- 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!
