The massive response highlighted how discount sites like LivingSocial or Groupon could help bookstores and publishers–with the right deal. Read our Groupon for Publishers & Bookstores for more ideas.
Here’s more about the one-day deal: “Pay just $10 and get a $20 gift card to use at Amazon.com, the largest online retailer. Whether you are looking for something usual, like a book, or unusual, like a Borat-style mankini, you’ll find it among the millions of products listed on the site. Or, if you’re hankering for something that really stands out, put your 50%-off gift card toward the revolutionary and bestselling Amazon Kindle device. Just be sure to act fast, because deals like this only happen once in a blue moon.”
