Maroma Offers Indian Incense Through ABFFE

Maroma [1], a supplier of incense and other aromatic products from India, is the newest partner in the affiliate program sponsored by the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression [2].

Maroma will contribute to ABFFE 10 percent of each order it receives from an independent bookstore. In addition, it is making an introductory offer of 50 percent off the wholesale price of its two bestselling lines of incense. “We are very pleased to have the support of Maroma,” ABFFE President Chris Finan said. “Like our other partners, 2020 Vision USA and emotionGallery, Maroma is offering booksellers distinctive products at a great price.”

The Maroma introductory offer applies to its Encens d’Auroville display, the Kalki incense display, and an assortment of incense burners. Encens d’Auroville is a display of 14 scents that normally sells for $260; the Kalki display lists for $151 and a set of four burners sells for $12. A complete list of Maroma products is available in its electronic order form at www.maroma-usa.com/order [3]. Maroma can also be reached by phone at (305) 751-8455 or e-mail at maroma@maromausa.com [4].

Founded in 1976, Maroma operates in the planned community of Auroville in rural south India and turns over 45 percent of its profits for the development of Auroville and local villages. It employs over 100 people, mostly women, who work in a clean and pleasant environment and have access to health care programs and savings plans.

The ABFFE affiliate program was launched at BookExpo in 2009 when 2020 Vision USA of Sarasota, Florida, announced that it would contribute $1 for every pair of reading and sunglasses it sold to independent bookstores.
