2009 Update from Thayer Birding Software:

We had our best year ever in 2008, in spite of the poor economic climate.
But one thing we heard from retailers and distributors was that it was very difficult for them to stock over 70 of our titles! So we have made some significant changes in 2009.

Thayer Birding Software now offers seven birding titles. We have discontinued most of the  71 titles we offered last year. Each individual state and province CD was replaced by a single CD called “Birds of My State”. This makes it MUCH easier for distributors and retail stores to offer all of our products. We now offer both Windows and Macintosh versions of our birding programs.

 

We offer a 40% discount for 12 units, 50% discount for 36 units and a 55% discount to established Wholesale accounts ordering more than 144 units per year.

Call 800-865-2473 or 239-596-1637 to order. Drop shipping is available. Call for details.

 

The country of origin for all titles is USA.

(Please note, we no longer are offering the Birder’s Diary listing program. Birder’s Diary was sold to the programmer, Jeff Jones, in 2004. Contact him at www.BirdersDiary.com)
