Educators: Nina Barrett (Bookends & Beginnings), Cynthia Compton (MacArthur Books and 4 Kids Books & Toys) Learn how to leverage ABACUS, the annual benchmarking survey, to enhance your bookstore's financial health. This session will walk you line-by-line through a real ABACUS report, explaining how to interpret the results in order to make real improvements in your operations. If you haven’t reported to ABACUS before, this session will show you how your store could benefit by doing it. If you have reported and have ever felt mystified by what your results really mean and how to use them to optimize your operations, this session will help you learn to make data-driven decisions for long-term success.
