Hi SIBA Friends!

This month, I would like to focus on making sure you know about our holiday catalog program through RAMP. Hopefully, you’ve seen emails asking you to sign up, but what is it, and why should you participate? I’m here to tell you!

SIBA’s most popular store benefit, the full-color, professionally designed catalog is the centerpiece of SIBA stores’ third and fourth quarter marketing campaigns. Up to 7000 catalogs are provided free of charge, with the option to request more. Store imprinting, drop shipping, and direct and saturation mailing are all available. Digital versions of the catalog (including Bookshop.org!) are also provided free of charge, and stores can opt in to supporting email newsletter campaigns for their customers. On top of the free catalogs, you also receive other resources that make it easy to order and promote the catalog titles, including marketing resources.

Holiday catalog orders are open through June 15. You should place your order by then, as supply chain and production issues still plague us, and unfortunately, if you miss the deadline, there won't be additional print runs or extras. Make sure you place your order by June 15 so you don't miss out on this easy way to boost third and fourth quarter sales! 

As for me, I’ve been emailing member check-ins (please look for those), working on recruiting new SIBA members, and about to start doing some research on offering mentorship programs. 

I’m so happy to serve SIBA members! I hope you all feel free to contact me any time. I’m happy to email or even video chat, and I love to answer questions and be generally helpful. You can contact me at candice@sibaweb.com any time!
