There are plenty of ways to delight the bookstore customer, but few are easily monetized. It is agreed that bookstores need to become cultural destinations where people are prepared to pay good money to hear a concert, see a film or attend a talk.
But forcing people to pay for the privilege of potential good services could deter (震慑) shoppers altogether. A more attractive idea might be a membership scheme like those offered by museums and other cultural venues (场地). A club membership could provide priority access to events like talks and literary workshops, and to a private lounge where members can eat, drink and meet authors before events. Different memberships could tailor to the needs of children and students.
Anyway, to survive and thrive, bookstores will have to work hard. They have an uphill battle in front of them, with the steepness of the slope or the size of the obstacles uncertain. Definitely, service will need to be knowledgeable and personalized, spaces well-designed and cultural events tempting. But still, the fate of bookstores, especially small independents, is a cliffhanger (悬而未决的局势).
