1 SET UP Your Fair Gather 3 to 5 volunteers and use these instructions as your guide to set up your Fair. Choose the largest space available so customers can shop in comfort. 1. POSITION YOUR CASES Cases Organize cases in order of reading level. Merchandise left to right starting with Primary 1, Primary 2, Junior, Intermediate, Nonfiction Plus and end with Young Adult (if applicable). Position cases in a horseshoe shape around the perimeter of the room. Open cases and align so they are slightly touching each other. Close each case if you need to move them. Please note: The number of cases and/or boxes may vary due to sales and availability. 2. SET UP YOUR TABLES Tables Position tables in the centre of Fair area. Allow plenty of room around each table for shopping. Put boxes of product beside each table and near the appropriate case with a similar reading level. Creating table displays Step 1. Place supplied table covers on tables. To create more display space, place the box that the books came in on the centre of the table, open side down. Cover the box with another table cover. Step 2. Stack larger books in the centre of the table with smaller stacks on either side. Use the supplied cardboard book easels to create a pyramid effect to the display. Vary book covers between light and dark. Step 3. Place smaller books toward the edge of the table. Since customers will approach tables from all directions, display product so there is something to catch their eye from every direction. 12 TOOLS to look for Don t forget Reading your Believe in ith your Fair. box coming w dent a Give every stu e access to chance to hav nd inspire a great books a. love of reading 3.
