CLIENT BACKGROUND

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]Our client, an independent bookstore based in the United Kingdom, is celebrated for its curated selection of books and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Despite their community presence and unique offerings, they faced challenges in competing with online book giants and diversifying their customer base.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top=”80″ class_name=”divider-hidden”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1722828495734{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #08213e !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ disable_custom_paddings_tablet=”true” disable_custom_paddings_mobile=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1616460083313{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;background-color: #08213e !important;}”][gem_divider margin_top=”100″ class_name=”divider-hidden”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1722828503138{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}”]

CLIENT CHALLENGE

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]The bookstore was contending with declining foot traffic and sales due to the increasing popularity of digital reading platforms and large online book retailers. They experienced a 12% decrease in annual sales, primarily due to limited online presence and evolving consumer reading habits. Additionally, a lack of innovative marketing strategies led to a 15% decline in overall profitability.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top=”35″][gem_divider margin_top=”35″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1722828559976{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-image: url(https://countertradec.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DIFFICULTY-SCALING-OPERATIONS-SUCCESS-STORIES-3.jpg?id=71212) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][gem_divider margin_top=”500″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1674740561214{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #08213e !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1580819380029{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][gem_fullwidth background_style=”cover” background_position_vertical=”center” background_parallax=”1″ background_parallax_mobile=”1″ background_image=”33150″ padding_top=”150″ padding_bottom=”120″ background_color=”#2c2e3d” background_parallax_overlay_color=”rgba(33,32,45,0.2)”][gem_divider margin_top=”28″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]
