Abstract:

The new crown epidemic has brought a huge impact to the global publishing
industry, and the sales of physical bookstores have fallen sharply. In the post-pandemic era,
the government, publishing agencies, and bookstores have worked together to make up for
bookstore losses from three dimensions. Measures include government support, publishing
agency assistance, and bookstore self-help. In order to get out of the predicament, support
policies need to be implemented to promote the development of bookstores; online marketing
should be improved and new talents should be emphasized; niche people are the masses, and
oriented passenger flow should be cultivated. In the future, physical bookstores will change their
concepts and innovate their operations. This is reflected in the transformation and upgrading of the
O2O model, the rapid expansion of all-scene reading, the sinking of bookstores and the rise of
rural bookstores, and thus achieve high-quality development.
