Template Letter to Potential Affiliates
Here's a sample letter you can adapt and send to authors and organizations to ask them to consider adding an independent bookselling link to their websites.
 

Hi,

I’m writing from [[bookstore or organization name here]] to ask you to consider adding an independent bookselling link to your website. The ABA IndieCommerce Solution provides book consumers access to more than three million titles, available for purchase through more than 200 local independent bookstores.

By becoming one of our more than 2,000 affiliates, you will offer visitors to your website the opportunity buy your book from an independent bookstore, an alternative many people prefer. By supporting local businesses, you help keep tax dollars in the community and help prevent the "malling" of America. Plus, you'll earn valuable affiliate commissions for every referral that results in a sale!

Thanks in advance for giving your website customers a choice.
