Custom Cover Project
A.E. Engine trial-tested a new, risk-free high school fundraising program titled “The Custom Cover Project”. The Custom Cover Project allows high schools to sell preorders of the FNF high school football preview magazine respective to their state. The program was made available on a limited basis in Texas, Florida and Tennessee.
The program is risk free, with the school generating money on the very first sale and not responsible for a minimum financial commitment. When a school reaches a predetermined number of magazines sold, it receives its very own front cover (which is placed on the preorder copies there fans purchased and designed by the A.E. Engine design team). Schools als0 receive additional revenue-generating inventory at no cost once they earn the cover custom.
Eighteen schools participated in the trial program, and 11 earned a custom cover. In total, the program generated more than $47,250 for the participating schools. Below are some examples of the 2010 Custom Covers. To learn more, please visit www.customcoverproject.com.
