KNV Zeitfracht's virtual event format successfully launched at the Frankfurt Book Fair

Stuttgart, October 14, 2020.

KNV Zeitfracht's virtual event format was successfully launched today. "KNV Zeitfracht trade fair talks. Live and digital" comprises more than 20 events in which business partners from the bar range and publishing delivery can participate free of charge from Wednesday, October 14 to Saturday, October 17, 2020. Around 100 booksellers and publishers took advantage of this innovative offer on the first day.

In the first live talk today at 10 a.m., booksellers and KNV Zeitfracht employees discussed what has helped bookstores to overcome the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic. They showed which strategies can be derived from this, for example for the upcoming Christmas business this year. The topics ranged from target group-oriented presentation and innovative "browse offers" for customers to more intensive communication of their own services. Tomorrow, Thursday, October 15, 2020, the live talk at 10 a.m. will focus on the KNV Zeitracht online store system. Eduard Vinokurov, Head of KNV Zeitfracht digital and expert for the online store system E-Commerce Solutions, will talk to three booksellers about their experiences and measures with the online store in times of lockdown.

Experts from KNV Zeitfracht will provide an overview of new offers and services in webinars on a wide range of topics. For example, in the webinar "New sales opportunities through electronic accessories" on Thursday and Friday, bookstores can find out how they can easily use this non-book range for additional sales. In the webinar "See the important things: Successful and targeted action with the new InfoCockpit" on Friday, KNV Zeitfracht will present a new dashboard that provides bookstores with relevant figures and information in a condensed form and at a glance.

In the webinar "Print on Demand as an opportunity for cost optimization" on Thursday, KNV Zeitfracht Purchasing Manager Ulrich Hoffmann would like to talk to publishers and discuss the opportunities and possibilities of Print on Demand at KNV Zeitfracht. He will present KNV Zeitfracht's service portfolio in the PoD area and address questions and concerns regarding PoD production. KNV Zeitfracht will also be presenting its Digital Content Solutions software to publishers on Thursday and Friday. In this webinar, publishers will learn how they can use this software to distribute and aggregate e-books and digital audio books.

In addition, many KNV Zeitfracht experts will be available online from Wednesday to Saturday for one-to-one discussions.
