Charlesworth Sales

Charlesworth China has a range of standard agreements, developed in cooperation with various Chinese agencies. Over 50 contracts are currently in force, covering categories such as:

On-line agreements (National)
The Charlesworth Group is the leading agent in China for promotion of national site licenses to access on-line content. We have exclusively negotiated and managed contracts for many Publishers over the last four years.

Online agreements (Consortia or single site)
Through our detailed knowledge of the Chinese academic sector, we are able to specifically match buyers with sellers, identifying the best potential targets for many academic disciplines.

Full price print subscriptions
This is a relatively new type of contract, designed to fulfill our strategy of consistently improving clients' income streams from China. They are used in conjunction with a tailored marketing plan, targeting potential new subscribers and the renewal of existing subscriptions.

Discounted print subscriptions
This is an 'entry level' contract for those publishers new to the market or wishing to expand sales to Chinese Libraries with less funding. They are carefully managed to ensure that sales do not compromise existing full price subscriptions.
