Who Can Benefit from BOOKS?

Why are books important in a digital world?

A quality book is considered a gift, kept on a coffee table, office lobby, bookshelf, or is passed on to a friend or colleague interested in that topic. A quality brochure or marketing packet is still considered a sales tool, usually tossed in the garbage after a quick browse.
A book has staying power that a flyer or brochure does not. A book is a unique marketing, media, and fundraising tool in the digital age.
A book says “authority”, “industry credibility”, and “commitment”.
A book allows you to position your organization, products, services, and differentiate your business and advance your brand.
A book can create media interest and media opportunities that otherwise would not have been available without purchasing expensive airtime or print ads.
Touch it, highlight it, dog-ear it, bookmark it. A book is visually superior to a webpage and is tactile, creating a visceral reaction in the reader. A book is visually superior and more memorable than a webpage.

I never thought of writing a book. How is a book relevant to what I do?

Every person has a story and every business has knowledge to share; whether a doctor, dentist, lawyer, insurance salesman, business coach, chef, a profit or non-profit..

Sharing your knowledge through a book is a way to communicate in a memorable way. The recipient will have a feeling that they have been “gifted” something special, not “sold” something. They are more likely to harbor good will towards the company.

ANNIVERSARY & COMMEMORATIVE

Commemorating a business or school anniversary cultivates a sense of accomplishment, recognizing milestones and resilience. It builds employee and or student morale, fosters loyalty, and showcases institutional growth. Reflecting on achievements inspires confidence in stakeholders and creates a positive narrative, strengthening the organization’s reputation and community ties.

Colleges, Universities & Private Schools

Private grade schools, colleges and universities are responsible for educating their students, but in order to enroll students the process of outreach, marketing the school is necessary. Each school is different and has unique approaches and offerings for programs and degrees, faculty, athletic programs, administration, specializations, campus amenities, rankings, location, alumni testimonials, and post-graduation placement.

Schools are filled with textbooks, but we work with educational institutions to create a book as a development and marketing tool to promote the school, showcase the amenities and services, staff, teams, mascot, alumni, donors, and student body through imagery and content in order to increase enrollment and fundraising.

Every school has a different spirit, a different story…what is yours?

Non-Profits and Advocacy Groups

We have helped interest groups and advocacy groups with outreach, publicity, and book publishing in order to raise awareness and promote the cause.

Advocacy is an area that can significantly benefit from a book. StarGroup worked with one of our clients, Scott Greenberg, National Seniors Advocate, to help him write his informative and humorous book, Oh My God, I’m Getting Older and So is My Mom! His book became a powerful tool through which he gained national awareness, media coverage, and speaking engagements, allowing him to reach a much wider audience of senior citizens and their families facing financially and emotionally charged issues of aging.

A few of these books are: (CLICK IMAGES FOR MORE DETAIL)
“Oh My God, I’m Getting OLDER and So is My Mother” by Scott Greenberg, Senior Advocate & Radio Show Host
“101 Reason to Read to Your Child” by Brenda Star
“Citizenship – what Every American Needs to Know” by Brenda Star

Non-profits have a variety of ways to raise funds, but an often overlooked fundraising development tool is a BOOK. A quality book is an excellent way of delivery an organization’s message, outline programs, state achievements, showcase photos and testimonials from those who have benefited from the efforts of the organization, and a great gift to acknowledge donors.

A book can be underwritten by a person or company that is supporting the organization and align itself in the community with a worthy cause.
