New Promotional Pricing Tools

Findaway Voices by Spotify -

Now you can submit promotional pricing for your audiobooks at any time for select partners.

Findaway Voices customers now have more control over their promotional pricing strategies than ever before. We’re thrilled to roll out a beta tool that allows you to submit promotional pricing requests for your audiobooks at any time. No more waiting for monthly submission forms!

When you log in to Findaway Voices, you’ll notice a new Marketing link in your sidebar. On this page, you’ll be able to submit a promotion request, view active promotions, scheduled promotions and past promotions.

Note: If you’ve participated in promotional pricing in the past via our monthly emails, those promotions will not be viewable on this dashboard.

Which Retailers Support Promotional Pricing?

The new promotional pricing tool supports discounts for:

  • Apple Books
  • Chirp

Remember to only select partners that you are currently distributing your audiobook to!

Important Details

This is important: once a promotion has been submitted, it cannot be changed, edited, or cancelled.

Think of submitting a promotional price as a contract between you and the retailer(s). Retailers get to see upcoming scheduled promotions in their data feeds, which can potentially influence merchandising opportunities, so there's an expectation that they won't disappear or change.

Some other important items to remember:

  • When you set a promotional price, you are setting a promotional list price, not setting the sale price to the consumer (remember, you never get to set the sale price to the listener). The promotional list price will override your retail list price for the date range you choose, on the retailers you've selected, and thus affect your royalty.
  • Retailers are not obligated to provide additional merchandising support or featured placement for discounted titles.
  • If a retailer rejects your promotional pricing for any reason, your standard retail list price would apply.
  • Promotions must be scheduled at least 3 days in advance and cannot be active for longer than 31 days, or shorter than 1 day.
  • Future promotions cannot be scheduled further than 6 months in the future.
  • You can have more than one promotion for the same book, but the effective dates cannot overlap.

You may set your price as low as free, but some retailers may require a $0.99 minimum price point. In those cases, we would set the promotional price to the retailer’s minimum and generate royalties at that rate.
