A distinctive of Oasis' strategy is its emphasis on self-sustaining indigenous distribution, retail, and wholesale development.

In our experience, Christian book distribution that relies on a subsidy or mission support is often short-lived. Oasis concentrates on developing relationships with commercially viable book outlets. This provides jobs, people development, and financial incentive for growth.

We understand the importance of supplying relevant, quality product at excellent prices. There are two major keys to success in these markets. The first is content; the book must have broad appeal in the developing world. The second is price. We have found that the optimum retail price for successful distribution of a book to the general population is 20-30% of the retail price in the United States.

We aid bookstores in finding and purchasing books that are affordable to the common person; we empower bookstores to serve their markets. We also equip bookstores in training their managers and staff. A better supply of affordable and relevant literature requires a more effective distribution system and this necessitates training.
