The Catholic Book and Film Fair

Ignatius Press, one of the world’s largest Catholic publishers and distributors of quality Catholic products, is pleased to offer this incredible fundraising opportunity to parishes, schools, youth groups, and other Catholic organizations. By partnering with Ignatius Press, you can raise money for your special projects by offering some of our best-selling products right in your own church or school, after Masses, at conferences, and at special events or social gatherings.

Here’s how it works:

Ignatius Press will:

Send a selection of about 175 of our best-selling DVDs, books, CDs, and other religious materials. We will send one of each item for display and to sell and you will have additional sales from subsequent orders. We even pay the shipping to send this merchandise to you!
Provide you with promotional materials including posters, flyers, and a sample bulletin announcement. You can also access these from this website and print as many as you need.
Provide you with special Catholic Book & Film Fair catalogs and order forms (also downloadable from this website). In addition to the items you will have on display you can take orders for items listed in our catalogs and, as long as they are placed in conjunction with your event, you can make the same profit on all items which you sell.
Sell you any items in our catalogs for 70% of the items’ normal retail price thereby enabling you to make a profit of 30% of sales at retail prices (20% for Faith and Life and Image of God series; no profit available on any of the Didache books). No advance payment is required. Payments will be completed at the end of your event.
NEW! You may elect to purchase your display products only at a 45% discount from our retail prices if you opt to keep all display products, returning none for credit. All subsequent orders will be at the usual 30% (20% for Faith and Life and Image of God series). If you decide on this option, you must fill out and fax Agreement-45 to us. This could add up to hundreds of dollars in additional profit! Not to mention, saved return shipping costs! Be sure to check out the Product Profit List on this website.

You will:

Advertise the Ignatius Press Catholic Book and Film Fair event.
Provide tables for proper display of the Ignatius materials.
Provide enough people to adequately handle sales.
Make sure all checks are made payable to your church or school so that one check can be sent to Ignatius Press from your church or school for payment of the items you purchased.
Pay shipping ONLY on any unsold materials (if there are any) that you purchased and wish to return to Ignatius Press.

Please see the Guidelines for more detailed information.

NEW! We would like to reward our Catholic Book & Film Fair hosts for collecting e-mails and names and address of those customers who would like to stay in touch via our e-mail special announcements and/or FREE catalogs from Ignatius Press. We will send our hosts FREE books just for sending those contacts to us. Sign-Up and Reward sheets will be sent to you. Additional copies are on this webpage.
