Sidelines to Explore

Quite often, at NAIBA strategy sessions, the subject of sidelines comes up. NAIBor Susan Kehoe, owner of Browseabout Books in DE and co-dean of the Professional Booksellers School's Basic Bookselling module, graciously compiled and shared a list for us. If you are looking for unique, customized, or popular items, perhaps you can find the perfect sidelines for your store in this list:

Custom vendors:

• Rush Order Tees (t's/sweats/hats/mugs/totes)
• Midatlantic Packaging (bookmarks)
• Lantern Press (they can print almost anything... tshirts, coasters, postcards, blank books, prints, holiday ornaments)
• Deneen Pottery (beautiful handmade mugs)
• Masterpieces Puzzles (jigsaw puzzles)
• Sticker App for stickers

On Faire:

• Sockprints (totes & mini totes- very trendy right now!)
• Salty Sea Co (wooden magnets)
• Blue Poppy Designs (pillows)
• Tipsy Coasters (shockingly... coasters!)
