B&N Bookfairs: How It Works

• Step 1: Plan

  
  From poetry readings to scavenger hunts, our booksellers know how to stage events that will draw your supporters. We'll work with you to plan exciting events featuring your school or organization that coincide with your bookfair. Based on your individual needs, we can tailor displays during the bookfair specifically for you. Bookfair dates are typically reserved at least 8 weeks in advance to provide time to plan, communicate, and execute a successful bookfair. Contact us to plan a bookfair.

• Step 2: Promote

  
  Promoting your bookfair to your supporters everywhere and anywhere is the key to its success. A Barnes & Noble representative will work with you as you develop your bookfair and provide ongoing support as you build and execute your communication plan to your supporters. We will also provide you with ready-made materials needed to publicize your bookfair, including a unique bookfair ID number that will identify your purchases both in-store and, when eligible, online.

• Step 3: Experience

  
  The day of your bookfair, your supporters attend planned events, shop our store, and have fun supporting and celebrating your school or organization! After choosing from our vast selection of items, they present their voucher with your unique bookfair number with their purchases. Select bookfairs are also eligible with online purchases, allowing your supporters to shop online the day of your bookfair through 5 days after the in-store bookfair and enter the unique bookfair number on the payment page to identify their purchase. Discuss eligibility requirements for online sales with your Barnes & Noble representative.

• Step 4: Earn Rewards

  
  It's easy! Your supporters shop, and Barnes & Noble gives your organization a percentage of net proceeds from the bookfair sales. Choose a Barnes & Noble giftcard or a check. Remember, the more supporters shop, the more you earn.
