I want to send a letter to the business manager of some local dentist/doctors offices to promote getting their office workers a Pampered Chef gift certificate as part of their Christmas presents (most of the offices I worked at the boss would give each of their office staff a present at Christmas time)

I just dont know how to word it nicely. Thanks so much for your help in advance :chef:
 
I offered this to a couple of locally owned small businesses. Both told me that due to the economy, they are giving their employees cash bonuses. Good luck but I wouldn't spend a lot of money on it with so many out of work and preferring cash...

Thanks. I had a friend come up with something for me. I only invested a book of stamps, so I am sure I won't be too put out.
 
Please share what your friend put came up with.. I thought I would like to send something like that as well. Like you said the only investment would be stamps (maybe envelopes and paper, ink, LOL ) but I think you just never know until you try! Hope you get some sales from this!

Thanks Patty. Like you said, it's a small investment. And you never gain anything unless you try. ;) I couldn't figure out how to attach the document, so here is a copy/paste of it :)



Dear Office Manager,

Holiday gift giving can sometimes be confusing and overwhelming.
Consider all the day to day operations that have to happen to make your business run efficiently.
The hardworking and efficient team that helps your office run smoothly will appreciate a thoughtful gift that will make their homes and kitchens run smoothly as well.

Here is an idea for a practical and appreciated gift for your dedicated staff.

Pampered Chef Gift certificates may be used on items that are high quality, well made and best of all perfect for ALL times of the year.
Gift Certificates are available in any denomination, starting at $20, and may be used at hostess parties, on individual orders thru our bi-annual catalog, and at my personal website: _______________________
If you are having trouble finding that perfect gift for your staff please consider a Pampered Chef Gift Certificate.

Sounds great! I am going to "steal" this and use it! I was wanting to do something like this, but for the life of me could not come up with the wording! Thanks for posting!
 
That's great, Leslie. I hope you get a few offices taking advantage of the offer.

Just a note, though - you need to remove the link to your website from your post. This is a no-no both on this site, and with HO.

Congrats on being a college freshman, by the way!! That's very exciting. How is school going for you?

Thanks Sarah. I didn't know that, I will do it now.

School is going well so far. I can't go full time until my baby (20 months) is in school, so I am only taking 2 classes a semester. So far, A's in both classes. I am a pre-nursing major, so I am sure it will get harder LOL
 
One thing to mention is that people can't redeem official gift certificates at a show. If you make your own personal gift certificates that are redeemable through you, then you can. Here's what the policy manual says:Redeeming a gift certificateTo redeem a gift certificate, the recipient must submit
it to the Home Office, either by mail or online via
Pamperedchef.com. Gift certificates are not redeemable at
a Show, through a Consultant or through PamperedPartner®
Plus. They may not be purchased or redeemed through the
Wedding Registry.
Outlet items cannot be purchased with
gift certificates. Hosts may not apply their past host discount
when redeeming gift certificates.
 
I make my own gift certificates to use as "giveaways" when I have to provide a door prize or donate to our local MOPS group or schools. Here it is for you.
