This inspiration came from a local bookstore (you may recognize it).
As you can see, this display looks neat. You can see all of the book covers, which makes you want to pick up a copy (or five) for purchase.
We recently "found" some shelf space and our new nonfiction moved to fill it. Since moving it here and using the face out method, I am constantly filling holes. These books are now flying off the shelves. Plus, they are right at the beginning of the nonfiction section now (rather than the easy reader area which didn't make sense).
I completely agree about face outs! I really love how you've highlighted your books on the cases.
ReplyDeleteAnd something you might find interesting: I used to work at the district-level of marketing for a large retail book chain that has since closed. In general publishers would pay approximately $500 per endcap PER STORE. On average you could fit maybe six picture books on an endcap. So almost $100 per book per store. So yeah, face outs are very desirable and for good reason.
