How Bookspeed can support your Christmas sales
We all know how important this time of year is to retailers, and how demanding it can be. At Bookspeed we're here to take some of the pressure off. From getting the right stock to you quickly to sharing our insights on bestsellers, here’s how we can support you this Christmas:
1. Direct you to festive bestsellers
When you’re juggling multiple product lines, how can you be sure you’re not missing a hidden gem? Our team curates our festive collections based on what we know will sell in a wide range of retail settings, including museum and gallery shops, heritage sites, garden centres, independent boutiques, online gift ecommerce, and high-street lifestyle chains. Our selections are data-driven and informed by our product expertise. We also have an eye for a beautiful cover because we understand the role books can play in curating inspiring visual experiences for your customers.
2. Consolidate your book supply from 100s of publisher brands
Up to 200,000 books are published every year in the UK by more than 1,000 publishers. So assembling a bespoke book range to complement your festive product selection and themes can often involve handling multiple suppliers, which can make life extra complicated at a busy time of year. Sourcing books through Bookspeed means access to thousands of books from hundreds of publishers through a single supplier. Keeping things simple buys you more time when you need it most.
3. Keep your shelves stocked with prompt deliveries
When you have limited storage space, being able to order little and often is key to keeping shelves full and customers happy. With our famously fast delivery times (the clue’s in the name!), you can restock quickly and avoid missing out on sales. Our newly expanded warehouse helps us keep high-demand titles in stock, so we can respond to your orders at speed, even in peak season.
4. Support you to succeed
Your success is our success, so every Bookspeed customer is appointed an account manager who is invested in them. This means when things get hectic during the Christmas rush, you’ll have a partner who will be on hand to offer advice and support to help you to maximise your festive sales.
5. Reassure you that we’re an eco-conscious partner
Committing to eco-friendly principles during the hustle and bustle of the festive season can be a challenge. At Bookspeed we’ve built in practices to make sure our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and waste doesn’t falter. We reuse cardboard and recyclable plastic for our packaging, work with a carbon-neutral courier for deliveries, and have taken measures to reduce our energy consumption in our warehouse.
