DIRECT MAIL & SATURATION MAILING PRESENTATION

Watch the video presentation on direct mail and saturation mailing for our GLIBA Holiday Catalog. It has become vital for bookstores to market quickly and directly to their customers at home. We have introduced direct mail and saturation mailing for our holiday catalog this year to support this. As we possibly face another shut down in the fall we want to make sure you can share our holiday catalog directly to your customers.

This catalog includes both national and regional interest titles, and only carry the titles that best suit your store. Current GLIBA members can order up to 12,500 catalogs absolutely FREE and FREE freight! For an additional $150, you can imprint catalogs with your store information, or include a coupon aimed at driving people into your store.

​NEW! Direct Mail Options for Maximum Impact

Picture
We’re excited to offer a new, targeted, cost-effective method for distributing the print catalog. Whether you’re looking to connect with existing customers or bring new customers into your store, you can get the catalog directly into the hands of the people you want to reach with direct mail.

Mail the Catalogs to Your Store’s Mailing List: House List
Do you have a mailing list of customers you know would love to see the Winter Catalog arrive in their mailbox? Supply your mailing list and we’ll send your store’s branded catalog directly to your customers’ homes. With this reminder in their mailboxes, customers can call in an order, shop online, or bring their dog-eared copy into your store for ease of purchasing. 
Mail the Catalogs to Potential Customers in Your Area: Saturation
Do you have potential customers in your area who may not know about your store, or may need a reminder to stop by during the holidays? Saturation is a cost-effective way of reaching potential customers. Saturation mailing sends catalogs to all of the homes on a carrier route
– the grouping of addresses that a postal employee delivers to on a daily basis. You choose the area you want to target and we will get your store’s branded catalog directly to new customers. Here's how: 
1.Tell us how many catalogs you want to send via saturation.
2.We’ll send you a zip code report and map around your store showing the radius where you
can best reach new customers. If you want to look at an area away from your store, we can do that, too, giving you demographic information to reach your most promising potential customers.
3. Let us know which areas look best to you and we’ll mail catalogs directly to those homes.
