Stationary business is like a forever business you can't take it away not when school is actively involved. We can't stopped learning so we keep on using stationary all the time

In times whereby the schools are in the holidays you can continue sell the office items and provision of the computer services on your incorporated cyber cafe as these two Businesses goes hand in hand.

In my school, we still buy paper books but it is slowly moving away to e books. That stationary business works very well in schools and office locations. They add it with helping students with their research work.
I also make use of e-books a lot but most of the time schools make it compulsory because it helps them to generate income. So if you want to go to a school you must be ready to buy paper books.

That's the Nigerian system for you. When in other countries, people are fully learning online. How would you need to buy paper books for an online school. Nigeria has yet to catch up with the rest of the world.

Stationery businesses are becoming less productive as a result of digital technology. Information are stored in electronic books than physical books. Files equally are stored on electronic gadgets like computers, iPad, mobile phones etc.

Stationary is required in schools, offices and by students so this is one business that is blooming all around the year so it's a good business and carry good profit on most of the stationary items.
It is a profitable business especially when you have your shop around a school

You are so on point with this. In the next five years, doing the stationary business would not boom at all because digital world is gradually replacing the analogue ox pens and paper.

Setting up of a stationery business depends on the location of the business. For instance in my locality whereby there is none existing I think it's an ideally place to set one and it can be very profitable for sure.

It's very profitable especially in my locality whereby there is no single shop that sells the books, pens and office items with their equipment. This business is my dream business too. It can do well mostly when you incorporate it with a cyber cafe.
If it's located in a place where people love to read and in an academic settings, it will sell better.

My observation is that most people in my community no longer patronise stationery. This is also a way of environmental protection because there will no longer be much tree to cut to be made into papers.

I think the stationery business much needed in the everyday life of the school going people and the office workers. However the business tends to work better in places near the schools.

Not only you. As a result of digital technology, most people prefer digital books to physical books. That is why people are no longer investing in book selling business. Most bookshops in my areas are not flourishing as they were in the olden days.

in some parts of the world some people prefer to buy their books online. With platforms like Amazon people can buy paperbacks easily through the online space.

It is as a result of corruption that is why most schools don't subscribe to the idea of ebooks. You know how much lecturers are making from the sales of their handouts?. Similarly, as a result of cravity to make money, Nigerian youths are declining in reading culture.

It is true that lecturers just lift some things from the internet, print one copy of it and mass photocopy the rest and sell as handouts to students. It is a pathetic situation.
