Ask for Referrals

** Search local newspapers, bulletin boards, school & church signs, etc. for events. Call the Chamber of Commerce for all nearby towns asking about events.

** IF you're an EC, call the schools nearby that are not already being serviced and ask if they have an event this year where families are invited. (could be a Spring Fling, Choir Concert, Art Show, Science Fair, Pizza Supper, Silent Auction, Carnival, Culture Celebration, Parent/Teacher Conference Day, etc.) Ask for the person organizing it & their phone number so you can offer your services. Call them and let them know you work with a great children's educational book company and that you would be glad to set up a book booth at their event. Usually there is a small booth fee, or they request a donation to their auction or school (a book perhaps), or they may just be glad to have the community involvement.

** Call doctors, specialists, pediatricians, & dentists offices offering to do an employee lounge bookfair earning free books for their waiting rooms.

** Call companies, banks, accounting offices, and organizations offering to set up in their lobby to earn books for a charity of their choice - or one you know of that needs books. Make sure you get the charity's approval. They'll be thrilled!

** Offer to set up for area churches and other religious centers as a bookfair, earning free books for their children's rooms, for their Preschool program, for mission needs, &/or Children's Bibles for their pews. There are lots of churches ready for your offer.

Be creative; think outside the box. There are so many places to find families that want & need our books and our home business opportunity.

GO FOR IT!
