4. It's a used bookstore, general focus, no particular identity

They do sell some new books, too. Just a little of every kind of book pretty much. No other products.

Hubby has talked to the owner, I have not. I do not have a positive feel about the business from the few times I have been there as a customer. Could be the employee now running it, could be the owner's input, I don't know.

When I have been there, there were at most one or two other customers. They are not doing a lot of business.

Hubby wants me to pitch an idea for giving them more web presence and come up with my own figures. Since I have never done this kind of work (and I am not sure I want to) I have no basis to start from.

Frankly, it smells like disaster to approach it from this point of view.
