What we ask of our partners
Our partnerships are built on mutual support. Here's what we need from you to keep the relationship active and valuable for both sides.
Directory listing permission
Grant us permission to list your store in the Phictly Partner Bookstore Directory — visible to all Phictly readers on our website and in the app.
In-store display materials
Accept and display our quarterly marketing materials in your store. We send these to you — just put them up. This helps us grow our shared community of readers.
Monthly event submissions
Share a list of two events you'd like us to promote each month. Submissions must be received at least one month before each event date so we can plan our promotion calendar.
Monthly book & author spotlights
Share three books or authors from your network each month that you'd like us to spotlight to the Phictly community — helping drive discovery and sales for titles you care about.
