Professional Booksellers School: Registration opens for Inventory Management

This course is designed for those who are employed by or who own a retail bookstore (this includes a mobile or pop-up shop) that has been in existence for at least 1 year and has 25%+ new book inventory; the skills and strategies taught in the course are designed for the new book trade, not for used-only stores. The course will teach owners and/or store buyers to create buying strategies and routines that get the best discounts, maintain cash flow, work within budgets, and integrate with the store’s marketing and merchandising. The skills students learn will help them analyze and improve their buying process.

Classes begin at 6 pm ET / 5 pm CT / 3 pm PT

Registration opens Monday, November 18 @ 12 pm CT / 11 am MT
