The business of owning a bookstore is a timeless one; it centers on the continual building and expansion of a diverse library of books, as well as the marketing and sale of these books to a vast audience of consumers. In today’s world, it also often entails the management and sale of other products to keep customers coming back for more, such as in-house coffee or novelty goods. Likewise, this business also includes extensive research to keep up with both consumer demand as well as up-and-coming texts and authors to help your business stay ahead of market trends. Lastly, operating a bookstore encompasses the recruiting and management of staff with the right attitude to serve your customers effectively.
In spite of the rapid growth of the eBook trade, independent bookstores in the U.S. are experiencing tremendous success; there are currently over 1,835 independent book selling businesses throughout the country, with some operating in multiple locations. This success can be attributed in part to the closure of some large bookstore chains, such as Borders, during the initial rise of Amazon; without competition from these industry giants, the floor has been opened to accommodate more independent sellers. In the face of the Amazon boom, many consumers chose to support local bookstores as a way of staying connected to traditional reading.
One of the most important aspects to keep in mind before you buy a bookstore is location. Some areas read more than others, or have varying levels of demand for different genres of text; thus, it is crucial to analyze potential locations and assess your target demographic to ensure that you have the right type of product for sale. One of the most helpful actions you can take is to join a community of fellow booksellers, such as the American Booksellers Association—doing so can connect you to other business owners and resources to start your company and stay ahead of trends and consumer demands.
