NACS Announces Wi7 Survey Winners

Booksellers who completed a short survey conducted by the National Association of College Stores (NACS) [1] at Winter Institute 7’s Consultation Station were entered into a drawing for an iPad and nine $25 American Express gift cards. This week, NACS announced the 10 winners, chosen at random from the Wi7 survey participants who provided their contact information.

The survey responses will be used by NACS to help enhance independent booksellers’ experience of the 2013 CAMEX trade show [2]. ABA’s eighth annual Winter Institute will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, from Friday, February 22, to Monday, February 25, at the same time as CAMEX (Campus Market Expo). At no extra cost, Wi8 attendees will be able to visit the CAMEX trade show floor, where they’ll find a large number of non-book vendors. Among other things, CAMEX will use the Consultation Station survey results to create a map of the floor aimed directly at indie booksellers’ interests.
