It's Easy to Get Started with Our Sales Kits
Schools, organizations, or individuals may purchase a sales kit for $10 per kit. You may want to have one kit per child, or if going two by two, you may choose to have them share one kit for both of them.
You may also DIY your own sales kits and choose not to use certain parts of it. If you would like to buy just one or a few pieces of the kit, our prices and the links for you to purchase the materials are provided below. You can compare your options and decide what is better for your group.
REQUIRED: The promotional flyer asks for a $10 donation per book. This flyer is important to have as the QR code leads the buyer directly to the web page that will have your school/organization listed for permission to sell the book. Please use the ones that we have printed for you. We will mail them to you. Cost: $0.50/sheet
REQUIRED: Students may use this tally sheet, or you can use another tally sheet that is more suitable for your group. You will also want to provide your kids with an envelope or money bag for money collection, and possibly a clipboard. Cost: $0.50/sheet
OPTIONAL: The sales kit also includes a transparent bag with our contact information to carry the books. The bag can carry about 40 books and should be reused for the duration of your sales. You will want to cut a piece of sturdy cardboard for the bottom of the bag because the books are heavy. We can mail these to you, or you may use your own bags. Cost: $2.00/bag
REQUIRED: Please be sure that all books are covered in a cellophane package for selling. This keeps the books tidy and presentable for the customer. We can provide the cellophane packaging or you can buy them on Amazon. We are suggesting that you try to find a volunteer that can help you with this part of the project. Cost: $5.00/50 sleeves
OPTIONAL: The sales kit also comes with a whole book in plastic page protectors to use as a “show folder.” People usually like to look at and handle the book before purchasing, however, this can damage the book. The “show folder” eliminates this problem. We can provide the folders or you can buy them on Amazon. Cost: $2.00/folder
OPTIONAL: The “show folder” has every page of the book displayed from cover to cover. You can purchase this from us, or you can make your own. Save and reuse these folders for your next sale, or you can give them to your church members for door-to-door and other outreach. Cost: $2.00/13 page protectors
