I have statred working with the local High School cooking teacher (also catering business). How about some suggestions on getting them SA at big discounts. I know it should be a show to get the best benefits but how would YOU do it? Flyers? EMAIL?
 
I'm not sure what you are asking.....are you asking about a fundraiser and how to advertise it?

not exactly a fundraiser but, wording for orders to benefit the school program I guess. Do you think a fundraiser would benefit better? I thought for getting products that a show would be best. I have donated some of the retired products received at conference to them and they LOVE the Battery Operated Sifters (go figure).

By the way, we live in a small town with only one High School so realistically I wouldn't think a fundraiser would be best.

:) Maybe a Gift Certificate Show would work.
 
Oh"Order products to donate to the local High School Cooking Class! Order something for yourself and help even more because the more orders that are placed the more FREE products the class will earn!"

I could create a flyer for you later today if you want.

Debbie :D

Thanks Debbie, sometimes the most obvious is not well, obvious ya know? Thanks for the offer but I think I will see if a Gift Certificate sell a thon will work for them. It's such a no brainer because of the no shipping and tax thing. Thanks for your wording I will use that for my proposal!
