I have used both Troll and Scholastic Book Fairs for many years. I like Troll because of the profit that I receive. The materials are in cases for the most part, the paperwork is simple and the people have always been nice to work with. The one problem with using a company year after year, though, is that some of the books are the same each year. They do a pretty good job, though, of sending new materials each year. This spring, I tried Scholastics newest kind of bookfair- their Discovery Fair. It is a non-fiction book fair. Everything tied in some way to science, social studies, etc.. It was VERY cool. The kids and staff loved it. I have never had so many positive comments. The fair included many books, but also a ton of puzzles, games, creatures to grow (sea monkeys and brine shrimp), computer software, and lot of other fun stuff. One of the reps came at 7:45 a.m. the first day of the fair and helped me set up. They gave me a box of free stuff to use for advertisement. They were all very friendly- from the two reps I worked with to the delivery guy. My one concern was that things were more expensive than usual, especially for our area. I couldn't believe it when I added up all the proceeds- I sold almost $4400.00 of stuff- more than $1000.00 more than ever before. We made a great profit- and I have signed up for a spring fair for next year. If you are looking for something new- check this out.
