Bookseller recommended titles help our publishing partners better understand the needs of our region.

Get your orders in as early as possible if you are considering saturation or direct mailing.

Order your FREE Annual GLIBA Winter Catalogs today! Take advantage of one of our best marketing tools. 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. There are lots of ways to use your catalogs: mail them to your customer list, use them as bag stuffers, put stacks of them on your holiday display, or insert them into your local or regional newspaper.

Back this year is the Holiday Catalog Rebate. GLIBA will reimburse any member store up to $400 when they mail the holiday catalog to their customers.


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!
