It`s winter. The holidays are over. For those living in areas where it`s still snowing, & even where it`s just cold or rainy, it`s the time of year when magazines, newspapers, radio, & television are tantalizing us with ads of warm beaches, sunshine, relaxation, water sports, & foo-foo drinks with little umbrellas sticking out of them. Many of us would love to be able to travel to someplace warm, or to a far away place for a new adventure. However, we may not have the time or the resources to do so. Fortunately, Travelers` Tales has just the armchair adventure travel anyone can experience -- the beaches of Thail&, dining on the banks of the Seine, running with the bulls of Pamplona, purchasing a suit in Hong Kong, climbing the Himalayas -- all for only $17.95 (no shots or visa required).O` Reilly & Travelers` Tales have created a national campaign to help you promote Travelers` Tales titles as the ”great getaway -- for cheap”. We`ll provide you with marketing materials (signage, T-shirts, buttons, postcards, special discount for inventory order, ad slick, & book displays) to create a window or in-store display during the month of May 1997. The store with the best display wins an overstuffed armchair fully equipped with an airline style seat belt. We`ll also provide you with shelftalker coupon books with space on the front for you to stamp your store name & address. The coupon is redeemable for 10% off the purchase of a Travelers` Tales book. Your customer simply tears off the coupon from the shelftalker, completes the information (name & address) on the back, & gives it to the cashier when they`re ready to purchase a book. At the end of each month you send us thecoupons used by your customers, & we`ll credit your account. We understand that you might be hesitant to send in coupons with the names & addresses of your customers. The reason for retrieving this information is so you can build your customer list, & so we can send a Travelers` Tales newsletter to your customers informing them of new titles available from their local bookstore -- including a reference to your store. ...
