[aisle] Follett Online Book Fair

Thu Jan 7 11:29:26 CST 2021

We did exactly the same.  We too had minimal sales compared to when students are all here in person.  I won’t do another virtual fair.  It was extremely easy though!  Just not worth it for the profit we made – I think I only had 5 orders.

We did a Follett bookfair right before Thanksgiving.  The books came to school and parents had to come pick them up.  I didn't do that great in sales, but the other two buildings were over $1,000.  It's a pain to sort them, bundle them and put the kids' names on them for pick up, but I felt like I at least tried.
The book selection was good - I did the K-6 fair so there was a wide variety.  We got the books by mid December, so considering we had the Thanksgiving break in there, I thought the turnaround was fine.  There were a few books that just came this week, but overall, I thought the fair was good and easy to do.

I would like to know as well.  As of last year, they did not have option to send the books directly to the students.

Hi,

We have used Scholastic for many years and did their online book fair in the spring but found it a bit problematic. We are considering having an online book fair with Follett.  If you have done a Follett online book fair, if you could let me know if you had a good experience and/or any problems with the fair, it's selections, delivery of materials, etc. I would appreciate it.  My email is lindasawyer at sfx-school.org<mailto:lindasawyer at sfx-school.org>

Thanks and happy new year!

Linda
