If you are visiting this
site you are probably the type of person who, in addition
to loving books, likes supporting independent businesses
when you can. If you're reading this, you might be
ready to sell your book online or recommend your favorite
books to others on your website.
We all know that Amazon
offers an affiliate program to sell practically everything
from computers to Kleenex. In fact they're the
Wal-Mart of the internet. It's easy to link to them.
But consider this
before you add that Amazon link:
- It's easy to link
to us too! In fact, if you have problems or
need help (even with picking out a book to recommend)
you can call us and and an actual person will help you.
- We offer every book
in print - (just like Amazon) and we even have
around 14,000 ON OUR SHELVES.
- We offer Free
Shipping for Online Orders over $50. Not just
pre-selected "supersaver" items.
- We offer virtually
the same affiliate rate as Amazon.
- We pay commissions
quarterly - just like Amazon. And you don't
have to accrue a certain amount of money to get a
check... I just send it already - better than Amazon.
- It's good for the
St. Louis Community. Left Bank Books (and other
locally owned businesses) return about 45% of each
dollar spent back to the St. Louis community. Not
only that, dollars spent at local independents like us
have a "multiplier effect" - every dollar spent will
generate five times that amount as it cycles back
through the community. (Amazon funnels all your dollars
right out of your wallet and right out of your town.)
