Listen "Tweak #105: Which Type of Bookshop is Yours?"
Episode Synopsis
What if the “industry standard” isn’t the only way? In our latest podcast, Lisa’s research reveals three broad themes shaping today’s bookshops, and how knowing yours can transform everything from layout and design to inventory strategy.
We’re challenging the idea that all bookshops must adhere to 3-4 inventory turns per year. Instead, we explore how your bookshop’s core focus — whether book-centric, community-centric, or advocacy-centric — can guide your decisions. Most shops blend all three, but leaning into your primary theme can sharpen your strategy.
Click play for actionable insights to tailor your bookshop to its unique purpose.
