ABACUS Reports on the Way

Bookstores that participated in the 2010 ABACUS Survey will receive a customized report analyzing their financial results by the end of next week. The reports, which include comparisons with other businesses based on multiple criteria (such as sales level, store size, and community type) in addition to year-to-year trending information, are being sent via e-mail over the course of this week and next.

For security purposes, stores will receive two e-mails from Martha Love of the National Association of College Stores’ (NACS) OnCampus Research, which produced the survey for ABA this year. One e-mail will include the report, and the other will have a password for accessing the results.

2010 ABACUS participants that do not receive e-mails from NACS OnCampus Research by March 1, and those with questions about the report or ABACUS overall, should contact Martha Love and ABA COO Len Vlahos.
