Instead of getting a permanent brick-and-mortar store, I would just do temporary pop-ups and table at festivals and events. My city has a pop-up used book store that focuses on lesbian-centric zines/books/etc. The owner sells at cost, but I still rarely see anyone buying books--I admit that my main motivation is that it's one of the few lesbian-focused places in my city that doesn't serve alcohol. They do one-day pop shops at book festivals, rent tables at LGBT events, sometimes table at coffee shops and indie bookstores with the owner's permission, etc. The owners just set up cheap plastic shelves, put out their books, and spend an afternoon talking to people about books and politics. It's pretty much a weekend thing because the owners have to keep their day jobs, but I guess they really enjoy what they do, and maybe doing pop-ups is something you could consider before jumping into renting a storefront. legsarerequired fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Mar 23, 2017 |
