How To Sell Books By The Box & Trunkload

Authors: If you are still selling books one at a time (but you’d rather sell books by the box), it may be time to implement a bulk book sales strategy to sell more books in larger quantities.

What Does It Mean To Sell Books In Bulk?

You can start by using our Raise a Dream BOGO (Buy One GIFT One) method where you encourage attendees at book signings to purchase two books. The purchaser takes one copy of the book home to read and the second copy is donated to a charity that you have preselected. It is great to have the charity present at the book signing to accept the donated books.

We also recommend that you always discuss the arrangements with the bookstore first. Most stores are more than fine with the strategy as they see the potential to sell more books (without discounting the price) while also doing good for the community.
