In addition to receiving a wealth of financial information, ABA bookstore members that complete the 2006 ABACUS survey by July 31, 2006, will receive $50 off their next ABA dues renewal. Completing the survey via the secure, easy-to-use, self-calculating Web form only takes about an hour and help is only a phone call or e-mail away. All information provided by bookstores will remain confidential.
Each participating store receives a customized report with detailed analysis of the store's financial results; comparisons with other stores based on more than 20 different criteria; an executive summary of the study's key findings; key insights into the drivers of independent bookstore profitability; year-to-year trends data; and opportunities to participate in ancillary studies.
In addition, the overall results of the ABACUS survey provides valuable data on the performance of independent businesses as a whole that ABA has used to develop its educational programming for BookExpo America, the Winter Institute, the regional association trade shows, and ABA forums.
Booksellers with questions and those who would like help filling out the ABACUS survey should contact ABA's Director of Special Projects, David Walker, at [email protected] or (800) 637-0037, ext. 6612.
