Education

On the third Wednesday of each month, booksellers will have the opportunity to join a webinar to look at a particular feature of IndieCommerce or IndieLite sites. 

A Marketing Meetup will be held on Thursday, January 7, and a Technology Meetup will be held on Thursday, January 14. 

ABA Chief Financial Officer and former owner of Towne Book Center & Cafe PK Sindwani offers booksellers a look at the best reports to run in order to inform their upcoming year’s budget.

The American Booksellers Association will once again host Marketing and Technology Meetups for member booksellers in 2021.

BTW has compiled a list of some of the most helpful recent education resources and matched them with a potential resolution to jumpstart the new year.

Booksellers can also reference two webinars on discount coupons for more information on how to use this feature on IndieCommerce and IndieLite sites. 

The PDF can be downloaded on BookWeb.org. PDF pages can be saved as JPEGs and featured in newsletters and on social media.

Tips include establishing clear expectations and policies, ensuring staff have the necessary technology to perform their work remotely, creating work/life boundaries, and more.

Booksellers from across the country are welcome to register now for NAIBA’s Professional Bookseller Certification program; event management is the first of six courses in the program.
