For owners and managers looking to take their store book fairs to the next level, this session will discuss the logistics of setting up a separate company to produce in-school book fairs. When is the right time to branch out? What are the advantages to having a separate company? This session considers what’s involved, including extra staffing, warehousing additional books, insurance needs, and securing offsite POS systems.
