Happy New Year! Here’s $150 from SIBA! The Circle of Sites Banners-for-Dues program returns with more options (only available to indie bookstores that meet SIBA’s criteria as a Core Member)

It’s time to renew your membership dues for next year. Once again, SIBA is offering bookstores free membership if they will participate in the Southern Circle of Sites program and run a banner on their store website for SIBA.

In otherwords, SIBA wants to give you $150.00.

If you allow SIBA to run a banner on your website, we will waive your membership dues for 2011. Banners change weekly, with no other work or requirement from you.

The deadline to participate is April 1st

What’s new for Circle of Sites in 2011?

1. We now offer the option of a horizontal or vertical banner. We heard from many stores that the horizontal banners didn’t always fit into their website design gracefully. For those of you with narrow two- or three-column sites, we now have a vertical option we can provide.
2. In order to be eligible for free membership dues, the banner must appear “above the fold” –that is, visible to viewers without scrolling when they first visit store site.

Stores interested in participating in the 2011 Circle of Sites program should contact Nicki at nicki@sibaweb.com with any questions.
