Change is coming but I need your help!
Books for Bugs started because I wanted to help other family's to have access to good quality yet affordable books. Over the years this extended to schools, nurseries, charities & other organisations which has been wonderful.
However as you know over the last couple of years costs just keep going up and we had to therefore eventually put our base price up too.
I've hated this from the start but couldn't see an alternative. . Until now!
Whilst in hospital I have been quietly putting some prices down to see what would happen and those cheaper books are the ones that have been selling the most. The pound range was then relaunched as another test and that has had an amazing response - we've heard from so many families, charities and schools about the difference it has made. This has made me really refocus on our original mission.
So for the last month I've been renegotiating prices, looking at print runs and various other ideas to get you top quality books at the cheapest possible price and we are almost there.
The final hurdle is to cut our overheads further and the only thing I can cut significantly is our advertising which is a risky move- and this is where you come in.
Can we work together to make books cheaper?
I can drop the price providing orders still come in and that requires the best form of free advertising 'word of mouth.' Can you help, long term, not just tonight with any of the following...
Can you interact with our page
Just a like on posts when you see them
Leave a comment occasionally
Share posts if something catches your eye that your friends may also like.
Leave a review after an order or visit on either

Trustpilot or

Tell your PTA , School or Nursery about any offers or events you think will be of interest.
Schools, can you share to your page and local school can you share our open days in your newsletters once a month? (I'll send the blurb!)
We will stock new releases etc too, stock won't change just the prices as much as possible.
Are you in?
If so like this post and if I can get 100 likes I'll start repricing all the new stock from tomorrow.
