SIBA wants to give its bookstores $125!

In order to demonstrate the collective clout of independent bookstores and booksellers in the South SIBA has developed the Circle of Sites Banner-for-Dues program for its members. Core Bookstore members can receive a FREE membership (a $125 value) if they allow SIBA to place a single banner ad on the homepage of their website. As long as the banner is running, your store is considered a current SIBA member.

The banner always promotes a book in print and available at industry standard terms, and always clicks through to the hosting store's own e-commerce for purchase, so no sales or site traffic is ever lost. Banners change every week and can be in horizontal, vertical, or box formats -- whatever integrates most seamlessly with the store's own website design.

The program is popular with publishers, who appreciate the chance to have their title promoted on store websites across the South.

To take part in the banner-for-dues program, stores must have a compatible e-commerce option available on their store website. Both IndieCommerce and Bookshop.org e-commerce platforms are eligible. In fact, since the launch of Bookshop, participation in Circle of Sites has grown and now more than half of the 60+ participating stores use Bookshop.
