The web for bookshops: what really matters
Readers choose a bookshop for its selection, its advice and its atmosphere. They look for the availability of a title, the events, the booksellers' favourites. Against the e-commerce giants, the independent bookshop plays the card of curation, closeness and real encounters.
A bookshop website should extend the experience of the shop: selections and staff picks, a diary of events and signings, possibly a title search or ordering, and a carefully crafted editorial world. It gives weight to the human advice that sets the independent apart. An active Google listing and lively content build loyalty among customers attached to their local bookshop.
