26 Years of Book Trade Show Exhibit Experience
Hundreds of Successful Trade Shows




 


Here's your opportunity to give your book, audio/video tape or other product
exposure to the book market, library field, mail order arena, professional educators
and gift shops at a cost you can afford. The average trade show booth now rents for
$1800 and up. That doesn't include tables, carpeting, lighting, union labor, drayage
service, book racks, airfare, shipping, car expenses, meals, hotel bills, etc. You
could spend more than $3500 on just one exhibit alone. By becoming a part of the
N.A.B.E. Book Showcase Exhibits, you can have your books on display
for less than 10% of what it would cost to exhibit your books yourself.
 
Our N.A.B.E. BOOK SHOWCASE EXHIBITS are different from any
exhibiting service. Your book is displayed face-out within its'own special
category, such as Health, Cooking, Children's Interest, etc. Only 50 to 100
books are displayed in each show so your book is not buried amidst thousands
of titles. Then, a professional sales staff, full of enthusiasm and warmth, who
also speak Spanish and French, greet potential buyers. We take time to get
to know you and your book. Personal attention and relationship-building are
the cornerstones of our success formula.


Our N.A.B.E. BOOK SHOWCASE EXHIBITS are bright, well-decorated, and
colorful. We offer Prize Drawings, Free Gifts, Bookmarks and more to increase
booth traffic. A few years ago, a publisher who had placed her book in 3 different
combined exhibits in the same show, told us that after visiting the other two
places, she couldn't believe all the buyers and the activity that was taking place
at the NABE Booth. Authors are encouraged to make an appearance at shows
if they wish. At most exhibits, publishers are given free passes to attend. Even if
you cannot attend, your book will be in good hands. This is our 26th successful
year of showcasing books..experience you can count on!

Highly recommend."  John Harricharan, New World Publishing
