The dilemma

Frontlist gets the spotlight.
Backlist pays the bills.

Most marketing tools are built for launches — a burst of attention, then silence. But catalog titles don't stop being relevant. They just stop being marketed. Perennial changes that. We help you treat your backlist like the evergreen opportunity it actually is.

68%
of publisher revenue comes from backlist titles, yet most marketing budgets don't reflect that.
3.2×
average revenue lift when authors run evergreen campaigns on their backlist catalog.
90 days
the average post-launch marketing window before a new title is left to fend for itself.

Your catalog is full of
untapped potential.

Perennial monitors reader signals across the web, highlights the right moment to re-engage each title, and gives you the tools to act on it — without rebuilding your strategy from scratch every time.

I published my debut novel in 2020 and assumed it was finished finding readers. Perennial showed me a conversation happening on BookTok about slow-burn romance — and my three-year-old book was right in the middle of it. That campaign added 4,000 readers to my list in six weeks.

We manage 200+ titles at Reverie and we were flying blind on backlist. Perennial gave us a dashboard that actually tells us where to focus. We've reallocated 30% of our marketing spend to backlist titles and our catalog revenue is up 40% year over year.

The Reader Community Hub replaced three separate tools I was cobbling together. My ARC readers, my newsletter, and my sales data are finally connected. I can see which community members drive actual purchases — and invest in those relationships accordingly.
