Hello,
I want to let you all know about a unique fundraising opportunity available
to APO Chapters around the country. It is a WWW based TextBook Exchange
Service. Organizations make money by promoting the service on their campus
and selling the passcodes necessary to post books for sale. Profit margins
are between 100 and 250%. ($.50 - $2.50) per sale. No up-front costs.
Potential market size is 10 - 12 books bought and sold per student per year!
College size of 10,000 means 100,000 to 120,000 books bought and sold on
that campus per year!
The communication service is designed as an alternative to traditional book
buy-back systems. The idea is to find out who on your campus (or a campus
near yours ) wants the books you have and who has the books you may want!
(CUT OUT THE MIDDLE MAN) Because it is WWW based, the service can be
accessed from virtually anywhere!
Once the service is established on your campus, your organization can profit
year after year after year! No more inventing a new fundraiser every year!
Not only that, but it is a very useful service and the students will thank
you for having it!
Check it out!
