SIBA

SIBA’s Circle of Sites Banner Program -important caveat:  These banner ads are not clickable.  Stores have agreed to this pilot for 2010 with the understanding that no efforts will be made to direct sales of the advertised books away from their stores.  The only way to ensure this is to eliminate the clickability of these particular banner ads.  SIBA offers other opportunities where ads can be clicked, but these are not them.  Thank you for your understanding.  The advertised books in this program are designated Lady Banks' Pick of the Week and are twittered and facebooked to our thousands of friends and followers.

Circle of Sites is a revolutionary new approach to coordinated marketing in the Southern independent bookstore market.  Designed to reach both booksellers and their customers, the program allows publishers to place a banner ad simultaneously on independent bookstore websites across the South, thus offering region-wide exposure.

The SIBA Circle of Sites pricing model is both affordable and effective.  Pricing is based on the week the ads run, increasing as the year progresses. Ads that start their run in the month of January will cost $100, in February the cost is $200, March will cost $300, April: $400, and so on through the height of the holiday shopping season to December, which will cost $1200 per week.  You can book your ad here:
