dBlues and You: Become an Affiliate

documentingBlues has exciting news to share about a fundraising opportunity where you can benefit from the sales of the recent release of “Blues on Beale Street: Memoirs of the International Blues Challenge” photo book! 

The debut was a huge success at the 2015 IBC. Here are two ways you can choose to raise money for your organization!

With this first fundraising option, you have the opportunity to raise the most money. We have created a wholesale program exclusively for you to make 30% of the book’s sale. Your organization buys the books at the wholesale price of $31.50, with a minimum order of ten books, plus shipping. The suggested retail price is $45.00. You can sell them on websites, at your merchant tables, at society meetings, etc. Let us know where you will be selling them, and we will cross promote with you! We have even had a couple of organizations find members to underwrite the wholesale cost, so the organization receives the full amount from the sale of the book. You can confirm your participation in this wholesale opportunity by filling out the form here. We will then email you an invoice. Once the invoice is paid in full we will mail the order with in two business days. 

There is a second option, in which there is no upfront cost to you. When the consumer purchases the book online at the dBlues store, they have the option to choose an affiliate, like yours, as the benefitting organization. At the end of each month, you will receive 15% of the proceeds of the purchases ($4.05 per book sold online). Your organization can become a dBlues affiliate by filling out the form here.

In return for joining the dBlues affiliate team, we ask that you post information about being a benefitting affiliate to your websites, Facebook pages, and profiles. Once you sign up, will send you graphics appropriate to be used for all social media platforms! If you choose the wholesale option, you will automatically be added to the online store as a dBlues benefitting affiliate. 

Thanks for your support and consideration in this great fundraising opportunity for your organization and for partnering with documentingBlues.com!
