Fund-Raising

Fund-Raising Made Easy

Gourmania believes in people helping people. Our cookbooks are an excellent way for your charitable group to earn fund-raising dollars.

Cookbooks are easy to sell - everybody needs to eat!
Cookbooks make great gifts! Holidays are an ideal time for sales.

Make big profits with little effort, year after year.

Or, do you want to write your own cookbook? Read my article How to Write and Publish a Cookbook to learn how it's done!

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! Tasting helps sell more books!

Fund-Raising Discount
Discounts vary, depending on number of books ordered. Contact us at 416-226-2466 for further information

Autographed Books
Customers love to have their books signed by the author! Norene will be delighted to provide autographed labels. If you would like a special message inscribed, please let her know and she’ll be glad to oblige.

The Book & the Cook
Norene Gilletz
is available for cooking demonstrations and/or speaking engagements along with the sale of her books. We’ll be glad to offer suggestions to help you plan your event!
E-mail Norene for further details and available dates.

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.

Questions?
Call us toll-free (9 am to 5 pm) Monday to Friday at 1-888-811-YUMM (9866) for fast answers to your fund-raising questions. We look forward to hearing from you!

If you prefer to e-mail us, please include your name, phone/fax number, name of group/organization and your position in the group. Please let us know the best way and time to contact you.
