ABC Art Books Canada.
Bringing Canadian exhibition catalogues to the world.
ABC Art Books Canada is the premier distributor of Canadian art publications. ABC represents public galleries - including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and The Winnipeg Art Gallery - and university galleries - including the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Carleton University Art Gallery and McMaster Museum of Art.
National & International Markets.
ABC markets and sells regionally, nationally and internationally from the smallest to the largest outlets, including Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Indigo and Barnes & Noble. All major museum shops, including the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty and Tate Museums are among our regular customers, as are the Louvre and Centre Pompidou. ABC has established standing orders with all major library suppliers in Canada, the U.S.A. and Europe - including Baker & Taylor, YBP, Coutts, Worldwide and Erasmus.
Revenue.
ABC sells to all market segments - English-Canadian, French-Canadian, American, British, French, German - with the result that revenue is higher and cost is lower than any other outreach method, including self-distribution, regional or foreign distribution or multiple ordering sources.
Cost.
The only expense incurred by publishers is the cost of shipping books to our warehouse. And an industry standard distributor discount is the only financial commitment. ABC covers the cost of all promotion and sales: sales catalogues, sales representatives, complete web listings of all publications, electronic and physical promotions, all aspects of shipping and billing, and complete customer service.
