“We decided to incorporate QuickStudy® products into the textbook area about 10 years ago and the program was an instant success. Every year it has grown and we continue to add more disciplines.

“Our trade book department has continued to shrink due to declining sales and a lack of store space. We have stocked BarCharts for years and they continue to be our strongest line in the trade book category. For stores not adding these as recommended to their website or using Shelf Talkers during rush times, you are missing sales.” —T. Glaab, Associate Manager

A + B + C + D = Boost in Sales!

Put the guides where students can see them most—right underneath the textbooks.
B. Online
If students are ordering textbooks online, list QuickStudy® as optional or bookstore recommended underneath the textbooks and watch your sales soar! Click here for online listing instructions.

Added exposures = added sales. Stores putting an extra 32-slot display at checkout have seen fantastic sales!
D. NO Empty Pockets
