Getting the Most Out of Your Online Fair
Introduction
Your online fair invites your school community to explore our revamped Literati Store and its expanded catalog of books, STEM kits, and educational games sure to delight students of all sensibilities.
Four weeks before your in-person book fair, you’ll receive your school’s unique online fair link to share with your school community. Spread the URL far and wide, as shoppers can begin browsing and ordering books right away. You can also find your link by searching for your school by name on literati.com/store, or by visiting the Book Fairs page.
At this time, staff and volunteer discounts are only available at your in-person fair and not online.
Online Favorites
In addition to the books available at your in-person and online fairs, thousands of additional books and activities are available for purchase online.
These online favorites will be available at literati.com/online-favorites throughout the book fair and throughout the year, giving shoppers more to choose from and giving you more opportunities to fundraise.
Because all online sales during your online book fair period count toward your overall fair sales, notify your school community about Online Favorites early on by displaying your Library Checkout standee and passing out the Online Only Early Access Flyers and Bennie the Bookmoto Stickers found in your Marketing Must-Haves Kit. (See Resources section below.)

After Your Book Fair
When your book fair ends, your online sales from the past five weeks will be added to your total book fair sales. Items will arrive within 10 business days after your fair, depending on carrier transit times.
These shipments will contain a packing list with teacher and student names—or an entire box with a teacher’s name—to help you sort and distribute orders. When your order has shipped, you’ll receive an email that includes a copy of this list.
