2012 Bestsellers and Indie Next Highlights Ideal for Holiday Promotions

With the holiday shopping season in full swing, booksellers looking for help promoting this year’s bestselling titles and indie favorites have readymade tools: The 2012 Indie Bestsellers and the 2012 Indie Next Highlights List. Both offer an array of titles that are perfect for holiday gift-giving or post-holiday reading.

The 2012 Indie Bestsellers Lists feature the year’s top-selling titles — including the 15-bestselling titles in both Hardcover and Trade Paper Fiction and Nonfiction and the top-10 titles in the categories of Children’s Interest, Illustrated, and Fiction Series — at hundreds of independent bookstores nationwide.

The lists are available in PDF, DOC, and HTML formats for use in print and electronic communications to customers. The downloadable, full-color fliers are ideal for displays and can be used as bag stuffers and in-store handouts.

The Indie Next Highlights List is comprised of 20 top titles from this year’s Indie Next lists, including each month’s #1 Indie Next Great Read and eight additional titles that garnered especially strong support from independent booksellers nationwide.

For promotional ease, Highlights titles are included on a downloadable flier with jacket images and bookseller quotes, and on shelf-talkers with bookseller quotes.
