[Why It Works] Selling Better Than Bookstores? Why Publishers Choose wadiz Over Bookstores
These days, at bookstores, a book is labeled a “bestseller” if it sells just 300 copies a day.
But what about wadiz?
Even without a major publisher behind them, projects can sell 2,000 copies in just two weeks.
Today, I’ll sharethree reasons why book publishing thrives on wadiz!
Reason #1: It sells even without bookstores? It sells precisely because it’s not in bookstores
Fierce competition rages within the limited shelf space of bookstores.
Books that aren’t trendy or haven’t had a significant marketing budget often struggle to even make it onto bookstore shelves.
But it’s different on wadiz.
It attracts a readership seeking new experiences that are hard to find in bookstores.
Books with high collectible value and clear themes—such as art books, exhibition catalogs, and complete works—
actually receive a more enthusiastic response on wadiz than in bookstores.
Compared to large bookstores that target the general public, channels like wadiz—which have a distinct fan base—
are actually more effective sales channels for gaining significant attention.

Reason #2 for its success: Out-of-print titles can be sold on wadiz!
If you’re a publisher, you’ve probably thought about this at least once: the “backlist” inventory piling up in your warehouse.
These are books that sold well briefly upon release but have gradually lost attention over time.
But on wadiz, backlist titles can become a new opportunity.
Create an engaging product page that tells the Story behind the relaunch of these older titles,
to highlight the book’s concept and collectible value.

Reason #3 for Success: Secured Pre-Publication Production Funds on wadiz!
The biggest advantage of wadiz funding is
is that you can start funding even before the book is released.
When various costs—such as production and printing fees—are needed ahead of the official release,
you can secure those funds in advance through wadiz funding.
New readers you meet through funding
can become loyal fans of the publisher long after the book is released, creating a virtuous cycle.

wadiz is a “new breakthrough” in publishing!
While trends and marketing drive sales at bookstores,
on wadiz, you can compete based on the book’s intrinsic value.
Whether it’s a new release, an older title, or even just a manuscript before publication, this is a place where you can create opportunities.
