Is the business of selling stationery no longer feasible?

[King Belieal]

Back in the days, the business of selling stationery used to boom and was very massive. People that sold books and stationery really prospered.

But it seems the relevance of the business is fizzling out as the days go by. Do you believe that this business would completely lose relevance in few years and no one should start it now? Or would you advice someone to go ahead and start such business as it is?

The people that have been running this line of businesses for years are now seeking how to leave the business because it is not working any longer. Why would another person want to enter the business? Even if it is still working in some locations, it would not sustainably be profitable.

In today's digital age, operating such type of business can be tough. The majority of individuals utilize digital cards, ebooks, and so on. Personally, I prefer digital cards and ebooks today.

I doubt this business would be out of the market completely, but like you said there have been a decrease in sales. I believe this due to the fact that most of the books and the likes can now be found online. These days most people don't even use books for writing, they would rather use their tablets and the likes for writing.

The business will continue to be very lucrative. Though electronic books have dorminated the academic sphere. But a lot of people still like to own physical book for reference purposes. I still prefer physical books than ebooks.

I do not think so. Schools and colleges are one of the fastest growing businesses and these businesses need stationery.

Well in my location here it is still feasible as people are still buying books but not as much as before

Selling stationery is not what someone can really bank on now. Many people are moving away from buying physical copies of documents.

Stationery and office supplies is still feasible as a business in Nigeria. We are not yet fully digitized.
