As well as a full time mum to The Monkey & The Mouse, I also sell books.
I don't have a book shop or a warehouse with a fancy website;
I don't (generally) sell online but my catalogue is on my website;
I don't go door to door with a catalogue or sell from a stall in the market.
I DO, however hold parties in people's homes (a bit like tupperware or Ann Summers!) and book events in schools.
As this blog really is to promote my business - as opposed to my other blogs, where I try not to - I'll tell you all about it as I go along. But first.... here are some of my books! I didn't write them and I'm not a publisher but I love them and so do my children and my customers.
These were taken at yesterday's Book Day at the Wendy House, english language playschool. Each of the children brought their favourite book into school for the teachers to read. I set up my display in the pre-school classroom and the parents came to browse & buy.
In return for allowing me to take over their space and sell to their parents, I will be donating lots of books to the school's new library.
Everyone who hosts an Usborne event with me receives FREE* books. The number of books is based on a percentage of my sales, so the more books I sell, the bigger the donation. For schools, this can mean HUGE number of books at no cost to the school!I always work with the host to ensure that we get plenty of guests.
*Free books are offered subject to a minimum sales figure - incredibly easy to achieve.
