Why a Loss Books fundraising partnership is so important…

The last few years have been difficult for charities with unprecedented demand for services. In addition, austerity has wreaked havoc on already strained budgets. Compounded by the recent pandemic, these problems are simply not going away.  It has never been more important for charities to find innovative ways to fundraise, to ensure that their mission and services are protected. Once you know what the challenges are, it is so much easier to look for ways to resolve them, and that is where Loss Books can help.
The best way to do this is to find new ways to diversify your fundraising income. By developing a wide range of innovative strategies for generating funds, you’ll be able to weather storms during turbulent economic times and periods of low public funding. You may have experienced a drop in individual donations, in part due to lack of personal funds but also the overwhelming choice of charities requiring donations.Maybe there is also the need to create trust in the supporter to part with their more than ever hard-earned cash.
We are here to offer you inspiration and help through our valued partnership programme.

Relying solely on donations is proving difficult for most charities!

THE PERFECT SOLUTION

We have the perfect solution to creating much well-needed funds for your baby loss charity and providing a heartfelt, lovely book that will help families with the grieving process.

Often people going through a bereavement struggle to find the words to say, especially to younger members of the family? Loss Books is a beautifully illustrated series of personalised and general memory book titles that tell a story that can sometimes be hard to share.

In the baby loss general (non-personalised) range, we cover book titles – ‘Our Baby’, ‘My Baby Sister’, ‘My Baby Brother’ & ‘My Twin’. They provide a way to say the words that can help families talk through their feelings experienced through grief. The books are a heartfelt reminder that your loved one will always be beside you in every step of life, even though they are no longer here on earth with us.

LOSS BOOKS PARTNER PROGRAMME

Our beautiful range of general and personalised illustrated baby, child, and adult loss memory books are a wonderful tool to help families talk and share their feelings around loss and grief. A way to remember a lost loved sibling, cousin, friend, significant adult in a safe and loving way.

The range offer diversity in titles (both general and personalised) skin tones, hair colours, and twin, triplet, and multiple loss books, as well as our child and adult ranges.

We can personalise or create general titles to suit the needs of your charity and supporters.

Three ways to get involved …

1. Reviving your fundraising in the business world

By forming long-term business-charity partnerships is a great way to establish a fundraising channel with clear long-term appeal. But the days of a logo on an end-of-year financial report are long gone. Now more than ever, charities, local businesses, and corporates are working together to build public awareness through creative social media.

Our books offer a unique opportunity for logos and promotional pages to be added to the general range of bereavement books. In addition, you can use this space for your charity and/or sponsors.

The wonderful and heartfelt range of books is beautifully illustrated and so are beautifully visual – a fantastic bonus for social media awareness about your charity!

A media pack of images provided for your use can be used on social media, along with the ability to add inspirational quotes, mission statements for your charity – or simply use some of the pages from the books as posts.

We will continue to provide updated images for your media posts via your charity social media folder.

2. Reviving your fundraising via your own personalised charity webpage at LossBooks.com

You will receive your very own charity order page on the Loss Books website and your very own unique link.

See example – www.lossbooks.com/sands/

You can choose from any of the range of general book titles you would like to promote (the most suitable depending on your charity needs – from baby, child, twin, triplet, multiple baby loss, and miscarriage to loss of adults, i.e. parents, grandparents, etc.).

You simply promote the link to your dedicated web page, and for every book ordered, your charity will receive a donation.

All books in your general range will automatically have your logo and website on the back cover.

The personalised book series

Your customers will also have access to a unique code to gain a 10% discount on any book in the personalised book range. You will also gain a 10% donation for your charity from the sale of each personalised book ordered using your unique code.

Books can also be personalised with a loved one’s name, for example, ‘Our Baby Maggie’ to make it entirely unique and extra special.’

3. Reviving your fundraising online or instore

You can order stock from any general book ranges at a discounted rate (sliding scale depending on the quantity ordered).

You can mail out orders directly from your online store, and/or you can use the stock to sell in any of the physical stores/charity shops.

Or, when you have fundraising events, ensure that stock is available to purchase on the day.

NB: Particularly useful for hospices with in-house shops.
