Parthenon Publishing Launches Print-on-Demand (POD) Publishing Services Division
Parthenon Publishing Inc., a leading provider of integrated custom publishing services, announced today that it has formed Parthenon POD, a new print-on-demand publishing services division.
Print-on-demand technologies have created a highly efficient means of distributing content. Print-on-demand allows for a fast, low-cost, no-inventory approach to reaching a global online audience for publications, whitepapers and other content. Each publication is printed only as it is ordered.
Parthenon POD offers corporations, associations, nonprofits and publishers a variety of services to enable the development, publication and sale of content in both print and electronic formats. Parthenon POD leverages Parthenon Publishing's technology, design and custom publishing staff to ensure a publication meets print-on-demand digital specifications and are available through online retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com and many others.
"The print-on-demand publishing services division is a natural extension of our custom publishing business," said Bobby Stark, Parthenon's president. "Our clients turn to us for a wide range of services to extend their brands and communicate more effectively. Making publications available in a print-on-demand format requires a partner who not only understands how to create successful publications but also how to optimize those publications for print-on-demand systems and the websites that sell them. Parthenon POD helps our clients reach a wider, more global audience for their important publications."
Nashville, Tenn.-based Parthenon Publishing Inc., creates print and digital media to help corporations, associations and nonprofits form stronger relationships with their customers, members and employees. Parthenon's clients include TravelCenters of America, HCA, Psychiatric Solutions, Fleet One, IASIS Healthcare, Spheris and Unum Group. Parthenon recently launched Relay, a collaborative publishing service that allows national associations and local chapters to create more relevant publications for members.
