Press & Retail

For bookstores, tourist shops, castles, museums, hospitality businesses, hotels, attractions and all resellers with a regional connection.

For Retailers, Shops & Resellers

The Carl & Strups book series is more than a children’s book – it is a visually strong, emotional and high-quality product that works especially well in tourist, cultural and high-traffic retail environments.

Whether bookstore, souvenir shop, castle, museum, attraction, hotel, café, restaurant or farm shop:
The books connect history, region and experience – exactly the kind of product visitors and customers love to take home, gift or recommend.

What makes the series especially attractive for retail:

– instantly understandable concept: children, region and history
– strong visual presence on shelves, counters and displays
– premium hardcover format with clear gift appeal
– strong recognisability as a coherent series
– regional roots with broader appeal beyond the region
– attractive for children while also engaging adults

In addition, we offer:

– live mascot appearances with Carl & Strups for events, markets and promotions
– support for retail campaigns and on-site presentations
– accompanying materials such as maps, displays and QR experiences
– a long-term series with strong recognition and repeat potential

The goal is not simply to place a nice book on a shelf, but to offer a product that creates attention, sparks conversation and builds an emotional connection to the region.

For Press & Media
