The PBS Store items are going like hotcakes. Newsletter – September 2006

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

Dear Members,

Well, summer’s now officially over! We hope everyone had great vacations and read a lot of books.
The PBS Store items are going like hotcakes. We have had to re-order BookMates and they have arrived! We now offer larger BookMates for trade-size paperbacks or hardbacks, and also “extenders” to make your BookMate I work with larger books. Get your order in soon, because the BookMate”sale” prices are good only through September 15th. If you want a special-size T shirt, don’t forget to send your request to store@paperbackswap.com, with sizes and quantities. When we have enough special-size items to make up a “lot”, we will notify you by email so that you can place your order. And if you want a color/style/BookMate product that we don’t carry in stock, we’ll be glad to special order it for you! (This is less expensive for you, because our shipping rates are lower than those charged on the BookMate site, and you can receive other items from PBS with your BookMate for no additional shipping!) Just send your special request to store@paperbackswap.com, and we’ll email you when your product arrives. You can then order it through the kiosk, and we’ll ship it to you!

Is it too soon to think about Christmas? We’re considering offering items in the PBS Kiosk that are suitable for gift-giving. One of us will be starting a forum topic on this in the coming days. We hope you will share your thoughts with us. PBS and the store are here for YOU. We need your input!

We are working on making PBS Money usable for anything in the Kiosk! Soon you will be able to buy credits, DC, and your Tote and BookMate from the money in your PBS account. We are still working on the ability to print postage directly onto the PBS Wrapper—stay tuned!

New features are “brewing” over at SwapaCD.com! If you haven’t checked PBS’ sister site out yet, click the link in the left menu to go directly there. You can easily transfer your PBS account information to register at SwapaCD, and you can also transfer credits between the two sites! Just click “Transfer Credits” in the right menu of your SwapaCD account page.

New Items at the PBS Store! Newsletter – August 2006

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

The PBS Tote is a huge success, and we agree with all the feedback we have gotten: I finally broke down and ordered the tote bag. Everyone has raved about it and I really needed a bigger tote than what I had. As long as I was at it, since shipping is flat rate of $8.10, I ordered the mugs, some pens and a couple of magnets. The order came today! Not only was I impressed with how quickly they sent it, but I have to rave about the tote too. It’s huge! It’s sturdy! It has pockets! It has the PBS logo on it- great for spreading the word without saying a word! I like how the bottom is blue so it won’t show the dirt as quickly. The mugs, pens and magnets are nice too, but that tote is WOW! — Jerri C. (ZepFan)

We have heard your suggestions, and have been searching far and wide for similar great values to offer in the store. September will bring several of these: PBS mousepads, travel mugs (in various colors and color combinations), keychain tags, and PBS stickers! And…BookMate book covers in a multitude of colors and designs! These will be the featured item for the first ever PBS “Back to school (and hitting the books) sale”! Prices on the BookMate book covers will increase on September 15, so order early and save! PBS will be the only online used book swapping site to offer these attractive and practical items. We will also be offering extended T-shirt sizes; these will need to be special-ordered in advance (there is a minimum quantity per order, so we need to accumulate a number of prepaid orders). If you want a T-shirt in a special size, send the store an email (store@paperbackswap.com), stating quantity and size. As soon as we receive enough orders, we will bring in inventory and email you to place your order. Remember, your PBS Store purchase not only tells the world how much you love the club, but helps support the site at the same time. We “feel the love”—and thank you!

Yes, we know we have been promising this, but THE PBS STORE is on the verge of opening its doors! We will be offering a host of quality, lovely-logo’d items at excellent prices very soon. You will be able to use your PBS Money account to shop—we will announce when the day is here.

All the best!

PBS Delivery Confirmation with Instant Credits–By now, many of you may have already clicked the green checkmark at the top right of the PBS banner on the site and read about PBS Delivery Confirmation. Robert has been working very hard with the USPS, and is putting the finishing touches on the programming now. It should be available shortly. We are very excited about this new feature, and from the feedback we are getting, we know that many of you are too!

The PBS Store!–We have heard all of the requests for PBS goodies! Your beverage of choice will taste so much better out of an official PBS mug, won’t it? You’ll be supporting the site with every purchase, AND proclaiming to the world how much you love swapping books at PBS. What’s not to like? Come one, come all! Buy for your family, your friends, for perfect strangers! We hope to be able to announce the Grand Opening on the store very soon.

The Club is Growing. And not just in membership. PBS will have be expanding VERY soon in a way that we think you are going to love! That’s all we’ll say for now. Keep an eye on the site for details!

All the best!
