Bookstore Research
Hello everyone. I am trying to conduct some market research for a bookstore I am thinking of opening and could use your input. I believe customer input is very important because a business can't function without all of you. It hopefully shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes, maybe a bit more depending on how much you write for the write in answers. Thank you for your time filling this out, it means a lot.
