The way out for physical bookstores

Now the entity bookstore is less and less, in addition to the Xinhua bookstore is still booming business, many bookstores have closed down. Xinhua bookstore tutorials are very important, tutorials are generally less online to buy. Other bookstores are in transition, selling books may not have been the main way to profit, after all, the rent pressure is very high, buy books online at a very low price, even 99 ten books! Roadside stalls of the pirated version of this price is not easy to find! Often buy a hundred minus thirty, minus fifty, physical bookstores rarely have discounts!

Now the bookstore is also exploring, some bookstores began to sell literature to subsidize the bookstore, beautiful books, pens, handicrafts, etc., and the addition of coffee and other beverages, consumption to provide seats to read books, there are also bookstores to engage in the membership system, members of the seat to read books, there are also engaged in reading clubs, the same is to charge a membership fee, in addition to the provision of venues for the activities. In my opinion, the future of the physical bookstore will continue to reduce, the phone is too convenient, bookstore to read a few pages, online order! Sell cultural and creative products unless their own development and design, but this should not be the bookstore operator's strengths, the bookstore in the future more may be the function of the trial reading, some people buy books may be too good to put the book, but there are a lot of good books, it happens to run into very few! There are also out of face or commemorative significance to buy a book. As for the coffee drink, resulting in the bookstore to become more like a cafe to pass the time, there may be white-collar workers to deal with some of the work inside, a cup of coffee an afternoon, I do not know how much money the bookstore can earn!

The future of the physical bookstore may be another form of existence, is likely to parasitic and cinema, cafes, restaurants, rarely sell books on the spot, but as a place to try to read, waiting to look at the book, feel good to scan a QR code online order, if you think the special great directly to buy away (certainly some of the old, because it is open the plastic cover can be flipped at any time) can also be. The boss then transfer goods to can. This kind of bookstore owner does not have to buy goods, because the owner is not relying on the profit of selling books, people have their own business, the book is a decorative, or even can be understood as an advertisement, online sold offline with a commission. This can effectively solve the problem of rent and staff wages, selling books online, while retaining the atmosphere of the bookstore and the process of trial reading.
