Cookbook Printing Company - Fundcraft Final Submission Checklist

Final Submission Checklist

Determining how many books to order

The number of books any group orders depends on several important factors. Keep in mind that the minimum order for the Fundcraft Cookbook Program is 200 books.

    * Count any advance orders placed by recipe submitters on the Fundcraft recipe collection forms and adjust your numbers.
    * Add pre-sales coupons and gift certificates sold.
    * Make sure to order enough cookbooks to generate enough money to meet your fundraising goal.
    * Ordering extra cookbooks will allow for continued sales on www.cookbooks.com web site and to fill orders generated through local news releases.
    * Remember, if you reorder, the same quantity of cookbooks will cost less than your original order; however, reorders with smaller quantities will be more expensive. It is a better value to order extra cookbooks on your initial order than to make a small second order.

Preparing your manuscript

    * Determine the type of binding style
    * Choose a recipe format.
    * Categorize your recipes according to the appropriate section divider titles you have selected.
    * Use our layout sheets, printed from the CD or from the Fundcraft Cookbook Program marketing kit, to set up your cover, dividers and local information pages
    * Select a Fundcraft cover design or design your own.
    * Include the text and photo you want to include on your local information pages. Number the pages in the order you want them to appear in your book. Select graphics for local information pages.
    * Select a Fundcraft divider set or design your own.
    * If you sold merchant advertising, group your ads according to size and determine a final page count
    * Follow artwork submission guidelines for all photos and artwork.

Submitting your order

    * Fill out the order form completely. Your order cannot be processed without your order form, completed and signed by two non-related members of your group.
    * Determine your per-book base cost, based on your binding style, number of recipes and number of books in your order.
    * Mark your options on the order form and calculate the total for your order.
    * If your cookbooks will not be sold for fundraising purposes, include 50% of this total as a deposit with your order. Final balance is due before shipping.
    * Include everything in your order at one time, as you may be charged extra for additional recipes or other materials that are submitted after the manuscript is received. Also include any coupons, as coupons submitted after your order is received will not be honored.
    * If you use Short/Cut Online, your completed order form must be received before your order can be complete.
    * Be sure to take into consideration our production time, and submit your order with plenty of time for special dates or planned events.
    * Wrap and ship your package to one of the addresses below and let Fundcraft do the rest!
