How the Australian Book Industry can get behind ILP

There are many ways that you can help make this campaign a success.

Here are some ideas to get you started

• If you are a bookshop, support the campaign by giving 5% or more of your instore sales on Indigenous Literacy Day (Wednesday 1 September 2010). More marketing ideas for participating bookshops.
• If you are a publisher or supplier, give a dollar or percentage of invoiced sales on that day.
• Ask for gold coin donations at bookshop events, publisher events, staff meetings or conferences.
• Encourage your customers and bookclubs to participate in the The Great Book Swap.
• Spread the word by incorporating information about the campaign (along with an opportunity to make a donation) at industry conferences and trade shows, in presentations to clients, at schools and libraries.
• Demonstrate your support to others by including campaign messages on your sales receipts, invoices and in mail outs or putting a link to this site on your website.
• Use the campaign as a team building and fundraising opportunity within your workplace.
• Find out more about Indigenous literacy and promote discussion with your friends, family and colleagues.
