Three routine tasks that will raise your store's profile and help you sell books:

1) Report your bestsellers.

Your input is what makes the Indie Bestseller list unique. It also allows SIBA to generate a list of books that are "Special to the South -- that is, on the SIBA Bestseller list but not any other list.

• Report your bestsellers to the ABA
  
• General info about Bestseller Reporting
  (also has links to downloadable bestseller lists and to the week's "Special to the South" list for stores to use on their websites)
• Southern Indie Bestsellers
• The Special to the Southern List
  

2) Write a review on Edelweiss.

Reviews raise the visibility of stores with publishers. SIBA also publishes them on AuthorsRoundtheSouth.com and in the Lady Banks newsletter, with links back to the reviewing store:

• Edelweiss
  
• Highlights from this week's SIBA store reviews
  
• Read This! Bookstore Reviews on ARTS
  
• Getting your staff on Edelweiss*

3) Add a store event to the ARTS Calendar:

Events are listed in the weekly Lady Banks newsletter, and a more extensive list is sent out of store events for each state in SIBA territory. Stores earn .50 in B3! credit for each event they submit.
