Streamline Management of Reprints and ePrints


Article reprints and ePrints are an essential revenue stream for publishers, but the resources needed to respond to pricing inquiries and manage printing, delivery, and billing for both routine and more complex requests create significant operational burdens. A lack of a dedicated staff and systems to effectively manage your reprints business could negatively impact customer satisfaction, productivity, and lead to lost revenue.

CCC developed Reprints Services for Publishers to help alleviate this strain and manage your organization’s reprint and ePrint process, saving you valuable time and resources while delivering greater value to your customers.

Some Considerations

Think about the current state of your organization’s reprints operation and consider the following:

  • What challenges do you currently face in fulfilling reprints requests?

□   Incoming requests for bulk article reprints and ePrints are resource-intensive

□   Lack of dedicated staff and processes to manage incoming inquiries

□   Routine article requests with little revenue contributions get overlooked

□   Communication with our printing partner is poor

□   Obtaining and providing status updates on proofs, printing and shipping is time consuming

□   Difficulty with delivery

□   Difficulty with billing

□   Current outsourced reprints service is poor

□   All the above

Do any of the challenges above hit home for you? Are you handling reprint and ePrint inquiries alone or with part-time staff? Is your team being pulled away from essential work to chase down orders, field customer questions, and deal with billing issues? Are you getting the articles your customers need to them quickly enough? Are you effectively tracking how well your reprints operation is performing? CCC can help.
