For Vendors
Make the best efforts where they will bring you the best rewards and partner with us. Independent College Bookstore Association is the only nationwide, professional association of independent, institutional college bookstores. From large stores to small stores, from coast to coast, our job is to serve our members and the vital independent college bookstore industry.
ICBA offer vendors unique opportunities to reach the strongest college store market.
Unlike many other organizations, ICBA does not have a vendor or associate "membership". Consequently, you do not pay any dues to ICBA. Instead we invite companies to partner, support and reach ICBA Member Stores via one or more of the following ways:
- Become an ICBA Buying Program Vendor through the Invitation to Negotiate process
- Participate in PRIMEtime or PowerHall at the annual ICBA Retail Conference
- Receive mailing labels and other benefits through a Vendor Subscription
