ShelfWish for Bookstores

Every title request is a sale waiting to happen.

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."

The problem every bookstore owner knows

A 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.

Now every request is captured

Add one script tag

Your web person adds it in 2 minutes. A "Request a title" button appears on your site.

Readers have a say

They request the titles they want on your shelves — and when you order them, they come back to buy.

You see the ranked list

12 people want that new novel? Order a dozen copies. 1 person wants an obscure academic text? Special order it for them.
