During the Fair Checklist
Unpack the Fair
Set up the Fair. Arrange your cases, create your tabletop displays, and prep the cashier’s table. Watch the video tutorial and find best practices.
Connect the payment system. For step-by-step instructions, check out our video tutorial or review the Quick-Start Guide.
Send reminders
Remind families about the Fair. Head to Fair Files to download flyers, social posts, and other resources to encourage families to participate.
Host teacher previews and class visits. Remind teachers to attend your preview event to receive their teacher coupon.* And encourage them to send their students to the Fair to create wish lists.
Keep sharing book trailers. Find them at book resources to give kids a sneak peek of the books waiting for them at the Fair.
Keep in mind
Check for unspent Book Fair eWallet balances. Review your eWallet roster on your Fair Details and Settings page. If students have a balance, alert teachers so they can send those kids back to the Fair to finish shopping.
Request a restock. If you’re running low on Fair favorites, head to the restock section on your Fair Details and Settings page.
Ask for Help. Got questions? Check the FAQs for quick answers.
*If you host a Case Fair, you’ll receive coupons to give to teachers for $5 off a $20 purchase. Coupons will be emailed to you one week before your Fair start date for distribution to teachers. If you don't receive this email, contact your Book Fair Consultant. Please note: teacher coupons are not available for Tabletop Fairs or BOGO Fairs.
