Hello,

No matter who they're shopping for, holiday shoppers know that books make the perfect gift. Here are some tips to help shoppers find books from your selection this Holiday season.

• Check out our Holiday Shop. We're linking to hundreds of titles, so if you have any of these in your inventory but not online yet, now is a good time to add them. Bookmark our Web Events page to see what else will be featured.
• Take advantage of Gift Sleuth: Gift-givers stop in here to ask advice on what to buy, so this is the perfect opportunity to recommend books and build relationships with buyers. Right now, buyers are looking for a good Eleanor Roosevelt biography, a collectible Freud or Jung book (budget:$250), and many more. Make sure to include a link to the search results or one of your listings in your response!
• Add pictures: When it comes to gift giving, shoppers are comforted by seeing the gift before buying it for their friends of loved ones. You can easily upload photos through your Members Menu. [Read instructions.]
• Carefully describe your books: Your description is your chance to showcase your books to potential shoppers. Help them to understand your book by including detailed condition information and storylines or synopses. Include an ISBN for ISBN-books so we can add synopses, reviews and other important information to your listings.
• Use keywords: Include descriptive keywords with your listings such as themes, subjects, and in some cases, main characters. Remember that your books are presented globally, so include translated keywords as well.
• Review your Shipping Matrix: Shipping costs and accurate delivery times are important to gift-buying customers. Be sure to adjust your shipping to reflect accurate and competitive delivery speeds and shipping costs.
• Check our Books-Wanted list: Every day shoppers who can't find the books they're searching to buy leave us Wants. Thousands of anxious shoppers are waiting for a match. Review this list often and, if you have a match, upload it right away.
