Listen again to our first webinar from the autumn series, exploring the upcoming marketing campaigns supporting the end of the year bookshop sales
Marketing campaigns in the lead up to the holiday season
It might be hard to believe we are almost entering the final quarter of the year, especially for those of us lucky enough to be enjoying the last remnants of summer. However, uncertainty along the supply chain within the book sector, staffing, and safety challenges are calling for even earlier planning than usual for the upcoming holiday season.
Aiming to encourage customers to buy gifts early, thus avoiding disappointment and last minute rush sales, the American Booksellers Association (ABA) last year launched a very successful marketing campaign: 'October is the new December'. As fall approaches, ABA is re-releasing the campaign, providing support to booksellers as they head into their busiest months of the year.
We welcomed Courtney Wallace as our guest speaker for this EIBF Webinar. As ABA's Marketing Manager, Courtney is ideally positioned to share a few insights from the campaign with us, focusing on the uptake and campaign's successes.
