Thanks for Shopping Indie Signup Continues

Promo codes now available

ABA member bookstores still have time to sign up for Thanks for Shopping Indie, the multi-publisher promotion that kicks off with the celebration of Small Business Saturday on November 30, the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Booksellers who are new to the promotion must sign up via the registration form on BookWeb by October 14 (a BookWeb user name and password are required). Bookstores that participated in Thanks for Shopping Indie last year have been automatically signed up for this year’s promotion, but they may opt out by e-mailing Senior Program Officer Joy Dallanegra-Sanger with the subject “TfSI opt-out.”

Participating stores must agree to mount a Thanks for Shopping Indie display of bookseller-chosen titles from November 30 until December 7 or later. Each of the promotion’s titles has appeared on an Indie Next List or Indie Bestseller List during 2013, and each comes with its own built-in holiday present for booksellers to share with their customers.*

Booksellers have close to 80 titles –– including adult fiction and nonfiction, hardcover and paperback, and broad selection of children’s books –– from which to choose. The promotion titles, now with promotion codes, may be viewed in an Excel spreadsheet available here.

Thanks for Shopping Indie titles can also be easily located on Edelweiss. There’s a link to Thanks for Shopping Indie on the Edelweiss Buzz page and featured titles are marked with a “T” icon.

Display and promotion materials, such as downloadable logos, table cards, web banners, and posters, will be available soon in the DIY’s Designs and Downloads.
