Four kinds of January kickoff, four shelves.

Start with the room you are planning. Each shelf holds four of the titles our business customers order most, with today’s price per copy at 25 and at 100.

The order-by date

In hand for a Tue, Jan 12 kickoff: order by Tue, Dec 22.

Ground delivery to one address takes about 7–10 business days, and nothing ships on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day. Order by Tue, Dec 22 and even the slowest ground delivery lands by Thu, Jan 7, with a few days of cushion before your first session. Logo journals ship in the same box, so one date covers everything.

Kickoff on a different day, or books going to several offices or to each person’s home? Mailing to individual homes takes longer, so a specialist will count back from your date and your list. Ask a specialist to plan the date.

  1. Books and logo journalsOrder by Tue, Dec 22

    Your artwork gets a digital proof in 2–3 business days, Castelli makes the journals in about 5, then ground delivery.

  2. A name on every journalOrder by Tue, Dec 8

    Names are stamped in foil, which takes Castelli longer, so those orders close earlier.

Sales kickoff

Send the team into the quarter with the same playbook.

Books on customers, service and the buyers of the next decade. Put one on every seat before the opening session, and the first morning starts from a shared page.

Leadership offsite

Give the leadership room one idea to argue about.

A common read turns an offsite from a slide review into a conversation. These four are big on ideas and easy to quote across a table.

Culture and teams

Launch the new year with a shared language.

Trust, strengths, recognition and inclusion. Start with StrengthsFinder 2.0: every new copy includes one CliftonStrengths access code, so each person arrives with their own top five.

New-manager cohort

Hand every new manager a first book for the job.

January is when many companies promote and then train. Give the whole cohort the same book, and the first workshop begins with a common question.

The add-on

A journal with your logo beside every book.

People who write things down bring better notes to the next session. A Castelli journal debossed or foil-stamped with your logo turns the kickoff into something they keep, and it ships in the same box as the books.

  • One die is waived at 100 or more journals. Your logo die costs $75 on a smaller order and nothing at 100 or more.
  • A second die is always charged. A second logo, for example on the back cover, adds a $75 die at any quantity.
  • Proof before anything is made. A specialist sends a digital proof of your artwork, and nothing goes to production until you approve it.

See Castelli journals Bookplates and inserts

Journals with your artwork take longer than books, and the die rule depends on your design and quantity. A journal specialist will confirm the die and the date before you approve anything.

Make it the moment

A kickoff book lands better when it carries your voice.

Pick one touch or layer all three. Each works on a group order, and a specialist shows you a proof before anything is produced.

  • A bookplate from your leader

    A printed or signed plate inside the cover from your CEO, your head of sales or the host of the offsite.

  • An agenda or letter insert

    Tuck the agenda, the reading plan or a note about this year’s goals into every copy.

  • One address or several offices

    Boxes to your venue or head office, or split across regional offices on one quote and one invoice.

Questions from sales leaders and HR

Kickoff book questions.

Which book should we choose for a sales kickoff?

Choose the book that matches the theme of your year: customer care, selling to a new generation, or giving value first. The sales shelf on this page lists four titles our business customers order most, with live prices at 25 and 100 copies. Not sure which fits your team? Tell a specialist your goals and head count and they will suggest a few titles.

What does each book cost at 25 and at 100 copies?

Every card on this page shows today’s price per copy at 25 copies and at 100 copies, read live from our catalog before tax and shipping. Group pricing steps down again at larger volumes, up to 51% off list. Publishers change prices, so your written quote always shows the current tier. Want a number for a different quantity? A specialist will quote it.

When should we order for a January kickoff?

For books and logo journals in hand for a Tue, Jan 12 kickoff, order by Tue, Dec 22. Ground delivery to one address takes about 7-10 business days and nothing ships on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day, so the slowest ground delivery lands by Thu, Jan 7. A name on every journal closes earlier, by Tue, Dec 8. Kickoff on another date? A specialist will count back from it with you.

Can we put our logo on journals for the whole team?

Yes. Castelli journals can be debossed or foil-stamped with your logo and ship in the same box as the books. One die is waived at 100 or more journals, and a second die, such as a back-cover logo, is always charged. A journal specialist confirms the die and the date on your quote before you approve anything.

Can you ship to several offices or to each person's home?

Yes. One order can be split across offices or mailed to individual homes. Delivery to one or a few offices follows the dates above. Mailing one book to each person takes longer, about 3–4 weeks with our most economical option, so it needs an earlier order date. Send a specialist your list and your kickoff date and they will plan it with you.

Do you take purchase orders?

Yes. Email your purchase order to [email protected] or reference it when you place the order. Payment terms are Net 30 from the invoice date for approved accounts, or you can pay by card, ACH or wire. Your written quote holds for 30 days, so you can have it approved before the holidays. Need something for your finance team? A specialist will send our W-9 and vendor details.
