International Sales

One of IPG’s missions is to help our client publishers reach new customers, wherever these potential customers may be in the world. Through IPG’s foreign sales and distribution relationships, our client publishers can elect to have their titles represented for sale throughout much of the book world. In the illustration above, IPG’s international representation is signified by the green area. IPG’s international sales growth has been consistent over the last three years, with many of our client publishers averaging a double-digit increase in international sales.

Our largest partner is Gazelle Book Services. Gazelle is based in the United Kingdom and covers the UK and continental Europe. We have other international partners in key English-speaking territories such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Philippines, Central and South America, and other parts of Asia. We have also added a new partner in China now that the government has started funding acquisition of English tiles for their provincial libraries.

Our international partners have extensive experience in the book trade in their respective markets. We rely on them to set the standards for success, including price points. Discounts offered to our partners are slightly larger due to the high cost of shipping, but the results demonstrate that we have strong partners who can sell countless books.
