With shopping, it has always been the rule that buying in bulk saves you more and costs you less. A perfect example of this rule is the baker's dozen - buy 12 and get 1 free. Most groceries also cost less when you buy them at wholesale prices. Given this principle, why should buying bibles be any different?
In fact, there are many online stores nowadays that offer bulk buying for bibles. They offer a whole array of bibles with different covers to attract various readers. These covers help in encouraging first-time Bible readers to discover the Word of God. The bibles come in different designs so you can pick out the design that you think will best appeal to your audience.
They also come in paperback, hardcover and softcover so you can decide on the kind of backing to suit the kind of usage for your readers. For instance, hardcovers are best for bible study periods or Sunday schools because they will see the most wear and tear. Paperbacks and softcovers are suitable for personal use and work as great gifts too because they all come in different colors.
Bulk bibles are also available in different formats or versions. You may take your pick among NIV (New International), NIrV (New International Readers), TNIV (Today's New International), KJV (King James), NKJV (New King James), NLT (New Living Translation), NVI (Nueva Vesion Internacional) and NASB (New American Standard).
If you're looking for affordable but quality bibles, it's better to buy in bulk. The bibles come in cases of 10, 16 or 24 depending on the type. The reason why bulk bibles are less expensive, they are manufactured in bulk too and are sold directly to churches, ministries and individuals without any additional mark-up. As such, you're not supposed to re-sell them commercially.
