| How your organization can raise funds from the sale of “Lessons to Live By: The Canine Commandments” |
| To participate in this program, please call us directly at 703-242-1220 (Virginia, EST). Since you must pay for the books in advance, we will require a credit card for the purchase. If you wish to send a check, simply enclose a note with how many books you wish to purchase and your contact information, and send it to: Varzara House Fulfillment c/o The Artful Gift Shop 145B Church Street, NW Vienna, VA 22180 Participants in the “Be the Light Program” can automatically be enrolled in the “Spread the Light Program” if they want! |
| “Be the Light Program”: Humane societies and other animal support organizations can purchase the book directly from the publisher at a discount. The organizations can then sell the book and keep all the difference between the list price and the cost, which is approximately $3 per book. For this program, books must be paid for in advance. The cost per book is $11.00, plus shipping, and the minimum order is 10 books. If you order 25 books, shipping is free. (We suggest that you order 25 books to take advantage of the free shipping, because the shipping cost per book for small orders can be as much as $2 per book). For example, if you order 50 books, your cost is $550. You would receive just under $650 by selling the books at $12.95 each, and you get to keep the difference of about $100. (Note that you are required to collect sales taxes, if any are required). PLUS: your organization will still receive the $5 per book donation!!! So the total amount you would raise by buying and selling 50 books is $350. But what if you would like to raise money for your organization, but cannot pay for a lot of books in advance? You still can – through our “Spread the Light Program!” |
