Optional Services and Software

A valuable aspect to using a computer to help manage you book store is the intelligent usage of the collected data.  Yes, we use our software every day in our store, and are constantly asking "What if?", and "How about?".

We have therefore developed program and routines to answer these questions.  Unfortunately, our questions are generally not the same as yours!  If you are/going to be successful in business, you no doubt offer service that the big boys don't.

I think we are successful because:

1. We trade books and make a market locally in the used book business.

    

   Making a market means that YOU are THE place to buy and more importantly bring books to trade.

    

   Making a market also implies that you are just a happy to accept customers' used books as you are to sell them your books.

2. We give high priority to special orders, and make it a point to handily beat ever other book store's prices for the orders.

3. We give ultimate priority to filling commercial orders.

• The local school boards do business with us because we generally fill their orders within 48 hours of placing them.

• We have learned how to efficiently accept and process Purchase Orders

4. We have streamlined our operation to take advantage of the huge Internet Book Business.

• Internet Sales
