Your Anniversary

A corporate anniversary is an important event in any organisation's life. Success and longevity in business are major achievements and it is an appropriate time to reflect on the reasons for that success.

A book produced for an anniversary should be planned well ahead of time as it will become the permanent reflection of the company at that point.

As with all book projects the more time you allow the better the final book will be. It is also important to recognise that with most anniversary books the CEO and Chairman will usually become quite involved, reviewing the manuscript and design concepts. You therefore need to allow time for this. Please look at the section How To Publish Your Book for a guide to all the key issues.

The book should be available a minimum of one month before any major event to allow you to organise the marketing and distribution of the book and prepare special editions if required.

Successful anniversary books Focus has published include Qantas' 50th anniversary, MBF's 50th anniversary, Coal & Allied's 150th anniversary, Washington H Soul Pattinson's 100th anniversary, Woolworth's 75th anniversary, Hotel Inter-Continental's 50th anniversary.
