Books are hot right now!
If you have been looking for a new product to add to your store to attract a customer who is spending more time at home, books are one of the hottest products right now and could be the product you are looking for.
Research has shown that after wars and recessions in the past reading books has boomed as a pastime. Researchers from the UK’s literacy charity, The Reading Agency, have reported that almost a third of people are reading more as a result of quarantine. 45% of 18 to 25 year olds reported reading more, and overall 31% of those who took part in the research said they had read more since the restrictions began in March.
Print sales in the US have also remained stable, and it is believed that the impact of Covid-19 will increase demand for reading material over the coming weeks.
Books can complement your current range of online products in your retail store and can be curated by you to be sold with the types of products you offer. For example, if you sell sportswear you could add books on nutrition, physical fitness and sports personalities.
