Reading a book has become one of the ways Filipinos try to stave away the lockdown blues.
However, buying books in a time of a pandemic is difficult, with many brick and mortar stores having to shut down due to restrictions. This has led to the rise in popularity of book sales online.
Big Bad Wolf, a Malaysian book fair, has held its Big Bad Wolf Book Sale in the Philippines several times in the past few years. It has become one of the annual events that Filipino book lovers look forward to.
For this year, the book sale goes online. Starting from June 30 to July 7, the Big Bad Wolf Online Book Sale Philippines 2021 will open its virtual doors and showcase 60,000 book titles for book enthusiasts to browse and purchase at a discount.
By visiting https://signup-ph.bbwbooks.com/, Filipinos nationwide will now be able to enjoy an affordable book hunting experience from the safety and comfort of their own homes with just a click of the button. The 8-day Online Book Sale will be offering discounts of up to 99 percent off the recommended retail price and a host of exciting promotions that are bound to thrill everyone no matter where they live in the Philippines.
After a simple registration process where users will have to create an account on the Big Bad Wolf Online Book Sale Philippines 2021 website, they can easily browse for books by genre or search by keyword(s), title, author, or ISBN number. Book enthusiasts can instantly add their favorite selections to either the wish list or shopping cart and check out by paying via several payment options. Users can also browse for recommendations that include book titles or categories based on their interests.
“During our first virtual launch in 2020, we were delighted to receive an overwhelmingly positive response from customers who were able to buy a whole lot of books they love without burning a hole in their pocket while also enjoying the convenience of having their purchases delivered safely to their homes,” shares Andrew Yap, Co-Founder of Big Bad Wolf Books. “Although we faced many challenges due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we remain persistent in catering to our fans in the Philippines by offering a bigger selection of our ever-growing inventory of book titles and genres that will be easily accessible nationwide through our e-commerce website.”
