Keeping a library video game collection fresh and up to date for your patrons can be a massive logistical challenge. Between tracking release calendars, picking the right console versions, and balancing your budget, it takes up a lot of valuable time.
At One Up Games, we want to take that burden entirely off your shoulders. We are launching a new, hassle-free program called One Up GamePlan to help you automate your collection development.
The concept is simple: You give us your yearly video game budget. We manage the release calendar, source the highest-demand titles, and deliver shelf-ready games directly to your library all year long.
We recently piloted this model with the Westwood Public Library with fantastic success. Their staff optimized 100% of their allocation while completely eliminating the time they used to spend on market research and procurement.
