Midwest Indie Bookstore Roadmap
Reserve Your Promo Panel

Reach 60,0000 book lovers throughout our 9-state Midwest region via our consumer-facing print promotion
The Midwest Indie Bookstore Roadmap, now in its third year of production, is a promotional tool that increases awareness about the thriving independent bookstores in our region, with the ultimate goal of driving sales to brick and mortar stores. The map features book-related promo panels on the back, providing year-round exposure to thousands of proven bookstore customers. ​

The map is a beautiful print piece--an old-school foldable roadmap that lovers of the printed word covet each year. 

​Here's what we do...
  • We work with the artist Kevin Cannon to create custom drawings of each member bookstore (as well as a listing of nonmember bookstores) 
  • We distribute up to 500 roadmaps to every bookstore free of charge
  • Roadmaps land on Bookstore Day to feed into the nationwide celebration
