Pamper Your Grad: College-Bound Gift Ideas for High School Seniors

[Nep2nfly]

Hello! I'm new to this but have been really enjoying everyone's fantastic ideas. It made me start thinking. I work at a high school and graduation is coming up soon....SO I thought about packaging a few products together that would be perfect for a student getting ready to go to college. I'm attaching the flyer I made up today....tell me what you think....I'm game for all sorts of suggestions. You all are an inspiration. I hope to premier this at my grand opening!

I'm not sure if my file attached....what am I doing wrong?

 

[Nep2nfly]

I figured it out - I had posted it in a wrong format!

I feel like this is such a good idea! I wish I would have had some Pampered Chef stuff when I went off to college (I'm currently a senior). My microwave cooking days were such a disaster, and that cafeteria food gets old pretty quickly! It might even be a good idea to talk up the DCB since it can be used in the microwave and some dorms don't have a full kitchen to cook in.

Great flyer! I would also try and include a set that had the Deep Covered Baker. There's also several docs in the files section that may help...just do a search for dorm or college.

Are those prices the actual value or are you giving them a discount? I love this, but I think I'm going to add the actual retail value of each package including the free products (even though it only adds $2).

 

[Nep2nfly]

They are discounted, very slightly - like .50...plus the free items...but I've already had people who weren't going to purchase anything, see this and order a package...so two dollars from my commission doesn't seem like much when I wouldn't have gotten the order at all. It probably wouldn't hurt to up the prices to the real price. I will try one show like that and see if if affects my sales. I also have been dropping these off at local businesses that allow me to advertise...ie my doctor, chiropractor, restaurants, dentist, pharmarcy, etc.

 

[Nep2nfly]

I have adjusted the prices up a bit on the flyer, so less of a discount on this one..but a great package.

 

[Nep2nfly]

Reposting flyer without personal information....and with prices adjusted a bit higher.

I love your flyer. Would it be very difficult for you to add the #1448 Small bar pan, and show the #2044 Bamboo Cooking Set as FREE, during March, in Super Kit? I don't know the first thing about importing and putting together such a flyer. I would love to offer it to my mailing list.

I love it!!!! Great idea. I'm going to use this idea and put it in a newsletter! Thank you so much for sharing. I too am very new

Awesome idea! The Smooth Edge Can Opener is also a great idea for college kids. Good luck with it!

I have an older version of Word. Can you tell me what is in the header? All I have is a black rectangle. Thanks!

 

[Nep2nfly]

I'm sorry - I hadn't checked this in a few days. I will make some changes and put in an older version of words so everyone can see it.

I love this, too!! I'd like to see one with a stone featured, as well - but, you did such a wonderful job of creating this flyer, and it would be difficult to add another set and keep it all on one page. I guess if someone contacts me to make a purchase, it's up to me to cross-sell.Also, since these can't be ordered as a set on the website, it's probably a good idea not to list your website address on the flyer, to avoid confusion.

 

[Nep2nfly]

Thanks Sarah - you're right about the website address. I will make up a new flyer this week with some of the ideas off of this thread. It's been crazy around here, so I'm super behind!
