NAIPR, “we can get to the important job of explaining the benefits and value of our products to publishers, booksellers, and sales reps. Our new products offer great economies to publishers, while offering great productivity tools for booksellers and sales reps.”
John Rubin, CEO of Above the Treeline, adds, “We’re thrilled to see the launch of NAIPR’s Metadata Solution for Publishers and the continuation of a successful partnership with NAIPR. Now we can both offer a robust alternative to publishers who may not need the complete Edelweiss solution, but would love to offer their independent reps and their accounts access to the suite of Edelweiss sales and buying tools. Publishers subscribing to these new service levels will empower reps to efficiently sell, promote, and market their new titles, and, most importantly, will make it easy for booksellers to buy them.”
The president of NAIPR, Eileen Bertelli, concurs. "NAIPR Metadata Solutions provides our publisher clients, our bookstores, and our membership with the most up-to-date, user-friendly tools available for a sales and marketing interface."
Both Enhanced and Premium offer much of the full functionality of Edelweiss. The two new service levels provide the flexibility and convenience of Edelweiss for importing information and for ordering from the publisher or preferred vendors.
The Enhanced level allows reps for those publishers to fully use all of the Edelweiss sales and contact tools for markup and sharing these catalogs with their customers. Enhanced allows titles to be included in electronic catalogues but without full text and any graphics.
With Premium, all the features of Enhanced are available plus unlimited text and full-color graphics, including covers and interior images.
With NAIPR’s Metadata Solution for Publishers now fully implemented, publishers of all sizes have lots of options to get the right coverage at the right price for their programs.
