| Overview |
"Hometown Almanac: The Christmas Memories
Book"
is
a collection of essays and interviews quotations that share the Christmas
memories of
notable local figures and
their national counterparts. |
| Rationale |
In every community, Christmas is a special
time. This text will contain approximately 40 pages of
localized content; as such, it will be an "instant keepsake" for
readers who seek to know more about local traditions and heritage. |
| Typical Structure of Book |
40 pages of local content plus approximately
80 pages of
national content (local ads in the back of the book are optional) |
| Suggested Retail Price per
Book |
$12.00 (Note: as an incentive, Publishing
Partners may, in some cases, choose to offer reduced prices for large
quantities of books. Or, Publishers may offer some other revenue sharing
arrangement to advertisers, to fundraising organizations, or to sponsors) |
| Potential Advertisers |
Local retailers and institutions that serve
those retailers (such as banks); if a school or organization seeks to
sponsor this book, thus using ad
sales as a fundraising tool, a significant portion of advertising revenues
can
go to the organization that sponsors the students or boosters who sell the
advertising. |
| Suggested Ad Rates |
$100 per page (in the event that a non-profit
organization sells ads in a fundraising effort, the organization could
retain $50 per page). |
| Sponsorship of the Entire Book |
Between $1,000 and $2,500, depending upon the
expected distribution and impact of the book. Sponsorship revenues, if
any, are retained by Publishing Partners to offset the costs of creating
local content. |
