Book Purchase Options

Books are always optional, and we offer several easy models depending on your event type.

1. Local Bookstore Partnership (preferred)

We coordinate with a local bookstore to handle inventory and sales.
Your members support a small business while getting a great resource.

2. Sponsor-Purchased Book Bundles

A Chamber or corporate sponsor purchases books for attendees.
This doubles as a member gift and a visibility boost for the sponsor.

3. Direct Author Sales

If a bookstore isn’t available, Desiree can bring books at her author rate and handle all sales onsite.

4. Book-Included Ticket Option

For ticketed events, books can be bundled into registration for a premium attendee experience.

No matter the model, logistics are simple and fully supported.

Event Funding Options

This program fits easily into the funding structures Chambers and Associations already use.

Most organizations choose one of the following:

1. Event Sponsor (most popular)

A local business sponsors the event, covering speaker and event costs in exchange for visibility and recognition.

2. Ticketed Educational Event

Revenue from tickets covers program, catering, and venue costs

3. Professional Development or Programming Budget

The event is treated as part of your member education series.

Travel Policy: For events beyond a two-hour radius of Brighton, Michigan, standard travel and one-night lodging are required. These costs are typically covered by sponsors or ticket revenue.

Non-Dues Revenue for Chambers & Associations

Your organization can earn additional revenue when members join The Table, Desiree’s practical, monthly marketing community.

This optional affiliate partnership provides:

• A simple, automated revenue stream
• No additional administrative work
• Year-round value for your members
• Ongoing education that supports your event

It’s an easy way for Chambers and Associations to extend value beyond the event itself.
