Bookstore Management | Follett Partnership
As the nation’s largest campus bookstore operator,
we have the resources and expertise to help maximize revenues
and create a more productive shopping environment to your
customers. By transferring the responsibilities of management
to us, your resources and valuable time can be focused where
they are needed most–on the mission of your institution.
When partnering with Follett, you receive the following
benefits:
Guaranteed Annual Income
We guarantee an annual income based on your store’s
volume. This income is clear with no investments or risks
by the institution. Recovery of Inventory Investment
We will provide immediate recovery of your investment by
purchasing your store’s inventory. We will also
purchase all bookstore credit memos that can be transferred
to us. Bookstore Design
Our Store Planning team will analyze your bookstore space
and then design and re-fixture the store at our expense.
We utilize the latest store concepts and most modern
merchandising techniques. Final implementation is never
started until you say “yes!” Eliminate Hidden Costs
We will help eliminate many of the “hidden costs” associated
with operating a bookstore through the transfer of administrative
and financial concerns to us such as the management functions
of accounts payable, accounts receivable, general accounting,
personnel, etc. to support the bookstore. Bookstore Staff
We know that the current bookstore staff is important to
the store’s success. We will offer your employees
a very favorable benefit and incentive package plus the
opportunity for training and professional growth. Management Support
Follett’s management provides constant guidance through
field and home office support. Our team of experts provides
a close working relationship that assures a steady flow
of products and services. Communication
Keeping the lines of communication open with the campuses
we serve is important. Through on-campus Bookstore
Advisory Councils, faculty and students can provide
us with valuable
input as to how Follett can best meet your needs on
an ongoing basis. Technology
Being a leader in bookstore technologies, Follett continues
to enhance stores with state-of-the-art point-of-sale
and management systems to ensure prompt cashiering
and enhanced merchandise availability. Virtual Bookstores
Follett provides innovative bookstore services online
through www.efollett.com. We constantly improve our
site services
to include a vast array of course materials and campus
related merchandise. |
