ShelfWish for Bookstores
Customers walk into your bookstore looking for a specific title. ShelfWish gives them a way to tell you what they want — so they feel part of the curation and you never lose a sale to "I'll just order it on Amazon."
Get started freeA customer asks: "Do you have the new Hanya Yanagihara?" You don't. You write the title on a sticky note and press it to the register. Someone else asks about a poetry collection. Then a cookbook. By the end of the week, half the sticky notes have fallen off and the other half are illegible.
You're making ordering decisions based on sticky notes, memory, and gut instinct. Meanwhile, every unfulfilled request is a customer who goes home and orders from Amazon instead.
Your web person adds it in 2 minutes. A "Request a title" button appears on your site.
They request the titles they want on your shelves — and when you order them, they come back to buy.
12 people want that new novel? Order a dozen copies. 1 person wants an obscure academic text? Special order it for them.
