Samples for Publisher's Websites
Whether you are a publisher selling direct to consumer (D2C) from your own website or referring readers to major booksellers, embedding book previews on your product pages will increase the probability that a reader will want to buy the book.
Nothing sells a book like being able to read a sample chapter and get a feel for the content.
Our tools, combined with the Jellybooks Cloud Reader, provide a click & read sample experience for the web. It is simple to integrate and will boost site engagement and sales almost immediately.
How Publishers Can Boost Reader Engagement
Digital previews are a proven winner when it comes to making book product pages and ecommerce pages more engaging and improving the conversion of browsers to buyers. Booksellers report a 5% to 20% uplift in sales for books with previews compared to those without. This is true for booksellers and retailers, and also applies to a publisher's own website and online bookstore.
Our DISCOVERY™ Professional service provides a licence and support for publishers to use preview samples on their own websites and ecommerce pages.
There is only a modest increase of 20% to 25% to upgrade from DISCOVERY™ Light to DISCOVERY™ Professional.
Jellybooks provides a range of tools to integrate samples, including our API and our WooCommerce plug-in, with a Shopify plug-in coming in 2027.
In addition, Jellybooks collaborates with specialised website builders such as BookSwarm and Readerbound, who can integrate samples into publisher websites.
Publishers that already use digital previews from Jellybooks on their websites include Berghahn (UK & US), Cassava Republic Press (UK/Nigeria), Hurst Publishers (UK), Lilliput Press (Ireland), Mercier Press (Ireland), Merrion Press — Irish Academic Press (Ireland), Swift Press (UK) and University of Wales Press (UK).
