ABACUS is a yearly members-only survey that gathers key information on financial operations and provides benchmarking goals and insight. If you have never participated in the ABACUS survey, you are missing out on a unique opportunity to improve your store’s finances. This session, led by booksellers whose stores have profited from ABACUS participation, will take the mystery out of gathering the information you need to submit your data, explain how to read your ABACUS report, and present actionable steps you can take to improve your business finances.
