Led by The American Booksellers Association
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.
Led by NOLA booksellers
Share one thing that's working at your store and hear what's working at your colleagues' stores. The goal: walk away with a bunch of new ideas to try at your store!
