This is what my stand at a school event looks like - well, on this occasion at Turku International School I was offered a pool table! I looked at the huge area and said "I'll probably only use half" and then proceeded to fill the whole thing! It was a late booking - the call came on Thursday for a Saturday morning - and it was a HUGE success!
The grade 1-6 students had a Saturday morning at school and so the Parents' Assocation organised the event for the parents who wanted to hang around for their children. There was tea & cake, various stalls run by parents (bits & bobs, 2nd hand books, clothes) and me with my pool table...
The school received £85 worth of FREE books... if they had ordered the books from me, they would have paid almost 120 euros but by inviting me along to their event and letting me sell to the parents, they got the books for nothing (except time, space & customers).
Since this event I have also been at a school in Helsinki where they school received £115 worth of FREE books in just 3 hours!
If you would like FREE books for your school, please just get in touch - World Book Day is in the spring - an event in March or April would be a great time to celebrate this!
