1. If you want to open a physical bookstore, you must first apply for a publication business license from the press and publication bureau or the competent cultural department where the bookstore is located, and then register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. In addition, the operators of some local bookstores must pass the "Professional Qualification Examination for Publication Distribution".

2. When purchasing books, the following principles should be strictly observed: newer products are preferred; Give priority to buying well-known writers or books; Priority procurement with good book publishing quality; Complete varieties are preferred for procurement; Low discount gives priority to purchase.

3. According to the characteristics of readers where the bookstore is located, determine the types of books operated. In short, your bookstore must have its own characteristics, not all books.

Bookstores usually have three purchasing channels: publishing houses, book wholesale markets and private book companies. These three channels have different requirements for bookstores. Publishing houses prefer Xinhua Bookstore, while private bookstores are cautious. Private bookstores must have a certain scale and popularity in order to get the support of Xinhua Bookstore.

The book wholesale market is a shortcut for small bookstores. It is more convenient to purchase goods, transfer goods and return goods, but it is more disadvantageous in discount.

Although the discount of private book enterprises is very favorable, there are few varieties to choose from, and the supply is unstable. The starting point of each book purchase is at least 100. It is best for bookstores to take a multi-pronged approach, establish close cooperative relations with these three channels, and purchase goods according to market conditions and their actual needs.

5. Run the bookstore from the perspective of the book buyer. Only by observing the bookstore with the eyes of the book buyer can we find all kinds of problems sensitively.

6. Bookstores must have their own online stores. In this way, bookstores can break through geographical restrictions and have more customers.

7. Create a good reading environment for readers, so that people who buy books can relax reading. For example, we can open a coffee shop and a bookstore together, so that people who buy books can read while drinking coffee.

8. Bookstores can hold salons and lectures regularly. Salon can focus on a topic, anyone interested in this topic can attend, and the lecture can focus on the content of a new book.
