Dear  IngramSpark Author,

 

Certain booksellers and online retailers that purchase content through our wholesale distribution network now require that books purchased within the United States have a 40% minimum wholesale discount. 

  

As a result, IngramSpark’s minimum wholesale discount has been adjusted to 40% for the United States market effective August 31, 2023. Books enabled for distribution must meet the minimum wholesale discount levels outlined in the chart below or they may be removed from distribution.

What do you need to do?

If you want your existing books(s) to remain available in wholesale distribution, you will need to update your wholesale discount to comply with the minimum discount requirements above. If you do not update your wholesale discount by October 30, 2023, your book(s) may be removed from wholesale distribution within the United States.

Did you know...

Over 70% of books printed and sold by IngramSpark authors and publishers already have their wholesale discount set to at least 40%? A wholesale discount of at least 40% allows a book to be more attractive to large online retailers and bookstores for books they purchase from a wholesaler.
