What happens when membership dues simply aren’t enough? How do you find supplemental sources of income? The needs are real, whether you’re looking to support students attending the Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition, purchase lunch for an SSHP meeting, or donate to a worthy cause.
Assess what you have going for you, and leverage that into cash:
Here is an opportunity for students to purchase ASHP publications at a discounted price and for your student society to earn money- all at the same time!
It's easy! Review the titles published by ASHP and gather your peers to decide which textbooks, review guides or resources you are most interested in. Depending on interest, choose the top titles to sell. It is helpful to have students commit to purchasing the title(s) before contacting ASHP. Students can purchase the titles at the ASHP member price and receive a discount for bulk orders.
How does the student society earn money from these sales? Your student society receives an additional 10% discount in addition to the bulk discount percentage. For example, if your SSHP sells 25 copies of a title, the students receive a 20% discount off of the member price. The SSHP then receives a 30% discount off of the title and pays that amount to ASHP. In other words, the SSHP makes 10% of every title’s member price that is sold and the student receives textbooks and resources at great discounts!
