Romancing Your Sales ​Do you know if there are romance readers in your store? Are you making them welcome, training staff to destigmatize genre reading? Learn how you can communicate to authors and readers that you are a safe space for genre and learn how today’s fan behavior mobilizes loyalty and sales like never before in this avid consumer base. Cultivate a shortlist of titles to keep in stock, assemble a team of author and reader experts to cultivate what goes on your genre shelves, and learn how to harness the grassroots power of this social-media savvy audience to help accelerate book sales.

Hiawatha 1

​Independent Bookstores & Indie Authors Working Together

As more and more authors look to self-publish their books, they are consistently looking for advice from their local independent bookseller. In the past, self-publishers may have posed more of a nuisance to a busy bookseller. But today, many bookstores are seeing this as an opportunity to turn authors into customers. The ways in which independent stores work with self-published authors are as unique and varied as the stores themselves. Different models for working with self-published authors will be discussed, from consignment to creating a store-specific publishing program. This not only brings new content to readers, but adds value to the entire publishing industry. This session will showcase current booksellers who have successfully built such programs and introduce you to IngramSpark, a publish-on- demand service for authors. Learn how to bridge the gap in conversations between a bookseller and author; find positive solutions for rejecting and re-directing authors; utilize IngramSpark for in-store publishing programs.

Hiawatha 2

Moderator: Nancy Rohlen (Ingram). Panelists: Josh Floyd (Ingram), Annie Metcalf (Magers and Quinn), Suzy Takacs (The Book Cellar), Kate Schlademan (The Learned Owl)

10:15–11:15 am

ABA Presents: Understanding and Acting on your ABACUS-15 Report ABACUS is important because it is the only financial benchmarking tool for the independent bookselling industry.

Booksellers who participate in the confidential survey receive a customized report that puts their store’s finances within a fully intelligible industry framework, which provides context, insight, and essential benchmarking guidelines to improve financial performance. Booksellers nationwide in markets of all sizes have found ABACUS to be an essential key to strategic and business planning, access to capital, negotiations with landlords, and much more.

ABA will share information about ABACUS participation and will review top-line financial data from this year’s report to demonstrate how booksellers can use the information to improve their business’ performance. Come with your questions and leave with a better understanding of what ABACUS is and how to use its data.

Tracks Independent Bookstore Day, held on the last Saturday of April, is a one-day celebration of indie bookstores, bookselling, and the entire literary ecosystem. At its core are exclusive, just-for-indies books and literary items from major publishers and authors. In 2016, 430 bookstores around the US participated, generating an average sales increase of 200%. Four Midwestern stores, some initially skeptical, talk with the national IBD program director about what works, what doesn’t, and why you should JOIN THE PARTY!

2:45–3:45 pm

Moderator: Kris Kleindienst, Panelists: Samantha Schoech from Independent Bookstore Day, Joanna Parzaknois (The Bookbug), Matt Keliher (Subtext Books), Kris Kleindeist (Left Bank Books), Nina Barrett (Bookends and Beginnings) Marketing Workshop with Beth Golay of Books & Whatnot We all promote and market our bookstores, but do we know what’s working or why it is? Discuss hands-on examples of ways you are already marketing your bookshop with tips and tricks to make life easier. Websites, email marketing, and social media are already parts of our marketing strategy, so come see examples of what works, what we can all do better, and most importantly why these techniques work.

Two Hour Sessions 2:45–5:00 pm

Education for Authors: Taking Part in the Indie Renaissance ​Indie bookstores are the movers and shakers of the bookselling world, helping authors build their careers. How can authors take best advantage of this? In this session, we invite all Heartland authors (that is, traditionally published authors) to learn from education designed precisely for them. We’ll cover social media, how to reach out to indies, preparing for indie events, what a fantastic author event includes (ie, not a lot of reading from your book!) This is a two-hour session, and if not all time is used for education, we encourage authors to mingle and get to know one another.
