How to make the most of your Winter catalog:

  • Use our direct/saturation mail option for your winter catalog.
  • Imprint your winter catalog with your store info AND a coupon..
  • Insert in local papers.
  • Mail to customers.
  • Prepare to hand-sell by reading the DRCs provided on the Edelweiss list.
  • Place in other retail outlets.
  • Stuff in bags, hand out at your events and other community events.
  • Bring it to local independent living communities and take orders (think local coffee shops, grocery stores, etc!)
  • Have staffers choose a title they think will do well and have a competition to see which title sells the most copies. And the winning bookseller gets a prize!
  • Build a store display. Carry this throughout the store with mini displays in different sections.
  • Add your personal review to the provided shelf-talkers.
  • Include it in book shipments.

The Winter catalog sells books and supports the organization.
Plus, it is FREE to CALIBA members.
