What’s costing your bookshop customers.

01

Online platforms sell cheaper

You offer what they can’t: a club, advice and community.

02

Back to school is one month a year

Bring them back the rest of the year.

03

Special orders go astray

An alert when their book arrives.

The programme we recommend for bookshops and stationers.

  • One stamp per book
  • 10 books and the 11th paperback is free
  • Points on stationery
  • Alerts about new releases from their authors

You can change everything: number of stamps, rewards, expiry, double stamps… This is just a setup to start with.

Rough estimate: customers × extra visits × average spend. Move the sliders to your own numbers.

Questions about bookshops and stationers

Can I discount books?

In many countries book prices are regulated. We recommend rewarding with products or a paperback rather than discounts on new books.

Special orders?

An automatic alert when the book arrives.

Stationery?

With points per euro.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. The card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which are already on their phone. If they like, they can also add your app to their home screen without going through any app store.
