Indies First 2022

 

 

Get Ready for Indies First 2022

Author Celeste Ng will be promoting this year’s celebration of Indies First, which takes place on Small Business Saturday, November 26.

 


Here's how to make the most of Indies First:

  • Log into BookWeb to see a range of special publisher offers for booksellers.
  • Take advantage of additional holiday marketing assets to promote shopping local, gift cards, and more.
  • Promote gift cards! Encourage customers to give the gift that everyone wants and that invests in your store’s future — and the gift that’s COVID-disruption-proof in terms of supply chain. 
  • Be creative, whether celebrating in-store or spreading the message on their websites, in newsletters, or across social media platforms.
  • Ask some of your favorite and local authors to kick off Indies First and Small Business Saturday by promoting your store for the holidays or posting a short video for you to share.
  • Remind people to shop now, shop local, and put indies first.
