FAQs


Selling Christian Books as a fundraising activity is a relatively new concept so we are sure your going to have some questions.  Although we answer most here please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have others or would like to talk through the process.

Why fundraise with Christian Books?

Fundraising by selling Christian Books has multiple benefits compared to cookie dough, popcorn, candy bar or event fundraising.  First, books have an intrinsic value associated with them; people feel that books are worth something.  Typically people feel that other traditional fundraisers are more in line with donations where the product isn’t worth the purchase price.  Second, by selling books we are promoting reading, not eating junk food! Finally, by selling Christian specific books you are helping spread the word of God.  

What books will we receive?

Although we cannot guarantee any specific books will be included we find that the books that are chosen for you are a great assortment.  They will most likely include: bibles, devotionals, christian living, womens, mens, teen, youth, tween, christian marriage, christian marriage, christian parenting, prophecy, christian  business/leadership and church growth.  You can also expect to see books from these notable christian authors: Jame Dobson, Max Lucado, John Hagee, Beverly Lewis, Karen Kingsbury, Joel Rosenberg, Tony Dungy, Stormie Omartian, Tim LaHaye, John Piper, Rick Warren and Joel Olsteen.

How many books should we order?

To answer this question it is best to work backwards. How much money do you need to raise?  After answering that question you need to ask yourself what you think your average selling price might be.  Take your amount need to raise and divide it by your selling price and you should have a ball park figure of how many books you will need.  Most organizations have no problems selling 500 books over the course of a day. Contact us, and we’ll be happy to consult you on order size.  

How quickly do the books come?

You should expect to see your books arrive approximately one week after your order is paid for.  Most of the time it only takes a few days!

Do I need to buy a display case?

No. All orders come shipped in multiple cases (approximately 4 cases per 100) and come with a cardboard floor display, signage and pricing stickers. The 4 piece display is very easy to setup!

How much should I charge per book?

We have found great success in selling books anywhere between $5 - $10 but each book has a list prices (MSRP) of anywhere between $7.99 and approximately $30. Some books are such great deals that people oftentimes offer to pay a little more. Don’t be shy when it comes to pricing these books. Cases come packed with rolls of attractive yellow price stickers, just tell us which retail price you want us to include. Open your cases of books and start stickering the books or post available signage that details your promotional price point.

Will we need tables to place these books on?

Yes you do. You will need several (depending on order size) 8’ tables to stack out additional books, as the floor display only holds 100 books. Books sell better when stacked spine or front cover up!

How do we stack the books?

Stack books in random order- do not worry about placing them in any system, by author or genre. This will create more activity as people will rummage through-out your displays and try to see everything.

How should people pay us?

Take cash, checks and (if possible) offer debit/credit card payments- you will generate larger dollar sales! An easy way to accept credit cards is via PayPal.

What do we do with any extra books?

If you have any books left over after the fundraiser you have a couple options.  You can donate them to your church’s library so that others may enjoy them.  You can also donate them to your local public library.  Finally, you can hold onto them and use them for your next Christian Book Fundraiser.
