Does Your Group Qualify?
Norene’s cookbooks have been successfully sold by many charitable
organizations, schools, synagogues, hospitals and gift shops. Book Fairs are
also an excellent opportunity for sales. Contact us for further
information.
How it Works
Each group has its own potential client base - friends, family and business
associates who want to support charitable projects by purchasing cookbooks
from you instead of bookstores. Generate sales through your group’s
newsletter, website, by phone, special mailings or at group events.
Have
your members prepare their favorite recipes from Norene’s cookbooks as
refreshments for meetings, bake sales or community events. Be sure to have
cookbooks on hand so your customers can purchase their books right away!

Increase your Sales
To encourage repeat
sales, create a special Order Label and apply it to the inside front cover
of each book. The label can read something like this:
"Thanks for helping
support the projects of (name of group). For additional copies, please contact:
A. Cook
123 Baker St.
Anytown, Anywhere
Phone: (111) 222-3333.
Great for gifts!"
Profits
Profits are excellent -
groups have sold from 12 to 1,000 books, raising as much as $12,000! The
more books you sell, the more money you raise. The average profit is $9-$10 per book!
Should you collect
payment in advance?
If your customers prepay
for their order, it finalizes the sale, making it easy for your group to
order enough books and avoid disappointment or delay! For maximum profit, we
recommend that you charge the suggested retail price.
Shipping/Handling
Charges vary, depending
on destination and quantities ordered. Contact us
for a quote. On U.S. orders, we take care of customs clearance and brokerage
charges. Outside Canada, all prices are in U.S. funds.
