CAN
members attended the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) in St Louis in
late June. That's the place where the industry meets-publishers, editors,
authors, and especially retailers gather and interact!

CAN members
shared a power point presentation on successful author in-store events and held
a drawing for CAN authored books (gave away over $1600 in books to two
retailers at the show).This photo shows a retailer from Nigeria with CAN members. She was one of the winners.

Our
presentation shared tips from members and showed our members doing events
at sores across the country.

We
also included slides with collages of book covers from the drawings.

Here's a sampling of the slides to give you a glimpse into what makes author events
effective.
