Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Publishing's specials for Christian retail stores are spotlighted 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 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 more than 3,300 visits from nearly 60 countries since it began Sept. 30, with 7,500-plus page views.

Valid through Dec. 31, YWAM's specials include a 50% discount and free shipping on orders of at least 25 items. YWAM's featured products include the 2010 Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner; Truth and Transformation by Vishal Mangalwadi; LifeWork by Darrow L. Miller; Fit to Serve by Coach Powers; Jacob DeShazer by Janet and Geoff Benge; Jim Elliot: A Light for God ("Heroes for Young Readers" series) by Renee Taft Meloche; and Forever Ruined for the Ordinary by Joy Dawson.

Besides a list of new Christmas 2010 products, the virtual tour 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 Christmas edition of the English Standard Version Outreach New Testament delivered to homes across the country via Christian retailers.

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.
