March 14: Square Books in Oxford, MS
Morning Education
is a Soup to Nuts! mix: Square Books, with its four stores on five floors in three buildings on the historic Oxford square, strives to be a store for every reader. Besides operating 4 stores, Square Books, Off Square Books,
Square Books Jr, and Rare Square Books, all under one umbrella, to serve all reading needs, we endeavor to reinforce ties through a loyalty program and branded merchandise. Partnership and sponsorship with community organizations,
the Oxford Conference for the Book, Thacker Mountain Radio and others helps extend our reach. We will tour the 4 stores and see how they work together, displaying a connected identity while still promoting their own areas,
and talk about branding and store branded merchandise as a way to make readers feel a part of the Square Books family.
