Discovery House Publishers is offering its specials to Christian retailers in the Virtual Christmas Showcase, an online exhibition and training event hosted by Christian Retailing magazine and focused on the holiday season.

More than 20 suppliers--including Thomas Nelson International, Kregel Publications, Integrity Music and Warner Press--have so far signed on for the Virtual Christmas Showcase. In addition to highlighting products and specials, the online event also includes interviews, new release spotlights and other offers. The virtual show has drawn nearly 1,500 visitors from 46 countries since it began Sept. 30, with more than 5,000 page views.

Discovery House's specials include an additional 2% discount and free shipping on orders of at least 25 items as well as a free copy of any of the featured items on the virtual show. Discovery House's featured products include O Holy Night! by Wintley Phipps; Hark! A Celtic Christmas Celebration by David Huntsinger; Christmas: Go Tell It! by Solid Rock Orchestra; Classical Praise 10: Brass by Phillip Keveren; and The God of All Comfort by Amy Shreve (all Discovery House Music); The Wonder of Christmas Christmas card with music CD; baby gift packs; and Our Daily Bread Calendar and Planner.

Additionally, the virtual tour features include a Retailer Roundtable on Christmas in which representatives of four leading stores discuss the big issues of the holiday season--from price point and displays to keeping the real spirit of Christmas alive amid all the busyness.

Besides a list of new Christmas 2010 products, the virtual tour also includes a discussion with Crossway Executive Vice President for Sales and Marketing Geoff Dennis on the company's "Share the Good News of Christmas" program, a campaign to see a million copies of the special-edition Share the Good News of Christmas Outreach New Testament delivered to homes across the country via Christian retailers.
