Bastion Press Sales & Marketing Changes
(Seattle, Washington; May 8th, 2003): Effective May 12th, Bastion Press will handle sales and marketing of all of its titles to the hobby trade. Osseum Entertainment will continue to handle all sales, marketing, and fulfillment to the book trade. The decision was part of Bastion Press’ long-term business plan, and both Bastion Press and Osseum Entertainment will continue to work closely together on upcoming releases.
“Taking over the sales and marketing efforts was always part of our game plan,” said Jim Butler, President & CEO of Bastion Press. “When we started, Bastion really needed the services and expertise of Osseum as we focused solely on crafting game products and novels. Now that we’ve created a sustainable backlist of best-selling products, it makes sense for us to deal directly with all the distributors.”
Osseum will sell initial orders of Friends & Familiars, Oathbound®: Wrack & Ruin, and the Oathbound: Forged novel (our May releases). Bastion Press will begin direct solicitations for Into the Green, Torn Asunder: Critical Hits, and Oathbound: Arena. Restocks on all titles will be handled directly through Bastion Press.
All major distributors have already set up accounts with Bastion Press so there will be no interruption of service to retail accounts. Any distributor wishing to sell Bastion Press products should contact Jim Butler at jim@bastionpress.com to set up an account.
Steve Creech is now the Director of Media & Marketing Relations for Bastion Press. Steve will be overseeing all matters pertaining to advertising, customer service, retailer relations, playtest coordination, product review assignment and other necessary public relations or marketing duties for Bastion Press. Steve may be contacted at creech@bastionpress.com for questions concerning Bastion Press and its operations.
