Why should a green-grass retailer carry this audiobook near the register?

Green-grass retailers looking for a strong impulse item near the register have good reason to carry *Once Upon a Golf Swing*, especially the audiobook edition, for a few clear reasons.

It solves a real problem for parents. A parent buying gear for their own game often has a young child waiting in the car, and this gives them something to hand over on the way home.

It is priced for an easy add-on sale. At $9.97, the audiobook fits naturally alongside a bigger purchase without feeling like an upsell.

The story holds up to repeat use. Ace, a golf ball lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines, and friends Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy, and Rangey give kids characters worth listening to more than once.

It connects directly to the shop’s own world. The setting, the swing, the ball in flight, all speak the same language as everything else on the shelves.

It scales across formats. A $29.97 hardcover and $14.97 softcover sit well on a shelf too, giving a shop more than one price point to offer.

It comes with a song, "Swing Away," a small extra that makes it easy to talk about at checkout. Written by F.C. Salas, illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, published by Swankeeper Publishing. </br>
