Whether it's for Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation, or just to celebrate the sunshine and fresh air, spring is a great time to send a greeting to a loved one.

IndieBound.org now offers three new e-cards [4], featuring animations based on the spring IndieBound DIY designs [5] . These cards provide a great way for indie-loving consumers to send a greeting -- and a powerful reminder to shop local -- to family and friends. As with the holiday e-cards [6] , users can add a custom message, as well as a link to their IndieBound Wish List [7]. Each card can be sent to up to 10 recipients at a time. (To encourage customers to create a Wish List, why not try the Spring Wish List Counter Card? ) [8] IndieBound.org's e-cards are not intended for large campaigns, but ABA members are encouraged to download the animations from the Bookseller DIY [9] for use in store newsletters and other mailings.

Also new to the Bookseller DIY are horizontal banners [10]of the three spring designs.

For help working with these files, or anything else in the Bookseller DIY, contact IndieBound Outreach Liaison Paige Poe [11] at (800) 637-0037, ext. 6668.
