Publishing Analytics Dashboards
With the development of digital information over the past years, publishers have been enduring rapidly evolving challenges and opportunities in the digital space. Publishers have to find ways to adapt quickly to the market in order to turn informational challenges into revenue and opportunity. From bestsellers to reviews/ratings, from book genres to year published, publishers are dealing with more and more data streams and considerations in order to stay competitive.
Publishers posses a large amount of data. To analyze this data, there are many indicators for publishers to consider, including rankings, market share, dynamic sales varieties, inventory ratios and so on. These key performance indicators reflect various aspects of book sales from different perspectives by categories, and different publishers can choose effective indicator combinations according to their needs, to form a data system that reflects the status of published books.
In addition to the book sales data of particular editions, publishers will also focus on the sales, delivery, and store response of similar books in the national market. The sales volume and ranking of particular editions and the national market sub-category rankings are also of concern.
