In time for the holidays, Macy’s Inc. is offering all its employees a 40% discount on the Square One title Macy’s: The Store. The Star. The Story. The book, which pubbed in April, is a lavishly illustrated history documenting the iconic store’s evolution over the past 150 years. It is available as a $29.95 hardcover and as a $24.95 paperback. The employee discount applies to both formats.
A rep from Square One said Macy’s employees were notified of the offer last week, and the publisher is handling all orders directly. So far, it has more than 200 orders from Macy’s employees.
In March, when Square One was profiled for PW’s fast-growing small publishers feature, the house said it remains dependent on special sales to boost its bottom line and the deal with Macy's is another example of how it searches for sales.
