INNOVATIONS
The start of the new millennium ushered in exciting innovations at National Book Store.
 
A loyalty program named Laking National, which literally mean, “having grown up with National Book Store”, was launched. The program underscored the affinity of the company’s brand with its most valued and loyal customers. Laking National was created to retain its most valuable customers and provide additional value for the business they have given National Book Store over the years. Members are given exclusive discounts on selected items, exclusive privileges and services, as well as benefits from partner establishments.
   
A magazine-type product catalog showcasing the latest in school and office supplies is produced yearly in time for the back-to-school season. The “Magalogue” is free to any customer who wishes to browse and use it to make their shopping list.
   
Passages” was recently added to the list of communication tools for National Book Stores’ partners in education. "Passages” is a National Book Store quarterly magazine for reading educators. It’s an avenue to share information and connect with the proponents of the benefits of reading.
   
To further support National Book Store’s Purpose, the National Book Store Foundation Inc. was officially established in 2004. The foundation reaches out to people all over the country and spreads the message that through reading and learning, people can pursue their dreams and realize their life’s purpose.
   
Although not new in selling products online, National Book Store launched its new
e-commerce site on October 2006. The new site enables National Book Store to reach more customers on a global scale, bearing in mind Filipinos overseas who prefer to send their support for their relatives through National Book Store’s products of learning and creativity.
   
Best Buy Pals was created specifically for the choosy and trend-seeking teens. This new product line ensures that teens have new and exciting designs of school supplies and accessories to choose from.
   
The annual product calendar features books and school and office supplies available at the stores. Every year, new and exciting features are added to make the calendar a more useful and effective communication and marketing tool.
