What Can SIBA Do for ME?

The SIBA Welcome Kit http://www.sibaweb.com/pdf/welcomekit.pdf is an extensive piece that outlines the many benefits of SIBA Membership.  We’ve added a handy legend to identify the characteristics of benefits noting which benefits save money, or connect with customers, are free, easy, fun, or popular, allow you to be seen and network, and which are high tech or low tech.  Spending a few hours with this brochure is well worth it!

Bottom Line:  SIBA belongs to you.  We want to help you sell more books and thrive in your communities.  Set aside a couple of hours to read this invaluable Welcome Kit.  http://www.sibaweb.com/pdf/welcomekit.pdf

Along with encouraging you to spend an afternoon exploring the ins and out of the SIBA Welcome Kit, we also want to promote the most valuable and popular benefits in a new monthly column Bennie & the Gets!

Bottom Line: Any core member who follows @SIndies and tweets the following: I read Bennie and the Gets! will be entered into a drawing for a free ALL PASS meal ticket at #SIBA11.  The deadline for tweets is Valentine’s Day.

Happy New Year! Here’s $150 from SIBA!

Posted by Wanda in Business on January 10, 2011

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.

Download our Welcome Kit to see other member benefits
Join online (choose “bill me” and put “Circle of Sites” in the comments)
Download a SIBA Dues Form (check the Circle of Sites option on the left)

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.
