In recent years, many dental hygienist and dental assisting constituent and component organizations have purchased thousands of books from DMD House at steep discounts and offered them for resale to their members at the full list price. The resulting profit has enabled these associations to supplement their budgets, thus keeping dues low and membership levels high. (This process has also enabled their members to conveniently purchase DMD House books which are not sold in stores.) Our policy in the past has been to require payment in advance on all orders in addition to asking customers to cover shipping charges. As you will see when you read further, we have decided on a new approach to our book marketing process through professional societies and associations—it's called CONSIGNMENT SALES AND FREE SHIPPING TO YOU!

Here's how simple and easy it is to raise funds for your organization, step by step:

Step 1: Place your sample consignment order
Send DMD House your organization's check in the amount of just $50 and receive two sample copies each of all of the following items: Chicken Soup for the Dental Soul (list price $12.95), Love Is the Best Medicine® for Dental Patients and the Dental Team (list price $14.95), the just-published Love Is the Best Medicine® Dental mini-book 4-pack (list price $14.85) plus individual mini-books, The Heart of Dentistry, It's All About Smiles, Kids at the Dental Office, and We Care! (list price $4.95 each)—a total of 14 books and 4-packs representing a list price value of more than $125. And shipping is free! (Only one sample order per organization, please!) If your organization sells a minimum of 2 cases of books, you may take a credit of $50 on your final payment which means the $125 sample order is FREE! Place your sample order now by completing the Sample Consignment Order Form and sending it to DMD House along with your payment.


Step 2: Place your full consignment order
To the best of your ability, estimate how many copies of our books your organization can sell. Please round off your estimates to full case lots. (Some organizations take orders—including paid orders—from members and prospective customers in advance.) Print out and fill in the Full Consignment Order Form, sign it, and fax or mail it to DMD House. As discussed below, you have 90 days in which to sell your books from the time your shipment arrives until you make payment to DMD House! As a courtesy, a pro forma invoice will be sent to you immediately after your order is filled. This is the amount your organization will owe DMD House should all of the inventory be sold.


Step 3: Inventory reduction sale
When considering your order, be sure to note that we're having an INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE of last year's top book, Love Is the Best Medicine® for Dental Patients and the Dental Team to make room in the warehouse for 100,000 of our four new mini-books. Although the list price is $14.95, we're selling Love Is the Best Medicine® for only $6.25 apiece through April 30, 2003.


Step 4: Free one-way shipping to you
We will provide free UPS Ground shipping to your organization on ALL full case orders received between now and March 30, 2003. All we ask is that your organization pay for return shipping via UPS Ground on any books not sold! This is our only insurance that you will be conservative in your estimate of what you can sell in your fundraising activity.


Step 5: Sell books to your members
While many organizations sell our books at the list price during their fundraising events, others add a dollar or two to the list price on each item to cover the normal DMD House single item shipping charge of $4.00.


Step 6: Sell books to the dental practices where your members work
Some organizations have been quite successful in selling large numbers of books—often full case lots—to individual dental offices where their members work. At that rate, it doesn't take long to sell dozens of cases! An added bonus is that the dental hygienist or dental assistant often receives—as a gift—one or more of the books purchased by the practice. That's another big incentive to participate in this program!


Step 7: Calculate amount owed and submit payment by check or money order to DMD House covering all books sold within 90 days of receipt of shipment
The amount owed will be based on the quantity of each title actually sold. To initiate the return process, print out and complete the Consignment Return Request Form listing any unsold inventory and fax or mail it to DMD House. We will immediately prepare a final invoice for your organization based on the Group Wholesale Price List. All remittances should be made by check or money order payable to DMD House.


Step 8: Return unsold books to DMD House via UPS ground
Securely pack any unsold books in stout cardboard cartons and ship them (prepaid) to DMD House in Murrieta, California via UPS Ground. Be sure to retain the tracking numbers in the unlikely event one or more cases are lost in transit since the shipper is liable for settling non-delivery claims with UPS. As explained above, the shipping cost on any returned books is borne by the association, not DMD House. DMD House will not accept any returns shipped COD.
