Briefly describe this fundraising event:
Raise money for senior year activities by selling copies of "Surviving Senior Year: A Parent's Guide to Successfully Navigating Your Child's Last Year of High School" -- a one-of a kind resource that helps parents anticipate the many demands of this important transitional year. It's full of proven ideas to reduce the stress of "senior year overload," as well as tips for making the experience more rewarding for the entire family.
Organizing the event:
There are two options:
#1: Organization can purchase books at 40% discount off $13.95 retail price ($8.35 per copy), then re-sell at full price. Profit per copy = $5.60.
#2: Organization can take orders at full cover price plus cost of shipping ($13.95 plus $2.00 shipping = $15.95). We ship direct to your customers and rebate $3.00 per copy to your organization.
Capital possibilities:
Option #1: (Minimum order is 1 case of 94 books). Profit per case = $526.00.
Option #2: $3.00 per copy sold, no minimum.
Degree of difficulty:
Option #1: Requires book selling effort.
Option #2: Requires order taking and collection of funds.
Kit provided for this purpose.
Other suggestions or comments:
The ideal time to get this book into the hands of parents is at the end of the junior year. There are many suggestions on how to use the summer to prepare for a "fast start" in the Fall. Early September would be a good time to target parents of incoming seniors.
