The 2026 Holiday Catalog

Reserve your spot in the 2026 NEIBA Holiday Catalog!

For New England independent bookstores, NEIBA's Holiday Catalog is both a beloved tradition and an essential marketing tool. The Holiday Catalog is a full-color print and digital catalog produced every holiday season for NEIBA member bookstores. With more than 100 book titles across genres from a diverse range of publishers/imprints, the Holiday Catalog is a one-stop-shop for readers looking to gift a book to everyone on their holiday lists!
Catalog Campaign

Bookstores order print copies of the catalog free of charge (and can imprint with their own branding for a small fee). They can then insert catalogs in local newspapers, mail them to their customer list, have them delivered to households in nearby zip codes via USPS, or distribute them in-store. Stores stock up on titles advertised in the Holiday Catalog and create displays, which are featured on social media (totaling over 300,000 impressions on Instagram alone!).

More than 100 NEIBA bookstores participated in 2025's campaign—close to half of our member stores—distributing nearly 700,000 print catalogs throughout the region! An average of 20% of Holiday Catalog titles appear on the NEIBA bestseller list during the holidays. View the 2025 NEIBA Holiday Catalog here.
