- 01
Books as corporate gifts
Offer companies a selection of books as gifts for staff or customers. LinkedIn reaches exactly the people who decide on that.
Example A good book stays in people's minds longer than the next box of pens. We put together the right books as gifts for companies, nicely wrapped and with a card if you like.
- 02
Ordering specialist books for businesses
Explain that you order specialist books for companies, law firms or schools. Buying locally matters to many businesses.
Example Specialist literature doesn't have to come from a distribution warehouse. We order specialist books for businesses in the region and usually have them ready to collect quickly.
- 03
We are hiring
Introduce a job opening and describe everyday life in the bookshop honestly. People with a passion for books are often found through personal networks.
Example We're looking for someone who loves reading and loves giving advice even more. Unpacking boxes, talking to customers and running events are all part of everyday life here. Feel free to get in touch with us directly.
- 04
Apprenticeship in a bookshop
Show what people learn with you: the range, advising customers, ordering, events. Parents and schools read along on LinkedIn.
Example An apprenticeship in a bookshop is more than shelving books. You learn how to advise, order, calculate costs and organise events. We train apprentices and look forward to your application.
- 05
Partnership with schools
Report on readings or book tables you organise together with schools. It shows your role in the region.
Example Encouraging reading doesn't only happen in the classroom. Together with schools we organise book tables and readings, and we're happy to hear from more teachers and educators.
- 06
A venue for companies
Offer your shop after closing time for small company evenings or book launches. An unusual location appeals to companies.
Example After closing time, our bookshop becomes an event space. For small company evenings, book launches or team meetings between the shelves. Ask us about the options.
- 07
Local retail as a topic
Share a thought on why a bookshop matters for a town centre. Factual posts on running a business are often shared on LinkedIn.
Example A lively town centre needs places where people can browse and talk. We see our bookshop as one of those places and enjoy working with other businesses in the region.
- 08
Working with publishers
Talk about how you meet publishers' reps and choose your range. It gives an insight into the work behind the shelves.
Example Before a book goes on our shelves, we've usually seen it in the catalogue and discussed it with the publisher's rep. This selection is the heart of our work.
