“Simply Audiobooks has simply identified a better business model for audiobook distribution,” said Sean Neville, CEO of Simply Audiobooks. “People who listen to audiobooks are true audiobook lovers. They listen to audiobooks on a regular basis—commuting in their car, while traveling, or during their daily exercise. What Simply Audiobooks offers is selection, availability and convenience.” Borrowing from the online video rental model popularized by Netflix and Blockbuster, Simply Audiobooks makes its products available on a revolving rental basis. For a monthly fee as low as $15, Simply Audiobooks subscribers are able to request one book at a time (or two books for $25) through the mail for personal listening. Based on the typical usage experience, club members are able to experience four to ten times the number of books through Simply Audiobooks that they would by paying for an average audiobook title at Barnes & Noble or Borders. Simply Audiobook’s formula has taken it to the top of the Internet retailing field. Internet Retailer magazine lists the company as one of the top 50 retailers on the Web, alongside such giants as Netflix and the iTunes Store. Simply Audiobooks is ranked 489 on the magazine’s 2006 chart of online eCommerce Web sites by revenue. Despite being copied by at least five other firms, it is the largest pure audiobook company in the world—bigger than all other competitors combined. “With 12,000 titles available for immediate delivery, Simply Audiobooks far outpaces libraries,” noted Neville. “Audiobook lovers are willing to pay for availability. They have the option of waiting months for the hottest best-seller to become available at the library—or they can get it today from Simply Audiobooks. And our huge selection means that even obscure books are often obtainable.” Despite its dominance of the audiobook rental market, Simply Audiobooks has created other options for customers. It’s download service allows customers to purchase audiobooks for download over the Internet to PCs and ultimately to MP3 devices, and has become the second largest on the World Wide Web. Through download, audiobook lovers receive instant gratification, along with a selection of 4,000 top-selling titles in fiction, non-fiction, business, suspense, sci-fi/fantasy, children’s and much more. Prepaid Model Simply Audiobooks is the only rental company to offer a prepaid rental option, enabling subscribers to pay up front for a full year’s worth of audio listening. Plans are cancellable at any time, with refunds prorated at the discounted rate—a much-appreciated policy among subscribers.
