The American Booksellers Association is asking booksellers to share some of the creative things they have done to make their stores more successful and profitable.

Booksellers’ input, via a short, online survey [6], will help ABA formulate the Spring Forum season’s educational component, “The Top 10 Things You Must Do Now!” 

This session will be presented at 11 Spring Booksellers Forums [7], which are being held in conjunction with the regional booksellers associations, between Friday, March 15, and Wednesday, May 8, 2013.

The top 10 ideas will feature best practices covering a broad range of categories including marketing/promotion, finances, store operations, human resources, inventory, ambiance, customer service, and more. The deadline for survey responses is February 18.

Take the survey now. [6]

Questions about the survey should be addressed to ABA Education Manager Lisa Winn. [8]

Questions about the forum schedule should be addressed to your ABA Member Relationship Manager, Nathan Halter [9]in the GLIBA, MIBA, MPIBA, PNBA, and SIBA regions, or Kaitlin Pitcher [10] in the NAIBA, NCIBA, NEIBA, and SCIBA regions.
