BOB
CLARK
Sales &
Marketing Consultant
In association with Bookprint,
Thankful Distribution and Thankful Books
With
some 30 years’ experience in the
Christian Publishing industry, Bob is able
to offer valuable sales and marketing
advice to self-publishing authors.
Formerly Sales Director for Kingsway
Publications, Bob worked closely with product marketing
and design and retail and direct distribution. He was
responsible for the development and increase of retail
sales and marketing throughout the UK, running a department
of 12 personnel. Working with independent bookshops,
as well as national Christian book-chains (such as CLC,
Wesley-Owen and SPCK) and General book-chains (WH Smith,
John Menzies, Waterstones, etc), Bob built relationships
with key buyers and distributors around the country.
Though based in the UK, since 1997 Bob has been working
for Cook Communications Ministries International in
the USA (Kingsway’s parent company) as European
Representative, involved in winning translation contracts
from 16 European countries. He is also a speaker and
facilitator at Cook’s ‘International Christian
Publisher Institutes’ held in spring and autumn
in Colorado Springs, using his European contacts to
help developing publishers become economically self-sufficient.
Bob
is able to help Bookprint's self-publishing authors
by advising them on how best to market their books themselves,
whether or not they are also using the services of Thankful
Distribution or publishing through Thankful Books.
Bob is also involved in the overseas promotion of books
by authors using Thankful Distribution, or publishing
through Thankful Books.
