Four Reasons Every Retailer Should Sell Books 1 Books on display pull people into the store and keep them there longer. A fun quirky book (for example Rock and Roll Cagematch or MAD About Politics) can keep an otherwise bored companion occupied while their friend shops. Each minute that someone remains in the store is another minute where the chance of them purchasing something increases. Books anchor people in the store! Books properly cross-merchandised around 2 the store provide a visual context for all the other products that the store is selling. A title, such as Annie Leibovitz at Work, is perfect to display among cameras and pictures, while Peterson’s Holiday Helper is the ideal companion to any display throughout the holiday season. Books help sell other products! Books keep on selling even after they are sold. 3 A cookbook or craft book, such as Decadent Desserts or Mason Dixon Knitting: Outside the Lines, will continue to inspire the consumer to try new recipes or techniques requiring them to return to the store to purchase more products. Books keep selling long after they are purchased! Random House books sell themselves. They 4 pay for their own real estate and are a great profit center for the retailer. Random House has the hottest authors and books in the world. From Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics to Ken Regan’s Knockout to Sarah Brown’s Cringe, we have a book for everyone and every store. NONE of the other lines that these stores carry can sell ALL the other products that the store car- ries as effectively as BOOKS! In every economic climate, every season, and every holiday a book provides information and inspiration. They are a gift that is luxurious, long-lasting, and invaluable. BOOKS SELL!
