Shop with your local independent store and keep jobs and money in your community!
Indie-Bound is a community-oriented movement begun by the independent bookseller members of the American Booksellers Association and adopted into Australia by the Australian Booksellers Association in 2011. We'll have more information about what's happening in Australia soon, but in the meantime you can read more about the American movement here.
WHY SHOP INDIE?
1. You're keeping money in the local economy. Did you know that for every $100 spent in a local business, $68 stays in the community versus just $43 when you spend that in a national or international chain?
2. You embraced what makes us unique. You know the feeling - you walk into a shopping centre you've never visited before but it all feels just the same. Independent shops bring character, difference, that special something.
3. You created local jobs. Unemployment is a problem on the Gold Coast. Love That Book and other independent stores employ local people.
4. You created more choice. We choose our stock based on what we know you like and want. Indies can carry a wider range of unique products because we buy for our own individual market.
5. You took advantage of our expertise. You are our friends and neighbours, and we take pride in being able to serve you. We know our range and are passionate about helping you find a book you'll love.
6. We do things the bulk discount chains can't. Not only can we help you find a book on often the slimmest of descriptions, if we don't have what you're after we'll do our very best to order it in for you, plus we bring some of the biggest bestselling names to you, right here on the Coast, in events that are often free.
Thank you for shopping at Love That Book and supporting local independent business.
