Reader

Have you ever attended a conference and found a book waiting on your chair?

Or worked for a company that gave every employee the same book to read?

Maybe you've received a book from a consultant after a workshop or as a thank-you gift from a business.

At Aloha Publishing, we call this bulk book buying or purchasing books in quantity to educate, inspire, onboard, or thank a specific audience. We've found it to be one of the most effective ways to get meaningful ideas into the hands of the people they're meant to serve.

Books have staying power. They sit on desks, get highlighted, shared with colleagues, and referenced long after they're received. A great book keeps working long after it's been given.

When you hand someone a book (an employee, client, new hire, donor, or community partner) you're saying, "I thought of you. I think these ideas will help."

Books also create something valuable: a shared language. When a team reads the same book, conversations improve, decisions become more consistent, and people begin working from the same framework.

Every bulk order supports the authors, editors, designers, and printers behind the book while helping important ideas reach the readers they're meant to serve.

Over the next several months, we're planning to highlight some Aloha Publishing books that make outstanding bulk purchases. We'll share who they're designed for, how organizations are using them, and why they continue creating value long after the final page.

If you're looking for a meaningful way to invest in your employees, clients, or community, we hope this series of monthly emails gives you a few ideas.
