custom publications

So your school or community group needs to raise money, and you want to involve everyone to make your project a lasting community project? Fundraising cookbooks could be the perfect solution.

A cookbook fundraiser can be set up in two ways, either by buying pre-made books to sell (just a little bit boring), or by gathering your own recipes and then printing and selling them.

Consider printing the cookbooks in a magazine format, with beautiful glossy photographs.The great news is that this can be quite cost effective – similarly to the fundraising calendars, it’s possible to produce for around $5 per book througha custom publishing company and on-sell for at least double that price.

Selling books door to door is a tactic that has been adopted by schools, girl scouts and sporting groups for decades, but there are other ways. An excellent way to sell cookbooks is to go to local markets or and set up a small stand. By doing this you maximize the amount of people who will see and buy your book. Or consider booking space in your local shopping centre – as a community group, I’m sure shopping centre management would offer a great deal.

To createa book like this you will need recipes. Ask local businesses, and residents. Hold a cooking day where the recipes are made...and can be photographed by the professional photographer supplied by your custom publisher.

Make sure to get recipes in several different categories - soups, desserts, pasta, seafood,chicken, salads, red meat, to make your book appealing. Consider adding stories from contributors.
