It is a year since ChooseBooks.com made its official launch. It has been an exciting, busy year.

During our first year we needed to concentrate on adding features to the site and encouraging booksellers to list their inventory so customers would find items when they search.


We now have over 1,000 booksellers and 7 million items in inventory. As we enter our second year, we can concentrate more of our resources on increasing orders and bringing new customers to http://www.choosebooks.com


One of our several new marketing directions is exploring joint ventures with companies that serve our targeted markets. In October we entered into our first joint venture agreement with Booksforever.com.


Gaylord Bros., a company that has served the library and archival community since 1896, established Booksforever.com in 2003. Their goal is to meet the needs of book collectors and archivists for products to repair, protect and preserve books. Since Booksforever and ChooseBooks are non-competitive and since we both target the book collector and archivist communities, we have agreed to promote each other’s services in relevant marketing.

By: Lisa Martin 


After much debate, we have decided on the fee structure for GBM. The new fee structure took effect on January 1, 2004.


We will be offering secure credit card ordering via the GBM Direct program.


Listing fees will be commission based:

No charge to upload inventory.


Commissions based on sales figures as follows:

During a calendar month the first $25.00 in sales are commission free.

From $25.01 to $500.00 is 10% of the sales total (for $500.00 sales our commission will be $48.00).


For sales total in a month over $500.00 our commission would be 5% (for $1000 sales total our commission would be $73.00).


Some of the other services we will be offering may have additional fees.
