How do I get started with my own business?

You can run a Book Party in many different ways.

Facebook Party

A Facebook Party is an online event which you schedule for a particular time and day, invite your friends and family to join you online and then during the Party you can share your top products, give advice for book ideas for different ages, run giveaways and have some fun talking books with your fellow book lovers. You can run an event from your own Facebook page, or you can partner with a host so that they can share it with their network and reach a whole new audience. You earn 20% commission on all orders and if partnering with a host, they will also earn 10% in free books.

Home Party

Gather friends at your house or a host’s house to show the great books on offer through your shop. You can purchase a sample kit worth approximately £200 RRP, for just £50, plus any additional stock via your web shop. Attendees can purchase directly online via your unique Party link, or you can collate orders on an order form to place at a later date. You can also sell your stock directly and take any extra earned on the sale price. Books will be delivered to you or to the host to distribute. You earn 20% commission on all orders and your host earns 10% in free books.

School Party

By running a Book Party on a school’s behalf, you will earn 10% in free books for the school whilst continuing to earn 20% commission for yourself. A Scholastic Book Party gives schools the opportunity to offer books from over 60 different publishers at up to 70% discount on RRP to their staff, pupils and parents. As a Book Champion you take on all the legwork of administrating the book sales, promoting the books, arranging delivery and distributing the books – a huge bonus for teachers and school office staff. You could arrange to set up a stall at the school, or simply have the school distribute a unique online Party link via email newsletters for parents to order from.
