    2022 Fall Regionals: Decoding the P&L for Booksellers, Managers, and Owners

    After traveling the country presenting education at the 2022 Fall Regional Association Tradeshows, ABA presented a virtual encore of Decoding the P&L for Booksellers, Managers, and Owners. A bookstore’s profit and loss statement (P&L) is a critical tool for evaluating a store’s overall performance. Join ABA staff on a walk-through of a bookstore P&L statement as we lay a groundwork for understanding bookstore financials, decode individual line items to identify opportunities for improved profitability, discuss how to use ABA’s ABACUS Report, and consider ways to share financials with staff in a meaningful and cooperative manner. Session Video & Resources Decoding the P&L was presented at the 2022 Fall Regional Association Tradeshows.

    Prioritizing Cash Flow: 10 Areas to Review for Improved Cash Flow and Profitability

    After traveling the country presenting education at the 2024 Fall Regional Association Tradeshows, ABA's Lee Hooyboer presents a virtual encore of Prioritizing Cash Flow: 10 Areas to Review for Improved Cash Flow and Profitability. The true key to being in control of your business is to be in control of your cash. A bookstore’s financial stability is dependent on far more than just profitability, and cash flow determines your store’s ability to cover day-to-day expenses, such as purchasing inventory, paying suppliers, and meeting operational costs. In this session, ABA will discuss cash flow tools briefly then guide stores through ten essential steps to improve your store’s cash flow, financial stability, and long-term resilience. Session Video & Resources Prioritizing Cash Flow was presented at the 2024 Fall Regional Association Tradeshows. This webinar was recorded October 24, 2024.

    Free Expression Friday: How Queer Bookstores Enable LGBTQ+ Book Access with Kay Kerimian (The Nonbinarian)

    Free Expression Friday is an interview series from ABA's American Booksellers for Free Expression celebrating the amazing work of booksellers, organizers, and book people in general fighting for the right to read. Kay Kerimian can usually be found in a park in Brooklyn, standing next to a bright pink cargo bike that has been turned into a book display, shouting: "Free books! They're gay!" Founded just over two years ago, the Nonbinarian Book Bike is dedicated to promoting LGBTQ+ book access by giving away free books. But soon, it will also have a brick-and-mortar storefront. Philomena Polefrone from ABFE took the opportunity to talk to Kay about how an LGBTQ+ storefront will pursue the same mission by selling books (as well as giving them away through the Book Bike).
