Bookstores Can Still Compete By Combining Traditional Strengths With Smart Innovations
Authors Guild
When Scott Turow officer, said the brick and mortar stores are the future of book sales, it was hard not to laugh. Cushing and Tim joined forces to provide an advertising campaign for his Don Quixote, and, as expected, supporters of the joy of printed books and bricks and mortar bookstores in the comments appeared to sing his praises in a way non-satirical.But the thing is, if people like libraries and library
will
survive. But the market will inevitably evolve according to demand and there can be no doubt that demand is falling. I am among those who get a warm feeling of shopping in a bookstore full of signs and independent platforms that do not match, handwritten, and I think that's what most people aspire to when they talk about libraries, not the big box retailers, with table display pop-psychology books and supplements strange twilight. This last principle is fueled by the convenience, selection and price, and in areas that were completely obsolete by online retailers. But the former remain in the community, personality and charm of things you can do online, but a very different way than ever completely replace physical space, and are not really part of the arsenal of Amazonia. This does not change the fact that independent bookstores are struggling, and many have closed and many more, but the passionate defenses of the neighborhood library, appearing in all discussions on this subject show that there is still absolutely a market to be served, even if the size of this market is still uncertain.
also fear that if the stores offer a premium experience that keeps customers coming in the door, customers are just looking, then order the books online at a lower the price, the benefits of small shop without paying for them. I'm not sure how to justify what it is. People continue to leave a store with something in their hands, and if you build an exciting retail space with a sense of community where people interact with books and other, they will not think about their smartphones or higher prices of the Amazon. A library can also go further: Jim O done in the history of the Harvard University Library, where the new owner to set a folder on the printer demand / to see if he could take advantage of the
aa trend. People do not just go shopping and then physically also purchase digital store digitally and physically buy
can access the vast universe of digital content could also save the library. Perhaps the library, although limited in stock, could evolve in the digital world and become a destination where people had access to all digitized books ever published.
For real competition, it would also have to meet consumer expectations for instant gratification and delivery. Jeff needed a complete model of production, distribution and compliance. He probably surprised many people by building one in your own backyard.
Essentially, Jeff installed a printing press to close the gap with the Amazon inventory. The Espresso Book Machine is located in the center of the Library of Harvard University as a visiting high-tech to an earlier time. The digital press capable of printing nearly five million titles, including books from Google that are in the public domain, as well as print titles. We're talking about pocket beautiful, perfect bound books are indistinguishable by the major publishers. The Espresso Book Machine can also be used for publication usual, a growing source of income, and customers can order books in the store and online.
