One of the most important strategic objectives of GEBO is the marketing of Books at the local, Arab and international levels through the Sale-points and GEBO bookshops throughout Egypt.
GEBO books are also available at local and Arab book fairs, as well as international book fairs in which GEBO participates.
* GEBO has created a sale-point for the recent books published both by GEBO and other Egyptian publishers at the Permanent Book Fair, attached to the GEBO building, Corniche el-Nil. Visitors to the Permanent Fair are given a discount on all books there sold throughout the year.
* GEBO has worked hard to create the biggest possible number of sale and distribution points. The General Marketing Department is trying at present to extend its services so as to cover all Arab and Islamic countries, as well as countries where Arab and Islamic communities live throughout the world.
* All Sectors of GEBO have acquired vitality, dynamicity and the ability to make a quick response since Mrs Suzan Mubarak, The Egyptian first lady, started to implement the Family Library project in 1994. This advanced cultural project has revealed the ability of the printing press to produce a great amount of major Arabic books, written or translated, side by side with its regular publications throughout the year.
