Applications for Books on Demand

The self-publishing business model has evolved because tens of thousands of content creators are frustrated with the traditional business model's wasteful production runs representing five to ten years of book inventory. In addition to Books on Demand for self publishing, there are a number of other applications. Some of these applications could not exist without the ability to produce cost-effective, short run, high quality, hard and soft cover Books on Demand.

The following represents only a few of the areas of application for Books on Demand.

Real Estate

Realtors are adopting the following hard and soft cover Books on Demand: Listing, Selling, Closing, Our New Home, Agent Portfolio, Agent Recruiting, and Relocation Books. Every area of the country has major real estate companies who want to use hard and soft cover Books on Demand to get and retain agents and customers.

Religious Organizations

Religious organizations produce as well as consume large quantities of books. Hard and soft cover books are a source of teaching and revenue for these institutions. Many pastors publish books that can now be tailored to their audience.

Photography

There are many forms of photographic books that can now be created over the web and produced on demand. Wedding accessory books, school club activities, athletic activities, proms, holiday activities, and more, generate images and text that will become memoirs of student and family history.

Scrapbooks

Normally a scrapbook is a one-of-a-kind piece of art produced over many hours. Web-based, digital creation of such treasures will allow reproduction suitable for easy and inexpensive distribution to the family members, which was not previously possible. Digital borders, backgrounds, images, text, etc can enhance the content.

School Yearbooks

Elementary schools, high schools, junior colleges, colleges and universities can create their own yearbook content as a part of the curriculum, and substantially reduce the cost of the books. They can make yearbooks a revenue source for school programs, have the books produced in days rather than months, have additional books produced if order quantities change, and include new content at the last possible moment of the school year.

Custom Catalogs

Artists, purveyors of classic automobiles, boats, airplanes, dogs, horses, jewelry, and others can now create custom catalogs of their offerings and modify the content to reflect changing inventories.

Education

Educational institutions can now produce courseware in small quantities; laboratory workbooks can contain up to date information; Masters and PhD theses and dissertations can be produced conveniently and at significantly lower cost; educators can create books for special classroom projects. Retention of digital files of courseware will allow school administrators to produce books on demand as needed. Thousands of college professors have, until now, unpublished manuscripts that can now be published.

Professional Speakers

Professional speakers are interested in using books on demand to produce their books for a specific audience near the location of their speaking engagements. This reduces the cost of shipping and warehousing thousands of books. Speakers can produce a limited of books and tailor them to a particular audience.

Professional Services/Corporations

Marketing organizations, attorneys, accountants, corporations, and others can produce services portfolios, business proposals, manuals, periodic reports, and other significant documents over the web. They can change variable content easily and produce professional looking books in convenient locations.
