Christian Book trade – Good News Centre, Newent: a photo update
I visited Good News Centre Newent again this weekend. It’s always a pleasure to go there. It was looking even more splendid than usual and was really busy – important in the run-up to Christmas. The shop continues to defy all the normal location rules of retailing, situated as it is in rural Gloucestershire.
They have an excellent card and gift range including a really good range of Indian crafts, with which I was not familiar. It was especially good to see lots of books being sold. Good to see the Bookseller Association’s marketing campaign kit in use – ‘Celebrate Bookshops in Your Community – Keep Books on the High Street’.
I couldn’t resist taking this shot of the CWR Cover to Cover Bible Study spinner! Those of you who know me well know how much I love spinners in shops – something about a poacher and a gamekeeper, I think!
Here’s my mobile phone photo update and my earlier GNC post;
I shall tear up my WO RPPM with all it’s guidance on spinners in-store immediately!!
My problem with spinners is that they only allow for one customer at a time. Fine when things are quiet, not so good when it’s busy … especially when customers want to spin in opposite directions…
Another great read and super photos.
