New releases, staff picks and events,
on your shop screens
Your window shows this week's book and the latest prize-winners — not a hand-written sign taped to the glass. Inside, staff picks by section and the week's events: author signing, book club, launch night. You change the featured book and upcoming events from your phone. No printing, no laminating.

What you show on screen
from day one
Ready-made templates for the corner independent and the multi-section specialist shop. Zero design work, zero learning curve.
Window: new releases & prize-winners
Your window screen shows this week's new arrivals and the titles that just won the Booker, Pulitzer or Nobel — drawing in passers-by who'd never have stopped otherwise. You update the featured book from your phone in seconds. No printing, no laminator, no vinyl to peel off next week.
Staff picks by section
Fiction, non-fiction, kids, comics, languages — each section has its own staff pick screen. Customers discover the book your team loves right now, dwell longer in each aisle, and leave with more than they planned. Your recommendations reach every browser, not just the ones who ask at the till.
Events: author signings, book clubs, workshops & launches
This week's author signing, the Wednesday book club, the monthly reading group, the launch night — all on screen, updated from your phone the moment the calendar changes. Customers who missed the poster in the window see the event reminder at the till and come back.
Subscription, seasonal offers & special orders
Book-of-the-month subscription sign-ups, World Book Day promotions, back-to-school picks, special order reminders and loyalty. Your best commercial messages run on screen so you don't have to repeat them at every transaction — the screen does the prompting for you.

Where the screen goes
in the bookshop
An independent bookshop sells with the bookseller's judgement and its community, not with the algorithm. Each screen works one of the two.
New-releases window
The book of the week, the prize winners (Booker, Nobel, Women's Prize) and the new releases. The window captures the reader passing and signals that there is judgement and freshness here, not a warehouse of bestsellers.
Staff picks
Your booksellers' recommendations by section — children's, fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels. It is the soul of an independent bookshop: the human advice an algorithm does not give, now on screen and not just on a hand-written card.
Events agenda
Saturday's author signing, the month's book club, the launches. Events are a bookshop's community; advertising them on screen fills them and turns the shop into a meeting place, not just a place to buy.
Subscription and dates
The book-of-the-month subscription, the World Book Day offers and loyalty. The book dates are the year's peak, and the subscription is the recurring income that gives a bookshop stability.
The bookseller's judgement,
not the website's algorithm
An independent bookshop competes with Amazon on what Amazon does not have: human judgement and community. The screen amplifies both.
The bookseller's recommendation is your edge over the algorithm. Against a website suggesting what others bought, a bookshop has the advice of someone who has read the book. Putting the staff picks by section on screen — not just on a card — amplifies that human judgement, which is exactly why a reader chooses your shop over the online basket.
Events turn the shop into a community. An author signing, a book club, a launch: they are what make a bookshop a meeting place and not just somewhere books are bought. Advertising them on screen fills them and builds the community of loyal readers who come back, which is the asset no online platform can replicate.
The book dates and the subscription give the peak and the stability. World Book Day and Christmas concentrate sales you have to make the most of by switching the campaign on at the moment, and the book-of-the-month subscription is the recurring income that gives stability between peaks. The screen captures the key date and keeps visible the subscription that turns the one-off buyer into a member.
To be straight with you: we do not integrate with your catalogue or POS. The screen shows the new releases, the recommendations and the events you upload, and you update it from your phone; the sale and stock stay in your system. Digisini is the screen layer that amplifies your judgement and your community.
A special order that nobody comes back for
is not a small annoyance — it is capital tied up in something only one person wanted
Ordering a title for a customer is the service that keeps a small shop relevant. It also carries a failure mode nobody plans for: a proportion never gets collected. The book arrives, sits behind the counter, and after a few weeks it becomes stock you chose for someone who is not coming — which is the hardest kind to sell on.
Three things that reduce it, none of which involve chasing people:
- Tell them the date at the moment of ordering. Not "a few days". A named day gives them something to remember and gives you something to refer to.
- Say when it arrived, once, in the way they prefer. One message on the day. Most non-collections are not refusals, they are people who forgot and then felt awkward about it.
- And agree what happens if it sits. A stated holding period, said pleasantly at the counter, turns an open-ended obligation into a normal arrangement.
The part worth measuring is smaller than it sounds and tells you a lot: how many days pass between arrival and collection, on average. If that number is four, the process works. If it is fifteen, you are not running a special-order service — you are running a small warehouse for other people's intentions.
There is also an upside hiding in the same pile, and it is the reason not to treat it as pure loss: an uncollected order is a signal about demand. Somebody in your area wanted that title enough to ask for it. If the same subject comes up twice, that is a shelf recommendation with evidence behind it, which is more than most buying decisions have.
Count what is sitting behind your counter right now and how long each item has been there. If anything is over a month old, that is the real cost of not having stated a collection window.
