Premiere 2015

In 2015, BulkBooks.com was launched to formalize Premiere's burgeoning bulk order business. That same year, LiveSigning.com was launched to complement the ground book tours (which were becoming less desirable/efficient thanks to the rise of eCommerce), ushering in a new era of online author events. Over the coming years, Premiere iteratively enhanced and built the Premiere Collectibles, BulkBooks.com, and LiveSigning channels into market-leading platforms, experiencing 50%+ overall growth annually since 2015.

Premiere 2018

In 2018, Premiere completed its final ground bus tour, marking the end of the large-scale ground bus tour era. This paved the way for improving the company’s virtual live signing platform that took over the book tour experience.

Premiere 2021

In addition to launching new platforms, Premiere has been investing significantly in its operational infrastructure and team, including the addition in early 2021 of automated packaging equipment to significantly increase the daily capacity of its fulfillment center. Premiere’s team continues to build and incubate new platforms and channels to help authors maximize their book sales in new and unique ways.
