WHY SELL BOOKS?

Customers shop specialty retailers for more than just gear. They are also seeking knowledge, expertise, and communities of cyclists, triathletes, and runners. Books offer shops an opportunity to help customers become smarter, fitter, and more passionate about their sports. In other words, books help make better customers. What other accessory can do that?

Books are also accessories that complement many core product purchases. Bicycle Retailer and Industry News produced a Sales Training Guide that offers guidelines to help shops sell more books. Please download the guide here.
