In the stacks, at the counter, on the phone with a customer, or at an offsite two towns over… your store is wherever you are, and so is Omnibus for Booksellers. This session will be a working look at the mobile-first bookstore operating system from Edelweiss and what it changes about day-to-day operations. We'll cover what building a buy looks like from start to finish in Omnibus, complete with vendor optimization you control. Plus, we'll talk through what electronic ordering with participating vendors changes about turnaround and receiving and explore how Edelweiss-powered inventory and sales analytics can support buying decisions.
I opened (or bought) a bookstore, now what? Business sustainability for new bookstore owners: Join Nicole Magistro, longtime store owner and start-up specialist with The Bookstore Training Group, for a two-hour seminar designed for those who have launched their bookstores in the last two years. This session acknowledges the difficulties and joys of the job, and it will provide practical strategies for building a thriving, sustainable business. We’ll cover the current state of new bookstores, recognizing red flags in operations, and prioritizing essential steps for success. Learn new approaches to technology integration, effective inventory management, staff development, and financial decision-making. Leave with actionable insights and the confidence to navigate the complexities of bookstore ownership, ensuring you and your business thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
The struggle is real! Every day in bookselling can bring challenges, from difficult customers interactions, to slow order fullfilment, to empty author events. Your colleagues are here to help! Come with your bookselling woes to receive comfort and advice, and share what you've learned to help others. Then join your new bookselling besties and head to the Mix & Mingle at Station 26.
Meet us at the refurbished firehouse micro-brewery, Station 26, for a beer (or soda) with your fellow attendees. The first drink is on us, with thanks to our sponsor Shelf Awareness.

Presentation: Budgeting for Bookstores  |  Big Thompson

Budgeting for your bookstore doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating! A budget with a sales forecast is a critical map for business, and knowing your numbers keeps you on track. This session – designed for both new and established stores – will explore how a well-structured budget for your bookstore can help you meet your business goals and ensure a sustainable business. We’ll explore the fundamentals of a bookstore budget and how ABACUS can help you plan and build targets. You’ll leave ready to use ABA’s Budgeting & Monitoring Workbook in your store! Presented by Chelsea Stringfield, ABA Education Assistant.

Interactive Session: Booksellers Are the Bookstore  |  Platte River

Booksellers do it all -- handselling, building creative displays, writing shelf-talkers, providing great service, and so much more! From selling books you haven't read, to helping customers find the specific book they're looking for, the art and skill of bookselling can be learned and shared. Let's explore some best practices for making the most of your time on the sales floor. Come prepared for some fun games and activities with your bookseller colleagues.

Group Discussion: Manga Mania  |  Clear Creek

Manga is here to stay, and can be a profitable addition to your inventory. Join this moderated idea-sharing session to discuss the ins and outs of starting and curating your manga section from kawaii to yokai.

Presentation: Beyond the Buzz: Calculating and Maximizing the ROI of Your Bookstore Events  |  Big Thompson

Events, everybody's doing them. But which events make money and which are a drain on your resources? This session delivers a tool to analyze the return on investment (ROI) of your event program. You'll learn how to consider attendance, ticketing, payroll, space costs and marketing in an effort to maximize profitability and achieve sustainability, no matter the size of your bookstore. Presented by Nicole Magistro, former owner of The Bookworm of Edwards for nearly two decades, who currently serves as an active advisor with The Bookstore Training Group of Paz & Associates.

Presentation: Sound Investment: Maximizing the Libro.fm Revenue Stream  |  Platte River

Independent bookstores operate on famously thin margins, where rising operational costs and fixed retail realities require creative, diversified revenue streams to survive and thrive. Join Lee Hooyboer, senior manager of bookseller partnerships at Libro.fm, for an actionable, toolkit-focused session dedicated to transforming your Libro.fm sales into a sustainable, low-effort, high-efficiency revenue stream for your store. We'll explore field-tested strategies from stores that have successfully increased their Libro.fm revenue through creative in-store presence, author event tie-ins, and strategic promotional campaigns. Then we'll pull back the curtain on what's coming next, including ebooks and new features designed to enhance customer engagement both in-store and online. Whether you want to streamline your staff's handselling workflow or expand your digital offerings, this session provides the concrete tools and inspiration you need to boost your bottom line.

