Hello Bookwormers friends!
I am changing things up a bit and today and instead of putting up our Book Review and Book of the Week, I just wanted to have a bit of a chat with you! It won’t hurt at all I promise!
With an Australasian book giant gone into voluntary administration and the strong growth of e-books it’s a sobering reminder that we all need to support each other to keep our much loved boutique book stores in business. If these giants are falling then we independent sellers have a big job ahead of us. Here at Bookwormers we have experienced steady growth in our first three years of business and with the help of you we are able to continue to grow and expand our services, so we are constantly improving ourselves for you! Part of our approach is one of good quality and range of products, great service and being as eco-friendly as possible. For those of you who haven’t had the privilege of visiting our Warkworth store, you would have missed out on the fact that our store always smells great (we clean and repair every single used book that is in stock), that all the books are in easy-to-find locations, that there are signs to tell you If you like….this author then you may like…these authors, that we have customers that call in (in between taking their bags of books) just to sit on our counter stool and say hello! I know, how lucky are we to get to meet these wonderful people (you) every day and share our love of books. It is a little harder to reproduce this in the world of the internet but we are continuing to improve our website to try and achieve this, and while this seems to be working well for us, we also know that there is always room for improvement.
So that’s where you come in, we would love to hear from you with your ideas and comments about what would make your perfect bookstore (whether you came in to see us or ordered online) so we can continue to make visits to Bookwormers you’re perfect experience.
And should we take any of these ideas, and action them due to the comments and ideas that you have left then we’ll have one of our prize books on its way to you!
So what are you waiting for? Leave your comments and ideas here so you can help us to make Bookwormers even better for you!
We look forward to hearing from you,
You’re book-loving buddy Helen.
