Contract value

$1,500,000

The contract includes a $150,000 minimum annual guarantee for the first year, quarterly commissions (which typically range from 5‑10 % of sales), a $5,000 signing bonus, annual marketing ($7,500), sponsorship ($7,500), IT investment ($10,000), and a capital‑improvement pool up to $200,000 over the term. Assuming average annual sales of $1–1.5 million for a mid‑size university bookstore, total commissions could average $80,000‑$120,000 per year. Adding the guaranteed minimum, annual budgets, and one‑time capital allocations yields an approximate annual spend of $250,000‑$300,000. Over the initial five‑year term this equals roughly $1.3‑$1.5 million, with the optional renewals potentially adding another $500,000‑$600,000. Therefore a reasonable ball‑park estimate for the total contract value is about **$1.5 million**.
