I have been running the Scholastic Book Fairs for my school for the last four years. Presently we sell about $21,000 with a cash profit of 20% and then book profit of 10%. I was just told that we will be receiving boxes of books to hand out to our teachers for viewing the video and other activities that we do to promote the fair. I was not real excited about this and I know my teachers will complain when they find out. Our fair is October 20th. I know we sell more then most schools and we sometimes get better attention but I am not happy about the new incentives. The fair will be run as usual but they will be hearing from us when it is over. If their answer is not to our satisfaction we will consider another company. There are two fairs a year at our school. The second fair is only slightly less in sales then the first. With the amount of time and effort we put into these fairs they don't need to be getting skimpy on incentives. They are also delivering our fair earlier and picking it up later than we asked. This can be helpful and frustrating at the same time. This is convenient for them but can be a problem for us since space is an issue at our school and I have selected preview days and selling days. It's nice having the books arrive early but if we are not prepared to start selling what's the use. We'll see what happens.
