Exhibitions

Marston handles over 3,000 exhibitions each year and can do everything from warehousing and despatching exhibition equipment, to consolidating this and sending it out with books, journals, and promotional materials, monitoring consignments from despatch to arrival at the event, and arranging collection and return to Marston.

 

Mailings

We can arrange to mail out any type of gratis, review, promotional, proof and other complimentary copy on request.  We can also despatch a variety of marketing and promotional material, including clients’ seasonal and subject catalogues.

 

Mailing Lists

To supplement publishers’ own lists, we can provide our clients with labels, Excel spreadsheets or other data formats of their customer accounts, and can even de-duplicate these against publishers’ in-house records.

 

Inspection Copy Service

We routinely handle our publishers inspection copy systems, sending books out on trial, followed by multiple chasing for either payment, return, adoption, or gratis conversion.  All responses are reported to the publisher on a regular basis.

 

Stock Ordering

Marston can generate monthly or twice-monthly orders for clients based on backorders and rate of sale information.  Reports can even be produced by-exception to highlight titles with less than the minimum stock quantities for each title held on our system.

 

Other Services

We can provide a range of ancillary book services, such as jacketing, pricing and repricing, point of sale production, stickering, shrink-wrapping, and bar coding.
