Since 1961, Bokklubben has shared the joy of reading. But over time, its position had weakened, associations had turned negative and the value proposition had become unclear. The result was declining membership, unengaged readers and a damaged reputation. Everything pointed towards the end.

The brand needed to be strengthened, perceptions reshaped and the product improved. A strategic turnaround, from the inside out has led to a more holistic customer, brand and product experience. The unnecessary has been stripped away, literature has been placed back at the centre, both visually and functionally, and the book club has reclaimed ownership of literature and reading as a product.

The transformation from a bookstore to a true book club, in both product and services, has defined a new path forward. The results are already visible through an improved reputation, stronger engagement and growing membership. A new chapter is underway.
