New used book for independent bookstores
For its part, momox, distributor of used books in Europe, formalizes a strategic partnership with Zeercle.
This company specializes in B2B solutions for bookstores, aiming to strengthen its presence and services in the European market.
Thanks to this alliance, Zeercle now entrusts momox with the exclusive distribution of book volumes collected from individuals.
What proposal for bookstores?
Zeercle, after a successful deployment in Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom, is extending its services to France with Reelire.
It is a used book buyback solution intended for independent bookstores. This initiative allows booksellers to offer their customers a book buyback service in exchange for vouchers. The goal is to build customer loyalty to their bookstore.
-Zeercle aims to equip 10% of French independent bookstores by summer 2025.
This partnership with momox is part of an ambitious growth strategy. It allows Zeercle to benefit from momox’s logistics and distribution expertise.
The collected books are processed in the platform's logistics centers. Then, they will be resold on their platforms.
This collaboration also opens up prospects for momox to re-enter the UK market, enriching their offering with more recent titles and expanded linguistic diversity.
The leaders of both companies welcome this alliance. They see it as an exceptional opportunity to accelerate their expansion in Europe and create real added value for consumers and booksellers.
