2021 GLIBA Winter Catalog

Picture
Picture
The GLIBA Holiday Catalog Rebate is back! 

​
GLIBA will reimburse any GLIBA member bookstore up to $400 that inserted, used saturation or direct mail for this year's GLIBA holiday catalog. Sending the holiday catalog is some of the best and easiest marketing we make available to our stores. Proper documentation must be provided.

We have simplified the rebate process this year. Instead of downloading, filling out and scanning forms we have a very simple one-stop online form. Proper documentation is outlined in the rebate form that can be found here.

A full round-up of information from this year's catalog can be found here. Which includes a downloadable title list, special offers, digital and printable catalog assets for your website, newsletter or in-store displays.


Our annual GLIBA Winter Catalog is one of our most valuable and used programs and this year's catalog is exceptional. Our catalog includes both national and regional interest titles, as well as, titles recommended from our publishing partners specifically for our region and from our own booksellers.

The Winter Catalog is designed to drive in-store and online sales during and after the busy holiday season.

Winter Catalog: Saturation Mail & Info Session

Picture
This session will focus on our annual winter catalog and saturation mailing. In 2020 we added direct and saturation mailing options for stores to send the winter catalog to their customers. Many stores had great success with saturation mailing. As a result we are offering this session to refresh, answer questions and highlight the process of saturation mailing and the winter catalog.

We will be joined by Kathy Lund of Postal Solutions at Quad Printing and RAMP Director of Marketing and Promotion, Suzanne Shoger.

RAMP (Regional Association Marketing & Promotion) is a consortium that includes GLIBA, NAIBA, NEIBA, MIBA and SIBA.


Summer Email Campaign & Winter Catalog

2021 provides fresh opportunities to reach more readers in new ways. In addition to the annual Winter Catalog, RAMP (a consortium of regional associations) is introducing four summer email campaigns. These are FREE customized emails designed to capture your customers’ attention on a regular basis over the summer months, driving online and in-store sales. All you need to do is provide RAMP with a few details and your personalized summer reading program will be good to go!