Panel: Get in Horrors, Let's Go Shopping  |  Clear Creek

Folk horror, comedic horror, romance horror, body horror, (OCD horror anyone?), and so many more! The horror genre is exploding, and can truly be a fit for almost every bookstore. Join us for a lively panel discussion with some bookseller horror aficianados, as they present tips for buying and selling this new and increasingly diverse genre.

The sales of Young Adult titles aren’t what they once were, but we know there are so many stories left to be told in YA -- and those stories need creative solutions to find their forever hearts. Join us for an educational panel featuring three fresh new faces and voices in the YA world, in conversation with David Levithan, SVP of Editorial at Scholastic, Inc., followed by an interactive Q&A about where we are with selling YA, where we need to be, and how we can get there together. Presented by Scholastic.

Meet our Panelists:

Kendall Annette, Tylor Whitlock Just Won't Die
Kendall Annette is a Black writer born and raised in the state of North Carolina, where she lives with her husband and their Goldador, Loki, who gladly lives up to his name. As an only child, she began writing stories that made her feel less alone and has never put down a pen since. Now, as an adult, she writes in hopes of doing the same for others, and she believes the marginalized community needs to see stories championing people like herself as main characters. When she’s not writing, you can find her making social media content, drinking lavender lattes, or watching her favorite scary movie.

Claire Forrest, I Gave You My Heart
Claire Forrest is a novelist and essayist who holds an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University. Where You See Yourself is based on her lived experience as a wheelchair user who has cerebral palsy. As an undergraduate at Grinnell College, she was a consultant for the Disability Services and Admissions offices, working directly to address the concerns of incoming college students with disabilities and their families. She now lives in Minneapolis, where when she's not writing, she spends her time swimming and planning where to travel next. Find out more about her on Instagram and Twitter at @claire4est.

Ryan La Sala, Bodies of Water
Ryan La Sala is a bestselling and award-winning author known for his genre-defying, queer-centered horror and fantasy, including The Dead of Summer, The Honeys, and Beholder. His work has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, and more. He writes to you from New York, overseen by his cat, Haunted Little Girl. He can hold his breath for one minute and three seconds. You can ping him on his shell phone at ryanlasala.com.

Presentation: Dynamic Inventory Management: Budgeting for Frontlist Buying and Beyond  |  Big Thompson

Inventory management is the biggest lever to financial success, and yet buying and returning without a budget is a common misstep for indie bookstores. This session will teach you how to develop a dynamic inventory management budget, broken down by frontlist, restock, event, non-book and return categories. To maximize learning, bring your store's monthly and annual sales by category to this session. Presented by Nicole Magistro, former owner of The Bookworm of Edwards for nearly two decades, who currently serves as an active advisor with The Bookstore Training Group of Paz & Associates.

Panel: Keep Em on the Hook: Membership and Subcription Programs  |  Platte River

You've reeled in some great customers with your amazing title selection, in-store events, and more. Now, how can you keep them coming back? Bookstore membership programs and subscription services are popular options for developing long-term relationships with your best shoppers. Come hear a panel of booksellers talk about their successful programs--how they got started, what has worked well, and the pitfalls to avoid when creating new programs.

Panel: Celebrate Self-published: Working with your local authors for mutual fun and profit  |  Clear Creek

The self-published authors in your area are also your customers, friends, and part of your community. Working with them can be profitable and rewarding, and can also present some challenges. Our panel will talk about the unique systems they've created to bring self-published titles to their shelves, and host events with these local authors. Join us to hear why working with these authors matters, some interesting ideas, and best practices, and leave with some action items to get started in your store.
Stay to the very end and make the most of your time at FallCon! Every bookseller attending the Scholastic YA Education lunch today will receive one raffle ticket for our Last Bookseller Standing Drawing. We'll draw the winner at the end of the last education session at 3:30 pm, and one lucky bookseller will receive all of the books from the Holiday Gift Guide Catalog display; you must be present to win!
