What is a 'Books Are Fun' Corporate Book Fair Event?
A Corporate Fair Event is so many things.
It’s a mobile bookstore
An employee appreciation event
A holiday celebration
A fund raiser
We do all the work, you get all the credit.
Our representative will show up at a predetermined time to unload their truck and set up your event. We provide the product, a cash register, music, tables and so much more.Once the Book Fair is set up and open for business, we will staff and run your entire event for you so you can continue your important daily activities.
We accept all forms of payment (cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover) and even Payroll Deduction (provided your acct dept is agreeable).For every sale at your event, you earn a cash rebate. You can designate your rebate to a local charity, a specific dept or pass it along to your employees with a discount at the register.
How much will your organization make from a Books Are Fun Corporate Fair Event?
Each independent rep offers a percentage of sales rebate and how much you make, depending on how great the Book Fair sales are.There are many ways to add to your sales, thereby increasing your profitability so the event can be very exciting!
RAFFLES: Sell tickets to a raffle that takes place at your event. You keep the money from the ticket sales and it increases traffic at your event, which should also increase sales.
PRE-DISPLAYS: Allow the representative to set up a sampling of product a few days before your big event. This gives your employees a chance to see a preview of what type of items will be for sale.
INCREASED MARKETING: We provide you with Posters, Table Tents, Flyers and Email Marketing. Anything else you do to promote your event is always helpful.
INVITE YOUR NEIGHBORS: Feel free to let other businesses around you know you are having a Book Fair. They’ll love you for including them and you’ll reap the benefits.
