Marston has developed a speciality and expertise in distributing Christian books and related material, and is now one of the leading distributors in this field, providing a high-quality service to both our publishers and customers.

 

Bookshop and Trade Accounts

Marston has approximately 45,000 trade account-holding customers in well over 200 countries.  With strong connections to the book trade generally, we also service about 13,800 Christian customers, from Christian bookshops and wholesalers, to schools and local education authorities, churches, Sunday schools, church societies, and charities.

 

Despatch

We endeavour to despatch all orders received by 1pm on the same day – a special service that we offer to designated UK-based Christian retailers.  This applies not only to books, but also to the growing range of ancillaries that our Christian publishers now produce – posters, notecards, fliers, stickers, and so on.

 

Customer Services

We have a dedicated customer service team, all of whom have been specialising in this area for many years.  The team is highly knowledgeable and are able to provide unparalleled help and advice to customers.

 

UK Christian Booksellers Convention

Every year, Marston has a stand at the Christian Booksellers Convention – a great opportunity to meet our many customers and account holders and also allowing us to provide back-up support for our publishers who are displaying their books at the Convention.

 

The Christian Calendar

Our specialist Christian team know how to react to requirements at different times of the year and is able to respond quickly to the demands that these events bring.

 

Sales Information

Christian publishers sell to a very diverse range of customers, and the monthly suite of sales reports give access to detailed sales information on all accounts, allowing publishers to easily upload that information into their own spreadsheets for analysis.
