Holiday Catalog Ordering Options

Posted By Nicki Leone, Thursday, May 2, 2024

Winter Holdiay CatalogHoliday Catalog orders are now open for SIBA stores. The catalog program is one of the most important (and cost effective) benefits of SIBA membership, and a centerpiece in the fourth quarter strategy for the bookstores that take part.

What you need to know:

  • Stores can order as few as 500 and as many as 7000 catalogs for FREE. There is no cost to print and no cost to ship.
  • Orders of 1000 catalogs or more are eligible for imprinting for a single set up fee.
  • Stores can request saturation mail service for area zip codes, finding new customers in communities you want to reach.
  • Digital catalogs and professionally designed social media and printable assets are available for all participating stores.

Ordering tips for stores new to the program:

  1. If you are only ordering one box of (500) catalogs, you can use the Express Order option. You'll be done in just a few minutes!

  2. If you are ordering two or more boxes, use the Full Order option, and ask for imprinting. Imprinting can be used not only for your store address and website, but can include incentives like a coupon or special offer to drive traffic to your store.

  3. If you are interested in a more extensive campaign, including newspaper insertion and/or saturation mailing, start your catalog order early so you can have time to work with RAMP to choose how many catalogs to send out and to where.

  4. If you feel uncertain or would like a guiding hand, choose the Concierge Order option and someone will work one on one with you to create a catalog order that best meets your needs and budget. There is no extra charge for concierge service, but starting early will give you time to explore all your options.

The Holiday Catalog program is one of SIBA's longest-running, most popular member benefits, beautifully designed and perfect for both in-store displays and customer mailings. It is also an important element in funding SIBA's programs and support for bookseller development. Many of the scholarships and grants offered by SIBA are directly funded from the catalog program, so bookstore participation is important!

Don't wait to place your orders. Go here to get started.
