Hello wonderful BookVolume fans,

It’s that time of year again! Adoptions for fall are pouring in and everyone is acquiring inventory left and right! Here are some tips and tricks to help make summer buying faster, easier and more profitable.

• Buy Below Wholesale: Check online listings before going to your wholesalers. Simply set your ‘Max Price’ to fall below or match wholesale prices, so you’re never paying more than wholesale through BookVolume.

• Avoid Returns: Purchase inventory through BookVolume that you know you can sell and source the rest from wholesalers and publishers. This way, you can still take advantage of all the savings online, without all the work and added risk.

• Easy Receiving: Break up large lists into smaller lists to find your items faster, and easily manage the receiving process. This generates more cart IDs, which makes it easier to identify and receive items. It’s also a good idea to include the ‘Custom PO’ or ‘Cart ID’ on the Recipient Name of your shipping address for easy identification.

• Reduce Order Cancellations: The longer your list is, the longer it takes to process. This means that the first book on your list might be bought before BookVolume is finished processing the last book. We recommend shortening your buying lists to no more than 100 titles per list.

• Easy Reporting: Generate custom purchasing reports with the BookVolume ‘Purchase Log’ based on date range, cart PO or ID, ISBN, list name, etc. Once you generate the report, just download/export it as a CSV file to integrate your BookVolume records with the rest of your system.

As always, if you have any questions for BookVolume, please email or call us for customer support! You can also post feedback, questions, or concerns in our forums by visiting www.bookvolume.com/forums.
