Used for: Young booksellers organically creating authentic local BookTok content in stores, driving book discovery and sales without any centralized marketing spend.
Praised: Authenticity is what resonates; local scale rather than national; booksellers...
vs: Contrasted with the idea of a centralized marketing department — Daunt argues...
"BookTok has been absolutely fantastic for us. A lot of it is taking place in our stores and quite a lot of it by our booksellers as well. As long as we leave it to the kids with the blue hair, we'll be fine."
